********MILESTONES*******

[Strong Atheist]

In Honor of newyawker99


Apologies: To make a long and no doubt boring story shorter, my life has gotten
stressfull and hectic. It will stay that way till the Christmas break. I am WAY
behind in all aspects of it including the MILESTONES. I think that if I can get back
to doing them once a week (probably on Saturdays; but possibly Sundays) instead of the
two to three times I was doing over the summer, that will help to make this aspect
manageable till Christmas. So, that is what I am going to aim for for now.




The following is the last three weeks of MILESTONES, and is no doubt WAY out of date,
but I have to catch up and triage some way. These are SOME of the people who have made
MILESTONES since the last one three weeks ago, and a few may have moved on since my last
notes on them. I especially need to apologize to the ones that I can not post an
individual congratulation for this time around on the 10000 and up by 5000's list. I
only have 4 hours this morning, and I did not want to fill the lounge with 30 or so
posts; so I just did the top few. Sorry.



Please join me in congratulating
the following DUer's who achieved
milestones recently! :D

26. Thanks Strong Atheist

Thanks very much, Strong Atheist, for taking over the work of newyawker99.

I now finally have 1000 posts after having posted here since May 2002. Thanks for the acknowledgment.

I understand about your life being stressful and hectic. I myself am now taking a couple of classes at my local community college, and have started working on a project for some people that might possibly be turning into a job. These have to take precedence over posting on DU. There are some recent threads in the Religion/Theology forum that I have some things to say in response to, but I have to think them out. I may be posting my responses to some of them in the near future.
