It was pointed out to me yesterday that I was approaching 50,000 post.
I thank the DUer (Blue_Tires) who so informed me. I don't really pay much attention to stuff like that.

I have been here since 2003, I think when a close friend suggested I might fit in here.

And the Lounge is where I come for sanity breaks. I always end my day here. Much better to go to bed puzzling over some thought provoking science of laughing at some twitter of our animal friends.

Well, I plan to be around for quite a while yet. Plan to keep on fighting for a government of the people and for the people for s long time yet.

PS, I did not invent the Iowa caucuses, but I sure am going to take advantage of the opportunities they present.

2. Congratulations. Quite a milestone. I too have been here since 2003, but you're way more prolific

than me. Just broke 10,000 this past year.

4. We had a couple of years in the Iowa forum during the Bush years

where my post numbers ran up. That was due to our caucuses and some hot topics.
The last 10,000 have taken maybe 10 years.

7. Thank you

I so hope in 2 years we will be posting about our hopes for the future, not our fears of government.

Oh - and kitty pics

And hopes for the future, of course
