1000 posts (or "NO, I really don't have a life. How kind of you to notice.")

So...

I am approaching the 1000 posts mark ..

And a question or two occur to me ..

Should I try for something really profound that will be forgotten immediately...Or the usual mindless drivel that I post..That is also pretty much forgotten immediately.

There also, is the matter of the all important line of text that I will then be able to place with my AV....

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Two more to go and what you post should be and is up to you. I have a feeling not everyone considers it "mindless drivel". *L

You think you don't have a life, look at how many posts I have and I lost my first guru name with the PM program quit working and had to start alll over again. *L

 

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

Awwwwwwwwww... Congratulations!!

You must have a life. Some people are here for only a few months and can rack up a few thousand posts.

Put in there anything you want.

I don't even remember what I put in there. Obviously, it was something forgettable!

 

[Vixandra]

Can't remember what my 1000th post was.
Remember the 3500th but only cause it was a strange subject.

Congrats btw!

Congrats!

I vote for profound. (You'll have to choose whether it's profoundly revealing, profoundly funny, profoundly insightful, profoundly stupid, etc.)

Cheers!

p.s. You think you have no life? I averaged 25 posts per day the first time I ever joined a bulletin board.

p.p.s. I'm much better now, thank you.

You do know you don't have to hold out on us, I've already came. It's ok for you to do the same.

I have no idea what my 1,000th post was. I don't think I ever bothered to take any notice. I was just glad when I got out of "virgin" status.

 

[BlueSugar]

you should have an "in honor of my 1,000 post I will _____" thread like they have on the GB lol.

as for the ever important stuff, hm... I've seen alot of people just rewrite "virgin" ... I don't know why, but its funny to see a familar AV, with a 1000+ post count with the word Virgin under their sig. Throws me off everytime. Though, for this board, "Vanilla" would be funnier.

ROFL...

Well actually..Much to the chagrin of some ladies I've known..Sometimes it just takes me a while to get there...

So, for my 1000th post, a cautionary tale.....

If you have ever had those weird feelings of impending doom..Well I have them all the time.. Sometimes I don't pay attention to them. And I ALWAYS pay for it.

Like tonight.

I was on my way home this evening. As a matter of fact I was almost completely there. When not paying attention to that feeling caught up with me.
As I came around a curve on the two lane highway that I travel, I found all the blue and yellow lights in the world.
No biggie..There had been a rockslide.
No problem... Just wait till they get it cleared and go on.
Right?
Well.....Not exactly..
It wasn't a biggie till the highway patrollman working the scene noticed that my tag had expired..*sigh* Evidently I had forgotten to renew my registration.
So I handed over assorted paperwork and got ready to recieve a non-moving violation ticket.
Pain in the ass right? But still not a major thing...
I wish...
It seems that at some point I had an outstanding traffic ticket that I, well to be honest, it was so long ago that I just plain forgot.
ANd the wonderful county of Johnson, in scenic East Bumfuck, suspended my license.
Now you would think that if they were going to do something like that, they would tell you....So would I...
So, as a matter of fact, would the law state..But while the law does so state, they didn't.
To make a long story shorter, the patrolman walked back to my car, informed me of all this, and gifted me with the wonderful new years greeting of "Do you have someone who can pick you up...So I don't have to take you to jail?".
We fortunately I did..So I am not writing this from the day room of the new county lockup.
He was nice enough to have the dispatcher call for my ride and let me pull my car off the road so I can have it picked up tomorrow. Thereby saving me a tow bill at least.
So, we stood around and shot the breeze while waiting. (Did I mention that I knew him from having sat on the Grand Jury in November..Nice guy actually)
We, or rather "he", recieved a radio call that my ride had had a tire go out about three miles from where we were.
*SIGH*
At this,he just had me grab my stuff and hop in the back of the Highway Patrol Blazer; he then drove me over to where the other car was waiting.
Arriving I found that they had a spare, but no jack, and no lug wrench. Well, we found a four way in the back of the Blazer and back to the radio he went.
(And did I mention that while this was going on the area was turning into a police convention????)
About twenty minutes later we finally got the tire changed and were on the way.
Oh..It seems that the flat was due to my ride having run over a rock or two from the rockslide that caused me to have to stop. They evidently passed the area about twenty minutes before the highway cut let loose for good.

So, three or four pink sheets of paper, and an episode of Monty Python later.. And now I have to figure out just how much I owe the state of Bumfuck to get all this fixed. Which I have to do as quickly as possible because I am in the process of changing jobs, and they all seem to want a valid DL these days.

The number promises to be depressingly large.

The moral of the story...

One: Pay attention when your back brain is trying to tell you something.

Two: On your way out this morning, or this evening, or whatever...LOOK AT YOUR TAG!

Oh EKVITKAR, that is awful......hope you get it all sorted out without too much pain to head or wallet....and hope the rest of the year including the new job, make it just a distant unpleasant memory that was out of context in an otherwise perfect year.

Well, it is cetainly one of the more egregious exhibitions of self inflicted stupidity that I have managed...Hmmm Unless you count my last spouse that is.

I figure, given everything involved, it will run me about a thousand U.S., give or take a few hundred.

 

[Netzach]

Oh man...

suck ass! Wow.

 

[catalina_francisco]

I sense another Lit Dom auction coming up....how much do you want for a reserve E?

ROFLMAO!!!

I just re-read this one...

Well, looks like I went with "Profoundly Stupid"

Though I used one of my patented stress relievers..
I got home, wrote it all down, which helps one look at things objectively. Then sat and ate peanut butter out of the jar and watched "Kill Bill" for the umpteenth time.

I'm sorry about your luck, I just wish you could have posted that reminder 15 days ago, BEFORE I got a ticket for an expired registration.
