Janice: Your 15,000th post was exceptional.

Your thoughtful mention of the various folks who have made your stay here meaningful brought tears to my eyes.

No, wait a minute ... that's trite.

Well, OK. Maybe it gave me reason to chuckle.

I especially liked your tribute to Alan Greenspan.

[raise glass for a toast]

Here's to another 15,000 posts. May they be as fruitful as the first 15,000.

Affectionately,

TED

Much more worthy of note than the simple fact that you have posted 15,000 messages is the fact that you managed to create them on that sad excuse for a computer that you still have.

A Magnificent Feat Given The Circumstances.

Janice,

Congratulations! And from an only occasional poster, it was very "cool" of you to dedicate the post to MForthright, for starting this thread. I learn a lot from lurking over your posts.

Congratulations Janice. And by the way I still think you are a liar.

I have just opened a bottle of champagne and want to offer a toast to many more entertaining and educational posts from you dear Janice.

Cheers Jessie.

Ciao bella.

Bravo mademoiselle.

J! J! J! LOOK!!!
I have borrowed Rambi's Uzi---I'm sure she won't mind--- and having now consumed several glasses of Chardonnay in your honor, am prepared to execute a 21 gun salute with -yes!-one gun! Wait--which end goes out? What do I pull? Is this it? Oh-gee-sorry TED- oh-
wow--
um-- did you know they could fire that fast?
Well-anyway-after the police leave and if there's anyone left alive, I brought a case of Dom Perignon-oh-gosh-it seems to have suffered a slight---leak....
Well-anyway, Happy 15000, J. And many more.

Janice!

My hearty congrats to you on this your 15,000th SI post! I'm still trying to find one you made on Rambi a little over a year ago, the one in which you became indelibly etched in the hearts and minds of the your adoring fan club at SI as a domestic maven par excellance. I loved that one, I did!

They're kidding, though, aren't they? You're not really running in 2 megs of memory with a 40-meg hard drive, are you? The 486 and 14.4 modem I can readily believe, however. But then, I believed Clinton when he said he didn't inhale. I must say that the doorbell transformer and steam iron are nice and appropriate touches, serving to underline your creative use of small appliances.

Can anyone thing of a good synonym for "appropriate?" We need one--desperately!

Holly

Congratulations, Mrs. Shell. It's been a real pleasure watching your exploits. May you never change! I'll go unscrew the cap and make a T-Bird toast to your tenaciousness.

Every time I read the latest hyperbole on CASHCO, I always think of you. Those were some good times...

Congrats to you Janits <g>.

I can only regret that we should be now celebrating the wit and wisdom of your 20,000th post had you not received that unfortunate four-day suspension some months ago. <vbg>

Alas, you are a genuine tiger and I definitely look forward to that 20,000th! And more.

With great affection and regards,

Zlot!

btw, if you ever decide to create your own web site please let me in on the IPO - the traffic would be incredible. La Shell as web portal, I like that. Just think of the advertising possibilities! $1 billion in market cap in no time.
