10. You deserve much of the credit, darlin'

If you didn't play so hard to get with me, I wouldn't have to post incessently trying to convince you to change your wicked ways!

2. Moon Pies and RC Cola for everyone!

:party::loveya:

[southlandshari]

12. I need message board etiquette advice

And since you are pretty much here ALL the time, I figured you could help... :P

I want to reply to everyone in this thread - they've said nice things about me! I NEED to respond. Dysfunctional southern politeness - YOU know what I mean.

Will it look like I am just obnoxiously kicking a thread about myself if I do?

Help!

;)

[newyawker99]

19. Well....

You can give one message for all or
you can answer individually. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

50. I'm sorry I left you in your time of need.

The answer: it's up to you. I've done both in the past. I think either is acceptable. However, if you respond to SOME, you should reply to all. :)

[southlandshari]

53. See? That's what I thought!

I can't win!!! Reply to everyone = obnoxious attention seeker. Reply to a few = clique snob. Reply to none = impossible. I'm just not wired for ignoring nice people saying nice things to me!!!

Newyawker99 - NO MORE MILESTONE THREADS WITH MY NAME IN THEM!!!

:crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

55. Just put in one response thanking everyone.

Don't ignore the thread - that's the worst. :scared:

[southlandshari]

56. I already did that!

But before that, I responded to the first few replies here. And then some evil DUers posted replies that I HAD to respond to, so I came back and posted, even after I said I wouldn't!

:blush:

ROFL. I'm guessing that now it is no longer a mystery how I got to 10K posts so fast...

:hide:

[southlandshari]

64. As long as California Peggy's 10K congrats thread

keeps growing, I think I'm safe replying to everyone!

Hold that thought. Will be back later after house is clean (yeah, right!) and family fed and put to bed!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

117. My dear southlandshari......

YOUR thread has long since outstripped mine.....

And it could not have happened to a more deserving DU'er: YOU!

I love you!

I personally think she should quit all that infernal yapping.







































Guess who?

[hfojvt]

16. without a profile, you yourself

might have thousands of posts yourself.
Doubtless you will post again - the weather report is calling for more drivel. :evilgrin:

[southlandshari]

20. Thank you!

That guy can be a real jerk sometimes!

:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear southlandshari!

Biggo congrats on attaining five-digit status!

You are a positive force for good here in the Lounge, my dear!

I count it a positive privilege to know and love you.......


:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[southlandshari]

74. And welcome to the 10K club to you, too!

As I said in your congrats thread, Miss Peggy - you are one of the sweetest, warmest and most welcoming people I've ever had the good fortune to cross paths with!

18. Congratulations!

[southlandshari]

77. Thanks!

I'm curious - what is the story behind your username? As a lifetime Jimmy Buffett devotee, any talk of dead parrots gives me goosebumps!

I'm sure there is an interesting story behind it...

:hi:

[terrya]

21. Congratulations, honey!

How's one of my very favorite people doing? :hug:

[southlandshari]

23. Look what you made me do!

I just posted a "thank you" post to everyone (though I still think you are all nuts to be happy about my alarmingly high post count!) - but how could I not respond to you directly?

:hug:

[terrya]

24. Hey....it ups your post count! :-)

This is great news...because you've gotten to quite an achievement.

AND it's a way for all of us to tell you what a superb job you're doing here in the Lounge....AND to say how much we like you. :-)

:hug:

[southlandshari]

25. STOP IT!!!

I've already said I'm not going to post again here. Be as nice as you want. I shall not reply. No matter how much it kills the good ol' Southern girl in me.

Nope. Not gonna do it again.

And since this is my last post in this thread, I want to be sure you know that I :loveya: you!!!

[southlandshari]

22. As per expert advice - thank you to everyone who posts here!

Newyawker99 is the undisputed guru of DU forum etiquette, and she says it is ok for me to just say thank you once, for everyone who says nice stuff about me in this thread. So, here goes...for everyone here...it is a Moon Pie Bonanza!!!

I was born in Baton Rouge. Geaux Tigers!

[KitchenWitch]

96. Oh man, I am so sorry

My Badgers beat Purdue!

[southlandshari]

99. Sigh.

At least my Georgia Bulldogs won, despite losing quarterback D.J. Shockley to a nasty injury in the first half (he'll be out at least one game, maybe more).

FIVE missed field goals by the AU placekicker. I am not one to bad mouth the kids out there playing their hearts out, but FIVE? Wasn't there a walk-on or a water boy that could have made that last overtime attempt?

:cry:

Congrats on the Badgers win - I just didn't have it in me to start my usual celebratory thread for you Saturday night. But I did think about you when I saw the score!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

101. 5 field goals?

OUCH! All placekickers DO is kick field goals, and do kickoffs...Jeebus

[southlandshari]

105. He was 1 for 6 last night.

The most heartbreaking miss was the final play of overtime - that attempt actually hit the goal post before bouncing out.

:cry:

[KitchenWitch]

106. argghhh!

:cry:

We really need a temper tantrum smiley for this!

[southlandshari]

107. Here's one candidate....

[KitchenWitch]

108. Love it!

[southlandshari]

111. More....

[SeattleGirl]

31. Way to go, shari!!!

80. Thanks!

Those woohoo smilies need partners!

[EstimatedProphet]

32. Been waiting for you

Race you to 20K

[southlandshari]

34. On your mark....

Get set...

.....


ah, to hell with this, let's open the bar in the mod forum. I'd rather drink than post right now!

;)

[EstimatedProphet]

37. Good answer!

Let's play quarters!

[southlandshari]

39. Are you sure you want to go there?

I am embarrassed to say that I remember very little of my college years except the fact that I was usually the last one standing whenever the quarters and shot glasses came out.

:hide:

[EstimatedProphet]

47. Are you sure YOU want to go there?

It takes a lot to knock me down. On my birthday I have a tradition of drinking my age in shots. I'm in my 40's, and I always walk out under my own steam at the end of the night.

[southlandshari]

58. Ok, old man....

You and me. Head to head. One quarter. One shot glass. And enough beer to intoxicate the entire Lounge for one night.

Name your time and date. Halloween night works for me. As long as you prepare the appropriate costume...



:evilgrin:

[EstimatedProphet]

66. Beer? BEER?!?

Tequila or Jagermeister. Anything else is cheating.

[southlandshari]

69. You are ON!

Just let me finish replying to everyone on this thread before we do this thing. I'm goofy enough sober!

:P

[EstimatedProphet]

78. OK

Let's PM for ground rules...

[southlandshari]

82. Awaiting your PM....

[flvegan]

33. Too bad it's 9,900 that are the equivalent of spam.

But 100 good ones ain't bad!

Congrats!!!!

Just kiddin...you know I wuvs you, darling.

[southlandshari]

85. You know what you can do with your spam, flvegan....

I don't really know what "it" is, I just liked the pretty picture!

84. ......

If just one of my 10K posts is half as good as anything you've posted, I am at peace with my absurdly high post count!

[Blue-Jay]

38. You're in some very questionable company, Shari.

[southlandshari]

40. LOL!

I see you beat me by a little more than a month. Just wait until after a full mod term. That's what did it to me. I had just over 1,000 posts my first year here. The other 8,000 and change have been in the past six months.

:yoiks:

As that Moderator guy said upthread - I need to pipe down a little, don't you think?

;)

[Heidi]

41. Raise the pie higher, shari!

[southlandshari]

89. ROFL!

My arms will only reach so high...but watch what I can do with my DU toaster!

Another Thich Nhat Hanh quote worth reading every morning...

"Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive."

:thumbsup:

[Shine]

112. Niiiice.

Thich Nhat Hanh is amazing. Thanks for sharing that quote, Shari.

Have I given you one of these lately?

:hug:

[southlandshari]

59. Thank you to everyone who has posted since my last thank you!

I would rather respond to each of you individually, but kicking a thread with my own name in the subject line has been determined to be against proper message board etiquette.

And you all know how important good manners are to me, right?

:P

How can I not respond to you? Or all of the other friends who have responded here?

DAMN YOU NEWYAWKER99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will try to ignore all the nice posts in this thread so that I will not be tempted to reply to each of them. To accomplish this, I shall adopt the nasty mindset of our old friend....




Juuuuulllllliiiiieeee! :hug:

Glad you've gotten comfortable in the Lounge. I have to admit, I was scared silly of this forum the first year I was here. Now, I cannot for the life of me figure out why that was!
