The fine sport of grubbing mightily amuses me.
When I first heard the expression several years
ago, it made me think of extracting bait from
the soil, though that is one pursuit in which
I've never indulged...:-)(Nor will I in the
foreseeable future<g>)
Grubbing can also be a subtle art, as in the
case of matching the topic to the number, etc.
Today, I have a personal grub to share, to wit,
this is my 10,000th post on SI.
mr.mark,that kind soul and S-T-P who has assisted
me often with computer technical stuff, alerted
me to this imminent grub only yesterday.
Were it not for mm, I'd have blithely wasted
it with some serious tome about an overvalued
stock or the fact that SI frequently s#cks.<g>
Instead, I took a few minutes to reflect on
grubbing. Had I more time, I probably could
have said something meaningful.:-)
I'm glad my 10,000th post happened on Valentine's
Day, too. Seems only right somehow. I've enjoyed
the last 4 years of posting on SI. I hope that
the current problems can be rectified so as to
allow a few more.
This forum has given me the chance to meet a
lot of good people, with good insights and
hearts willing to share. You don't find
that everywhere or every day.
So Happy Valentine's Day, SI'ers
and smooches all around!
