[Bengus81]

1. DAMN....100,000?!?!?!

How many keyboards did you go through?? LOL....CONGRATS!!

[onit2day]

52. Perfect time to ask why this site is runningMcCaskill attack ads

In Mo the Democratic Underground is running a different ad weekly attacking Senator McCaskill as a liar. Why is this professed democratic site running republican attack ads? I don't get it. Can anyone explain this to me. You would be banned and "post removed" if you attacked McCaskill in a post or comment yet here is an attack ad calling her a liar running daily. What's up with that?

59. Buy a star and you won't see the ads that pay for this site.

[treestar]

An achievement, I must say!

[MineralMan]

Uff da!

[Madam45for2923]

18. Woohoo!!!! Bestest 100,000 POST!!!!

[MineralMan]

20. Thanks. That's pretty much what I've been saying all along, really.

It's the main message we need to see, I believe.

[Madam45for2923]

21. LOL! Can you imagine when we die and have our headstones inscribed w/just: GOTV

[MineralMan]

28. Hmm....I'm thinking I need to talk to my wife about that.

That would be a great epitaph on a gravestone at the National Cemetery here in the Twin Cities. Thanks!

[Madam45for2923]

45. Hahaha!! Probably consequential till time immemorial or till sun decides to kaput us!

[StevieM]

[Laf.La.Dem.]

31. WOW -WOW - WOW

[CincyDem]

32. Only 30.3 posts PER DAY on average...EVERY DAY...since you joined. F'ing Rock Star !!!

Thanks.



:I_bow_down_at_the_feet_of_awesome_commitment: <--- why isn't there an emoji for that, eh ?

[MineralMan]

35. The vast majority of those posts were replies to what some other DUer

wrote. Thanks for doing the math. It's not really so many posts per day. Most take just a few seconds to make. Only the original thread-starters take much time. I probably average one or two of those per day, over that time.

[CincyDem]

39. I know - but I'm not going to let you off the hook that easily.

Sure...some (many) of your posts are great OPs that start important conversations. Some maybe not so important.

But all those responses that take just a few seconds, it's not about the time (IMHO), it's about the commitment to be present and participating. Rain or shine, feeling good or under the weather...being present is a real contribution and, if I can say this without being weird, an inspiration. Those simple responses tell people they were heard and that is the ultimate compliment.

I read here daily and you're always stirring chit (that's a compliment, ya know) in one place or another with those little few second responses. One of the many folks that give this place come character and encourages participation so, again, thanks.

[asiliveandbreathe]

33. Congrats MM - always enjoy your musings - I don't see myself evah getting to 100,000..

OOFA - (Italian for uff da)

[snooper2]

34. Now that this job is complete you can clean the fridge out...

Oh, and also pull it out from the wall and clean back there. You realize there is a full inch of crud back there right? LOL

[MineralMan]

36. Hmm. I wish I had done that. Instead, after my 100,000th post,

I cleaned out two jumbo-sized cat litter boxes in the laundry/furnace room. This was one of the major cleanings, so it involved taking about 40 pounds of stinky, damp litter up the basement stairs and out to the garbage can. The refrigerator would have been a piece of cake.

And so life goes, eh?

[sarge43]

37. Wamt more days like this? Then, GOTV! n/t
