22 posts to the big 10,000 (Tell me what's important to you.)
:wow:

I haven't set a record pace, but still...

DU has been a great place to learn, debate and play.

I don't want to do an "Ask me anything" post. Instead, tell me what's important to you. What do you value?

I could rattle off many things. Friends. Family. Freedom. All good things. I think a true measure of the value you place on something is the time you spend devoted to it or the resources you spend on it.

I must admit that I live a pretty selfish life. That needs to change. I'm tired of me.

What's important to you?

2. My post count
But seriously, I would say that I really value the "Golden Rule".

I try to live by it.

12. You should try flirting
It's a great way to pad your post count.

The Golden Rule is one of my faves.

3. Love.
FAR more important than money. Love is precious, rare and dear. True love, that is.

9. Getting rid of the 5 cent deposit in NY state
People are pigs and don't wash their returns. I have to count them at the Service Desk where I work. It's disgusting.

10. Freedom
From prying eyes
From The Man
From Big Brother

To express myself
To be all that I can be (and NOT in the Army)
To live peacefully and quietly

15. Right now my main concern is just how thirsty these pretzels are making me
And on top of that, just how should I say it to convey the fact that these pretzels are making me thirsty.

33. My 10,000 th post is to Bettyellen
I've been meaning to send you a PM to thank you for the nice things you said about me in that thread last week.

I'll say thank you in public.

I had so much fun getting to know you this winter. You are a dear soul. No one could be a better friend. If I found myself in a Mexican jail, I think I'd call you.

You are great fun, and you make me laugh but you are so much more than that. You're full of compassion and caring. You back up your words with actions.

...and you're one helluva lounge singer.

:loveya:

Religious freedom, including freedom from religion.

38. I guess tops on my list would be having a return to sanity in our country
and respect from our allies. After that, the usual things: my family, my health, friendship...

BTW: CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING 10,000 POSTS! To my sweet friend in Vancouver...love and kisses always!

:pals:
