1000 posts. Time flies

1000 posts in such a short space of time!

Time does indeed fly when you are having fun

Thanks to all the great people and the friends I have met.

The help I have received has been wonderful and the people so giving.

Hope to get started on another 1000!

Thanks everyone

Si

Congrats on your 1000th.

I saw that the winter storm has really shut the traffic down in parts of Europe, best of luck; we went through all that about a month ago... Two to five feet of snow the week before Christmas, knocked the hell out of retail sales
