Rhiannon would like to thank all her friends on DU in the event

[Rhiannon12866]

of her 5000th Milestone. Wow, I recall never thinking I would ever reach 100, LOL! I'm not going to name names, since I'm bound to leave someone out, but you know who you all are and I have great affection for all of you. You have given me information, challenged me, supported me and my animals, and provided the best and most stimulating camaraderie on the web. Thanks so much from me, Meneken, Sara and Catlin. And here's to a Democratic victory in 2004!!!
THANK YOU!!! :loveya: TO MY FRIENDS ON DU!!! :loveya: YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!! :loveya: I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND YOU!!! :loveya: AND HOPE TO MAKE IT TO 5000 MORE!!! :kick:

It has been fun getting to know you, LOL!:hi:

[jus_the_facts]

3. Thanks for bein' here Rhiannon......

....to a very compassionate person I'm honored to call friend! :yourock: :hug:

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Same to you and thank you so much!!!

Wishing you all good things and many more lovely posts...:pals:

[blm]

4. Well done.

You should have another 5000 posted by the election. heheh

[Rhiannon12866]

6. The way I'm going, I wouldn't be surprised

If Will would just get more going about my candidate, Dennis Kucinich, I would be grateful, but, for the moment, I would vote for my local dogcatcher over George Bush*, LOL! Thanks a lot!:hi:

[Terwilliger]

7. Thank YOU

:loveya: :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

27. For what? I just needed to thank all of you for all your kindness to me.

I feel the same way about you.:-)
:loveya::hi:

8. Thank you Rhiannon

Your an asset to DU.

Post some pictures of your kids.

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Thank you. I just love your sig photo.

Okay, get ready. Here are my "kids." Remember, you asked for it, LOL!

Meneken


Sara


Catlin

24. He is so small

They are all so sweet looking and the one on the top is so tiny.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Yes, he is only nine pounds. All of mine are rescue, even the little rare

dog. They are very sweet, especially Sara, who is not crazy, as the glowing eyes make her look! The problem one is my cat, who has a growth in her ear and I fear she is uncomfortable. I must take her back to the vet this week. I am so frustrated to have finally brought her indoors (two years ago!) to have her confronted with this. She just needs to be comfortable and feel safe. I hear her snoring just now, so, at least she is sleeping and comfortable, at the moment. Yes, my little guy is small, but when I take him out, he thinks he's a Rottweiler, LOL! He scares me!:D

[Lostmessage]

37. I love that little guy

He looks so cute in that picture. Your other kids are adorable too.

[Rhiannon12866]

57. Thank you. I have bad news. I lost my kitty yesterday

I have been meaning to post this, since everyone has been so kind, but it is still pretty hard. I miss her, especially now, since this was her room and I keep expecting her to appear.;(

[camero]

9. Woohoo, congrats Rhiannon

on 5000. keep up the good posting. :party: :toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

23. Thank you, camero, I'm struggling to keep up!

So much is going on! But I couldn't let 5000 go by without throwing my own little party!

How'd you get the smilies to run like that? That's cool. :)

[Old and In the Way]

10. Congrats Rhiannon!

:cheers:

You make this place special! Always enjpy your posts!

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Thank you, my friend. I look forward to hearing from you, as well.

We never did get that photo of any Bush photographed with any bin Laden, did we?! I just know that there must be one out there.

Also, thank you for WWW. I enjoy her, and both of your kitty threads, as well. I can hear my little rescued one, snoring in her little "house" behind me, and and am so grateful that I was able to bring her in. She has a growth in her ear, which is getting larger, so I must bring her back to the vet again this week. This poor little kitty deserves a period of comfort and safety.

Thanks, again!:hi:

[JeniB]

11. Congrats Rhiannon12866

I haven't been on here in so long, but I had to return to celebrate your 5000th. Your fingers must be worn to the bone!! Keep on typing!!

[Rhiannon12866]

26. You changed your avatar! What gives here?!

Thanks so much for kicking my thread. Everyone on DU has been so kind to me. My fingers are hardly worn, compared to so many. Welcome back! We have missed you!:-)

[VOX]

55. Well done, Rhiannon!

I always look forward to reading your thoughtful posts.

Keep up the good work -- I hear your footsteps right behind me as I head toward 6K!

:hug:

[Rhiannon12866]

56. You will always have a slight jump on me, rezmutt!

I was just reading another one of your posts, LOL! I enjoy yours, as well. Thanks so much and I look forward to a few more K from both of us!:pals:

BTW, I love your kitty!:loveya:

13. I'm approaching 5,000 myself.

Congratulations!

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Thank you! I will try to look out for this!

Everyone here has been so nice today and you, with one of the coolest screen names on DU, certainly deserve the same treatment!:D

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. Congratulations!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. hey congrads

Congrads sis heh. Remember, Slavic Irish is the best combo to have and Kucinich and Gephardt heh. Congrads Rhi.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Thank you, little brother. It means so much to have you here

Yes, we share the same venerable background and support the same candidates. I will still support Kucinich, though I haven't as much hope, more's the pity, and do miss Gephardt, who was sincere, honest and a true friend of labor, which I know is closest to your heart. Who knows? It's not over till it's over!:hi:

[The Magistrate]

16. Congratulations, Mem'Sahib!

Here's to five thousand more, my friend!

"When you come to a fork in the road...take it!"

[Rhiannon12866]

32. Thank you for finding me. I have missed you, my friend.

No party would be complete without you. I will never match you with either posts or knowledge, but need to take time out from the primaries forum to return to I/P. Nothing I ever say on either will make the slightest difference in the world, but, at least, on I/P, I will have the benefit of your knowledge.:-)

[The Magistrate]

39. My Pleasure, Mem'Sahib

The primary discussion has been my usual resort as well for the last few weeks; you know my taste for blood-sport....

"I belong to no organized party; I am a Democrat."

[Don_G]

17. Thank You

You're more of a friend and an asset than most people will ever know.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. Thank you for the kind words, Don

I hope you know that you can depend on me and that I am a friend.:-)

[WWW]

18. If someone asked me who the kindest, sweetest Duer was

I would say you. You were so kind to me when I started posting on DU. I always feel like your posts reflect my sentiments to a tee. You were the first person I felt like I could call a friend on DU. Congrats. You are just a sweetie!

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Thank you so much! I have so enjoyed your posts, especially

those about the kitties. You are the one with the kind heart, looking after those who cannot look after themselves. Thank you for everything, especially your kindness to me, since you first started posting. It has meant so much...
:loveya:

[Darranar]

19. Congrats!

[Rhiannon12866]

43. Thanks so much!

I found DU to have become my home.:kick:

[buddhamama]

20. Congratulations to a very dear, very sweet DUer

three cheers :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Congrats!

And many more happy postings! :toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Thank you so much!

And to you, as well...:toast:

[KG]

35. see what happens when you stick around?

:)

[Rhiannon12866]

47. I have stuck around

It seems ages since I was welcomed by newyawker99 on my very first post. It has definitely been worth it. People here, including you, are definitely the best!:toast:

[nuxvomica]

36. Congrats, Rhiannon12866!

I think we started posting around the same time but I'm waaaaay behind you. :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

48. Thank you, nux! So get busy!!!

Thanks for the congrats and wishing you many more, as well!:hi:

[populistmom]

38. Congrats!

I remember thinking the same thing about 100 posts. I think it took me somewhere between 6 and 8 months. Now, I can't keep my mouth shut anymore.

Anyway, huge congratulations. :party:

[Rhiannon12866]

49. Me, too! It's surprising how they suddenly add up

Especially when you really get into it. I completely missed 4000 by quite a bit, LOL! Anyway, thanks so much!:D

[ProfessorGAC]

41. Congrats!

Catching up to me!
The Professor

[Rhiannon12866]

50. You are dangerously close to 6000!!!

I'm typing as fast as I can, LOL! Thanks!:D

[GabysPoppy]

45. You go girl

:toast: to 5000

and a :toast: to another 5000

[Rhiannon12866]

51. Thank you, my friend! I have missed you.

No party of mine would be complete without you. How are things in "the grudge match in the basement?" I'd better go down there soon to find out.:hi:

[GabysPoppy]

52. LOL

We should meet in a classier place.

I hope all is well with you my friend. I miss you and your wise voice. Yours is one of the true voices not hidden by hate or fear.

[Rhiannon12866]

53. What a lovely compliment, my friend

I do my best to keep my emotions in check and to hear all sides of the question. I believe that everyone has a legitimate reason for feeling as they do. I think the most important thing is to see the other's humanity and to have respect and understanding for their opinions, even if you don't agree.:shrug:

[proud patriot]

54. Wow that's great

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

58. Thank you, proud patriot!

I would never have a hope in this lifetime of catching up with you, so your congratulations are very much appreciated! Thanks so much!:hi:

[VOX]

59. Wow, you're already over 5100 -- ssssmokin', Rhi!

Now that's some serious posting. A mere 25 posts/day leaves me tuckered out!

I have a major case of night-owlism going on tonight, so I thought I'd thank you again for your considerate and sensitive posts...

Here's to ya! :hug: :toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

60. Am I really?! I hadn't checked, LOL!

This is an anomaly for me. Sometimes I go for days at a time without posting. Thanks so much for your kind words and your informed posts. I have seen a lot of you, tonight, since we both seem to be up past curfew. Here's to you, as well, and thank you, again.:hug::toast:

[trigz]

61. Congrats on a big milestone, darling! :)

Well earned!

[Rhiannon12866]

62. Thank you, my friend! It means so much to hear from you!

How are you and the little one? I read some of your web page and was really touched by it. You are going to be an awesome Dad.:D

[trigz]

63. Oh, we're all swell!

My lady's belly is massive and there are just seven weeks to go. I can feel the little one is getting impatient in there! Which part of the blog did you read? It's updated as of today, you know ;)

[Rhiannon12866]

64. Thank you, my friend. I will take another look!

I'm so glad that all continues to go well for you and your little one. You do remember that you promised to report it here first, don't you?!:D

[trigz]

65. Don't worry, you'll hear about it!

I can't promise that my mom, dad, grandmom and brother won't get to know about it first, but the news will spread! ;)

[Rhiannon12866]

66. LOL! You have to know by now that so many report their news first

on DU! But I certainly think you can be granted a dispensation! Have a great weekend, my friend! The temperatures are supposed to dip here, then then warm up next week. I wish you the same good weather.:hi:
