Can I reach 10,000 posts in 10 days (at 8,750) before I leave DU...

[joeybee12]

...for the summer? Heading to Yellowstone at the end of next week for four months--doubt I'll have internet access often....

Personally, I think I'll make 9,000--10,000 is too much, even for me!

[MuseRider]

1. Go for it!

We can talk tennis.

Why 4 months in Yellowstone? I am jealous, Yellowstone is just one of the most awesome places I have ever been.

[joeybee12]

3. Ok, I think Nadal is the favorite right now for the men at the upcoming

French Open, although I was glad to see Coria make it to the final and make it an exciting match. Coria was the favorite last year, and would have won except for his injury in the final.

Justine is the obvious women's favorite--be interesting to see how Serena does this week.

[MuseRider]

5. Yes.

I prefer Coria to Nadal but that may be because I don't know Nadal's game very well yet. All these new names! Last year I had a terrible time with all the new women. I love that the field is deeper now. I got really bored when it was Sampras all the time and Hingus who I NEVER cared about at all.

I hope Serena does well but I really do like Justine, she is just beautiful to watch.

[joeybee12]

6. It will be interesting to see if Nadal does it all..for some reason the

favorite going in just doesn't seem to pull it off. Last year Gaudio was unseeded, and no one expeted Mysinka to win the women's. Should be interesting, to say the least!

[bigwillq]

2. Hope you make it!

Wow, your trip sounds awesome. :hi:

[joeybee12]

4. Thanks...I'll be working...I'm telling people I'm watching pic-i-nic

baskets to keep them away from Yogi Bear and Boo-boo!

[xmas74]

7. just start more posts on pot smoking

or Bush milking a horse. You should make it in no time.

[joeybee12]

9. You're right! I should psot about how my new enighbor smokes non-stop!

Day and night I smlee the stuff! Must be medical! :sarcasm:

[xmas74]

15. That might get a few hundred posts.

Too bad this wasn't a month ago. You could have gotten two thousand if you started a thread about Schiavopalooza.

[joeybee12]

16. I was in Europe at that time of that whole mess...thank God...I did mentio

her name in a post when I came back, and the thread got locked!

[xmas74]

17. but it would have put you well over the 10,000 goal

just lots of flamewars.

[joeybee12]

18. Actually, they did cover it over in Prague...

...not as much here...but it seemed to be the only news from the US at the time!

[xmas74]

I know!

We had a huge budget crisis in MO where our gov. was trying to make cuts to nearly all social programs. Did I hear about that on the local news? No. I got to hear about her instead.

[joeybee12]

21. Pretty sad state of affairs--Terri Schiavo, Michael Jackson, and Laura

talking about how George likes to jerk off horses.

[xmas74]

22. You forgot about Britney's pregnancy.

[joeybee12]

23. True, and while we're on the subject of talentless, I forgot about the

"Newlyweds" (nick and Jessica) marital problems.

[xmas74]

25. Or about J-Lo's attempt to get knocked up.

[joeybee12]

27. She has just got to stop marrying gay men if she wants that to happen!

And who said gay marriage was illegal in this country???

[xmas74]

28. She must be really mad that Ben got Jen #2

knocked up instead of her.

[joeybee12]

29. Yeah...would have hated to be anything breakable when she got

that news!

[xmas74]

30. I would have laughed my ass off!

[joeybee12]

31. You mean when you were with her when she heard the news?

Heck, you wouldn't have lasted long in her entourage!

[xmas74]

32. I never would have made it into the entourage.

I would have told her to f*ck off long before that!

[joeybee12]

33. Hey, my opinion of you just increased ten-fold!

:D

[xmas74]

35. Of course.

Everyone knows I hate J-Lo!

[joeybee12]

36. And my opinion of you was quite high to begin with....

;-)

[xmas74]

40. cuz I used to smoke pot

and am comfortable enough to start my own thread about it!

[joeybee12]

42. Well, you could have fooled me!

[xmas74]

43. lol!

[joeybee12]

44. Seriously, I'm so young and innocent and all...

....:sarcasm:

[xmas74]

45. you too?

I'm not a day over 21 (in my dreams).

[joeybee12]

46. I can't wait until I turn 21! Only 3 more years and I can graduate

high school!

[xmas74]

47. now you really suck!

[joeybee12]

48. Hey--for being honest?

[Pithlet]

8. Good luck!

Enjoy your trip.

[joeybee12]

10. Thanks!

[Longgrain]

11. I'll probably make it to 10,000 in about that time

But I'm about 600 posts closer than you are. Plus I reply a lot to my threads, so maybe I'll get there even sooner.

[joeybee12]

12. How long did it take you to get this far?

I think I've been posting for about 3 years now--honestly can't say I recall exactly!

[Longgrain]

13. Look at my profile

I've only been here since a month before the election.

I just tend to post a lot of long threads that get lots of replies.

[joeybee12]

14. Nooooooooooooooooooo!

All mine tend to die quickly! :cry:

[TheProphetess]

19. It's worth a try!

Good luck! :hi:

[joeybee12]

20. Thanks!

:hi:

[fleabert]

24. if you post your ass off!

enjoy yellowstone, one of my favorite vacations was to yellowstone. I highly reccommend the one way hike from the northern interior, crossing the Montana state line, ending in Gardiner Mt. (the northern gate if I remember correctly)

wonderful hike!

[joeybee12]

26. Sounds like a great hike--where was the starting point?

I guess at the end you enjoyed allt he exciting nightlife Gardiner had to offer!

[fleabert]

49. I will have to ask our map person (my dh) if he remembers. We found the

the trailhead by driving, it's right off the main road. Parked there, hiked it Gardiner, caught a cab back to the car (took all of ten minutes to drive there! LOL, the hike took 9 hours!) and then drove back to Gardiner and had a FANTASTIC dinner. It was amazing. My best friend found the hike listed online... I will see if I can find it for you. It was cool as shit.

edit: ps- I emailed yellowstone, maybe they can help. I didn't find it yet online. I will do my best before you leave! pm right before you leave to make sure I don't lose track of you!

[joeybee12]

50. Thanks--but please don't go to a lot of trouble.

:hi:

[fleabert]

51. no trouble, I'd love to be able to talk about it when you get back!

have a great time! and don't go wandering off the trails in the active thermal areas! two weeks before we went, two employees died when the went off the 'piers' after a party and fell thru the crust! Horrible way to go, IMO. There is a great book (I am sick, I know) they sell in the gift shops, 'Death in Yellowstone', it was fascinating.

[joeybee12]

52. I've seen the book--never bought it, though...anyway, the whole place

is about to blow apparently--very active these days!

[fleabert]

53. Most thermally active spot in the world, pretty cool huh?

hope it doesn't blow anytime soon, for your sake and mine, I'd like to visit again.

[joeybee12]

54. It's supposed to blow soon!

At leats they're saying it's gotten a lot more active!

[fleabert]

55. BTW- here's another good hike:

I'm on the right, at the top of the hike. it's called the Seven Mile Hole Hike. short in distance, but the elevation change is DRASTIC, for a day hike. we loved it. unbelievable views.

I have pics from the other hike too, but left off the name from the pics, so I don't know what it's called! grrrr!

here is that pic:

[joeybee12]

57. Thanks! I'll have to find this one while I'm up there...

Looks like you had good weather on the top hike!

[joeybee12]

34. Better kick this sucker, or I'll never make it!

[Heidi]

56. Kick! (nt)

[shesemsmom]

37. You can do it

[joeybee12]

[shesemsmom]
