Three Bags grows a fifth digit!

C'mon, troop. Step smartly over that digital threshhold and join the rest of us loosers.

We'll get slappy to pin your looserdom wings on your epaulets.

And congratulations.

 

Although I knew I was approaching 10K, I had not intended to mark the occasion. But I woke up this morning and saw this thread, I realized I stopped one short. So, why not?

The only thing I’d like to do with number 10K is try to right a wrong. A wrong I shouldn’t have to right, because I should have kept my mouth shut, or my fingers still in this case.

A couple months back, I made a comment here that I should not have made. I said a joke about 9/11 was funny. I’ll admit, I got a chuckle out of the joke, no matter how tasteless it was.

But that wasn’t the offending, foot-in-mouth gaffe. I can’t remember if it was the same thread, or a few later, but I said I was “over it,” referring to 9/11. What a terrible thing to say, regardless if it was how I really felt. How I feel about 9/11 is really complicated, but I'm certainly not "over it" in the way it came out. And it obviously offended some folks – most certainly more than I know. And for that, I’m truly sorry. Not one of those “OK, ha ha, I’m sorry” I’m sorrys. A from-the-bottom-of-my-heart apology.

I’d particularly like to publicly apologize to BYH and spnited, who seemed the most upset about it – and they let me know it, through PMs and a few verbal lashings.

I deserved it. Every bit of it. And if I deserve more, bring it on.

And now I'll go back to making worthless posts and fade into relative sj obscurity.

 

A class act.

 

With TBF there, it makes 42 of us with 10,000-plus posts. What's the new 10,000? You know, something for the "less experienced" -- for lack of better words -- to reach.

 

25,000. Which should take you a good solid hour of posting at this rate.

Congrats three_bags_full!

 

By Dec. 31. That's my goal. Not counting the 14 posts I've made today, I need to average exactly 30 posts a day to reach that. Take into count the four full days I won't be in front of the computer, it's 36.67. It will get done.

 

Welcome to our club.
Our chairman will now present you with this award...

 

Ah, get over it, you 10K looser.
We did.

 

I hope so. That one's been eating at me.

 

You've been pardoned by S-P, TBF, take a bow.

Then take another one for No. 10,000. Welcome to the club.

 

For the girls

 

So, each bag now holds about 3,335 posts, give or take?
