Crossing A Major Milestone, Post No. 25,000 .

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi All, I would like to thank the administrators that make this such a wonderful and enjoyable forum and the
thousands of friends and some very special friends that I've made along the way for the past almost 7yrs.

I think that I may have worn out a couple keyboards and a mouse or two and even a few nails and logged
so many hours dressed in front of my computers.

This forum has really helped to understand this program that I've been for almost 69yrs. now before it was just some
magazines from the adult book stores to see how others handled this.

I have learned so many tips and tricks and I have shared so many of my own tips and tricks that I have learned over the years.

For a number of years I have always wanted to get my ears pierced but I thought that it would never happen, Well with
others that did it and my talking about it and the encouragement from the lovely ladies on the forum
I finally Got my ears pierced back in March 14 2015, I will have a full update on that shortly.

Again thanks to all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>Orchid ...... <Triple Pierced

Congratz Orchid!

I like your triple pierced smiley... now if I could just work out a clip-on one for myself...? pq

And you realise that must be your longest post since #20,000... I think you should take it easy today, give those nails a rest...

Congratulations on the milestone. I have always wanted to have my ears pierced, but my job will not allow it. Looking forward to your update.

[Cheryl James]

WOW, that is amazing. 25K makes my paltry 385, or whatever, look pretty small. And, your ears pierced, as well. You are setting the bar very, very high. If I were you, I would have an adult beverage to celebrate. Congratulations.

Wow Blue, that is a major milestone, congratulations!!

Congratulations on your 25,000 posts, but more so on your getting your ears pierced. I had mine done three or four years ago after noticing and pointing out to my wife the many seemingly "normal" males in our area and on TV who had pierced ears and "male" earrings. I had a little good natured flak from some friends. One kept harping on it so I printed up a fake gift certificate for ear piercing at the local mall and made a big deal of giving it to him at his birthday dinner in front of a bunch of people. That shut him up.

After the healing period, you can go a few days or even weeks without the earrings so if you want to take them off for a family reunion or funeral. you can.

I love the feel of long earrings dangling against my neck, but of course, these are reserved for Krisi time. It's little gold balls for Homer.

Blue Orchid, congratulations on such a milestone event. I have always looked for and welcomed one of your posts on any of my threads You're a main staple on this site with an always wisdom filled comment and sound advice. I will agree with you that this is a great site for friendship and understanding, but only because of people like you.
I celebrate your 2500 and thank you for being here.

Blue Orchid, Great milestone friend.
Hey I knew a girl that sky dived. Her first dive the chute did not open, the emergency one did but did not inflate and she hit the side of a barn and the emergency chute grabbed the peak and saved her life. They cut her down from there. I had dinner with her that night. I asked if she was ever going to do that again? She said yeah, but I will pack the chute next time. So if first you don't succeed, try try again.

Hugs, Eryn

Wow! 25,000 posts in 7 years. Hmmm . . that's like 10 posts a day. You need to get a life sweetie, or at least spend more time shoe shopping!
