Thank you all so much!

You're funny Terry. I never even knew what those were or what they meant for the first couple of years. Like gold stars I guess.

It makes up for all the check marks I got on my report card in school. I still have one from the 5th grade that says "talks in class". That's my favorite.

That is a lot of letters to carve into a stone tablet Jay

Betcha Don't Get TWELVE 'Greenies'

Thanks everybody who posted on this thread. I really appreciate all my buddies here and got a kick out of reading your comments. Thanks also for making me feel nice about being here.

Did you really get that excited? Seriously?

Happy, yes. Excited...um...more happy.
I don't play golf but as happy and excited as if I played "Golf" before I went to work? Not THAT excited....
Seriously, ask Joey A if he thinks I was happy or not.

Of course I was happy! What the heck do you think I started this thread for?
Everythings's going so nice and smooth here. Birdies are chirping, the sky is nice and sunny, kids are playing nice and then, SCREEEEECH!! It's like an old "Batman" clip, when all of a sudden, out pops the Joker. Bam! Smash! Pow!
Carnage.

Did I really get excited...Is water wet?

After doing some tests and reading numerous independent studies - the answer is YES!

Exactly.
I'm really serious when I say this. I finished 88th out of 108 in my HS class of 1977. I had a really bad background. The only things I ever did was shoot pool and box. Lots of trouble. It is an act of GOD that I ever made it to 48.

I look at those little, seemingly insignificant green dots as meaning I'm more "civilized" now It means some of you don't mind putting up with me. And I say that humbly.

Now, I really don't want to talk about me anymore. Where's Bernie when you need him???

Oh now i get it!!!!

So that's what those little green thingies are !!! I thought those represented the amount of times you were threatened to be banned

 

[BVal]

If that were true Walt - I am sure you would be maxed out by now

In that case yours should be red, shouldn't they?

 

[Walt Frazier]

I know,I should have numbers to coincide with mine ...hahahahahahaha

Locksmith,
I don't know if you realize it or not, but you just served up a slow, hanging softball.

Here's my swing.....

Walt, if "those little green thingies" represented how many times people thought of banning you, then a movie about you could have been entitled "The Green Mile".

Terry, it takes all kinds of people to make a forum and I sure am glad you're one of them. You bring a lot of class and intelligence to this place and it sure is a happier world for us when you are in it. Take care and stay proud of your achievement. Here's to your next 11 greenies!

Beloved Queen Linda,
That was such a kind and gracious post and I'm truly flattered by your sentiments. Please rest assured that I aspire to be no higher than just a prince in your kingdom. I know the "pecking order" here, and I can most assuredly promise you that you will never have to utter the infamous words of "Et tu Terry?"

Kidding aside Linda, thanks so much for your kind comments. Being that you have more positive reps than anyone else on our forum, I treasure your words of encouragement. Thank you so much!
