1,000,000 post thread

[riscy]

and on Page 666 - that has to be an Omen ;)

[riscy]

pushing on through the barrier, regardless

[riscy]

I am on a roll now

[riscy]

Will keep on posting for a bit longer

[riscy]

and then retire happy and contented

[riscy]

in the knowledge that I contributed to the Millyun posts

[riscy]

Will try to make a personal landmark as well - 1400 tonight

[riscy]

Which is not too far off

[riscy]

and should be achievable

[riscy]

well, I am off to refresh my liquid intake

[riscy]

Not sure how many consecutive posts I have had - a lot

[riscy]

but not in the same league as MM

[riscy]

I will do a bit of surfin' then head off now

[riscy]

three landmarks in one night is enough excitement for me

[riscy]

I feel quite drained

[riscy]

It must be the adrenalin rush

[riscy]

Now I know how Sir Edmund Hillary felt

[riscy]

or rather Sherpa Tensing

[riscy]

as we all know HE got there first

[riscy]

and looked down on the world :)

[riscy]

Well bugger me sideways, I have overtaken LOTD - oops, sorry

[riscy]

Thumper - I have you firmly in my sights !

[riscy]

As you sleep, so shall I post ;)

[riscy]

Will try and post a few more and hope that MM comes back from lunch before I head off

[riscy]

He is having a liquid lunch I bet

[riscy]

Last day of the week for me manana

[riscy]

Weekend!!

[riscy]

and then one more week before the hols

[riscy]

I am so ready for a holiday

[riscy]

and looking forward to working on the house

[riscy]

It is a different kind of work - physical not mental

[riscy]

and a different kind of problem solving too

[riscy]

not to do with people and emotions, but facts and figures

[riscy]

I will take loads of pics of the area and house this summer, then post them for people here

[riscy]

I am crap at posting pics - I take loads, then do nothing with them

[riscy]

Well, it looks like MM is DEFINITELY having a liquid lunch

[riscy]

Any road up, I am out of here in 10 mins

[riscy]

It has been great having the thread to myself to rant

[riscy]

But I much prefer the company

[riscy]

of the others

[riscy]

as the posts just whizz by

[riscy]

when you chat to someone else

[riscy]

If I do not sign off now then I will be tempted to go for my next big milestone

[riscy]

It is so close I can taste it

[riscy]

But I will resist the urge

[riscy]

Be strong

[riscy]

Must be strong

[riscy]

Must be really strong

[riscy]

72 posts is a lot

[mathmission]

If I do not sign off now then I will be tempted to go for my next big milestone
You know you want to keep going!!!

[ObiWanKenobi]

[riscy]

as you can see I am trying to convince myself NOT to go for it

[riscy]

Bugger!!!!!!

[mathmission]

That was a nice lunch, shade in the warm weather, reading. Though I really need to get some better food.

[riscy]

[riscy]

Likewise my friend. I don't have a mouse for this computer so it takes me a few moments to reply...

[riscy]

Just to fill you in, I made the 10,000th post and first post on page 666!!!

[riscy]

Well, just wanted to let you know that there might be some lag... and of course, if the phone rings here, I have to deal with that.

[riscy]

Why thank you MM - glad that someone reads this BSAnd 77 more posts...phhhsaaw, of course you can do that.

I read through all your posts, congrats on the 10,000th post in this thread, and the 666 page

[riscy]

UnderstoodWell, just wanted to let you know that there might be some lag... and of course, if the phone rings here, I have to deal with that.

[riscy]

Fine, had a few beers, off to bed soonSo, how are you two doing?

[mathmission]

Why thank you MM - glad that someone reads this BS
Ha, yeah, back a few summers ago when I was posting here, I would write 5 or 6 sentences per post, for over 100 posts, never thought that anyone would go back and read it all, so I always make the effort to go back and make sure I didn't miss anything.

[riscy]

Had a very stressful day, and have had enough here

[mathmission]

Fine, had a few beers, off to bed soon
Sounds like a good night so far

[riscy]

The kids are doing exams and it is BORING as hell

[riscy]

Usual state of affairs - a few beers, then crash and get up at 6am

[riscy]

BTW, did you check that post from Africa I PMed you about?

[mathmission]

Had a very stressful day, and have had enough here
Yeah, I hear that. Problems with the car were getting to me, so a friend and I rented the first season fo 24, and started watching it. He had just finished up with the LSAT, the Law test to see if you can get into a good school. Not sure how he did.

[riscy]

I find it really hard with our two sigs as I scroll through fast to see which is which - the colours are so similar :)

[mathmission]

BTW, did you check that post from Africa I PMed you about?
Hmmm, I got one from you about the movie thing, but not africa. BRB, gonna check it out

[riscy]

LOL - we have had the first season here for ages on DVD and I said to the wife last night we should start watching it, but we didn'tYeah, I hear that. Problems with the car were getting to me, so a friend and I rented the first season fo 24, and started watching it. He had just finished up with the LSAT, the Law test to see if you can get into a good school. Not sure how he did.

[riscy]

I keep meaning to watch it. We saw Series 1 of lost and Series 1&2 of The 4400

[riscy]

Living overseas you tend to get series a lot later (if at all)

[riscy]

But that way we can take recommendations from friends

[riscy]

on what to watch

[riscy]

the pussy is getting very demanding ATM

[mathmission]

LOST would have to be my favorite show, and so far, I'm only 3 episodes into 24, but it seems decent so far.

About the Africa post, that's ok, I've responded to him. If you want to move that post to the section about the site, that's fine, otherwise, I've already sent him/her a response based on his/her question

[riscy]

He is miaowing and looking for attention

[mathmission]

the pussy is getting very demanding ATM
:rofl3:

[riscy]

Agreed - Lost is so clever - I want to watch it again already.

I will move it - I think I have rights, but do not want to step on the toes of anther Mod.

Indeed, LOST season 2 is pretty decent, but I wouldn't say it's as good as the first season. It's got some good story to it, but in terms of technical creation, and artistic feel, it just feels like they hooked their viewers, so they didn't put the same effort into it.

[mathmission]

That's ok, I've ok-ed it :dance2:

[riscy]

Just have to use the word "pussy" in any sentence to crack up our Transatlantic cousins :)

:rofl3:

[riscy]

especially Canooks - they are always mortified when I say "Sally was stroking her pussy last night"

[mathmission]

especially Canooks - they are always mortified when I say "Sally was stroking her pussy last night"
Heh, well yeah. Here it has somewhat of a different meaning :kitty:

[riscy]

I know- that's why I say it ;)

[riscy]

But it is like you saying "Yesterday I fell on my fanny"

[riscy]

Or - "I put my purse in my fanny pack"

[riscy]

A way different meaning

[ThumperZ1]

Another busy day.. with very few posts.

[riscy]

Ok

[ThumperZ1]

Danged open house this afternoon and this evening...

[riscy]

Good, Thumper :)Another busy day.. with very few posts.

[riscy]

I am on your case

[ThumperZ1]

Howdy mm and riscy!

[riscy]

Whacking up those posts

[riscy]

Good to see ya Thumper

Howdy mm and riscy!

[ThumperZ1]

I've noticed... at this rate you will catch me by the weekend.

[riscy]

Inshallah

[ThumperZ1]

Another Battle - allen/lande

[riscy]

Inshallah = Arabic for God willing, if God wishes it = maybe

[ThumperZ1]

I was within 100 of being a thousand ahead... but now.....

[riscy]

Just thought I would do the translation there to show my versatility ;)

[ThumperZ1]

Falling In Between - Toto

[riscy]

Way behind now Thumper - it is all that sleeping!
I was within 100 of being a thousand ahead... but now.....

[ThumperZ1]

I'm not a big believer, so whatever will be will be whatever you make it.

[riscy]

But do not despair - I will be offline for AGES, so you can make up all the ground you have lost

[mathmission]

Or - "I put my purse in my fanny pack"
Well now, I'm curious, what would the meaning of that be?

[ThumperZ1]

Us danged old people do require several hours of bed time.

[mathmission]

:dance:

[riscy]

fanny pack = bum bag, safety belt sort of thing - no?

[ThumperZ1]

He's obviously embarrassed about carrying a purse, so he hides it in a fanny pack...

[riscy]

the older you get the less sleep you need- scientifically proven factUs danged old people do require several hours of bed time.

[ThumperZ1]

Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss- Whiskey Lullaby

[riscy]

purse = money container (bad example as that also has two meanings between US and UK)

[riscy]

Uk - purse = what you put your money in
US = handbag (larger)

[ThumperZ1]

I didnt' say I needed more sleep, I said we need more bed time... we get up and down several times during the night.

[riscy]

It's good to have 3 here

[riscy]

Lucky you !!!!!!!!!I didnt' say I needed more sleep, I said we need more bed time... we get up and down several times during the night.

[ThumperZ1]

We have coinpurses for change..(old timey stuff) or wallet for bills.

[mathmission]

fanny pack = bum bag, safety belt sort of thing - no?
A fanny pack here is a little belt with a small pack that people can put things in, like cameras, or wallets. Usually, people on vacation keep them on, so they don't lose their stuff.

[riscy]

You are just boasting now Thumper - aptly named

[ThumperZ1]

No, it's not for that reason... it's waking up going to the bathroom, going back to sleep.... etc.

[riscy]

Correct - but fanny in Uk = pussy (go figure)

I just go with the standard pockets, shove whatever I have in there. Course, I almost never carry cash, so it's sort of a mute point.

[ThumperZ1]

That may be how the nickname came about, but that was YEARS ago.

[riscy]

Oh, bugger - incompetence!

No, it's not for that reason... it's waking up going to the bathroom, going back to sleep.... etc.

[mathmission]

No, it's not for that reason... it's waking up going to the bathroom, going back to sleep.... etc.
:rofl3: Oh Thumper.... So how have you been?

[riscy]

Joking, Thumper

Oh, bugger - incompetence!

[ThumperZ1]

[riscy]

All the great wits did it

Ah, there's nothing better than quoting yourself!

[ThumperZ1]

I'm not getting enough sleep, even though I lay down for 6 hours... I'm too busy working... and not getting enough slack time.... other than that...not bad...

[mathmission]

I don't really have any milestones to wait for for a while now.

[riscy]

or was it twits????

[riscy]

Not sure

[ThumperZ1]

Can I quote myself on that?

[riscy]

Well, it is getting late here - gtg soon

[mathmission]

I was reading a study that actually said that you shouldn't get too much sleep. Of course, it did also suggest that you do get a lot of R and R time!

[riscy]

Of course you can as long as you deny it later

Can I quote myself on that?

[mathmission]

Well, it is getting late here - gtg soon
Yeah, I imagine so! You're almost there!
