Hey Mookie, I have heard that Oprah is called "The Queen" of TV. Well, we should now be calling you "The Queen of Trains.com". Congratulations on your most recent star. Jim in Aurora (Eolafan)

Ah Marty - you have been so quiet lately - I am glad you are out there for the celebration! I have missed your "interesting" comments and putting you in the corner of the roundhouse! I chatter more than Ed, but when that man makes a statement - even the Mookie sits and listens!

I am older than my boss, have lots more time in service than my boss and if that doesn't work, I just tell him what a really nice boss he is and call him "sir". (He's x-military and loves it and just smiles and walks off. )

Besides, the Mookie is very discreet! [;)]

Congratulations on the five stars Mookie. Good going, girlfriend!!

Our #1 cat, Ginny (Virginia Chessie) tried to send her greetings. She got hold of the mouse while I was trying to scroll down the page to type this.

Keep up the good work , and let's keep these crazy guys in line![:D]

Hey, even if it isn't always about railroads, it isn't always about quantity, either. I'd say there's a greater percentage of quality in the kid's posts (speaking as her brother there) than in a lot of other folks'!

Intelligent, clever, and curious...wouldn't you want a kid sister like that?

Aww, Tom, you're just trying to run up your count so you can catch da Mook! [:D]


I am sort of guilty of this too.

I was wondering if there was something higher than 4 Gold stars. Now I know.

By the way: has Mookie ever posted anything that's actually about railroads[:)][:D][8D]? I take that back--one time she said something about air compressors or feedwater heaters or something.

Sincerely,
Daniel

P.S. After that irreverential comment of mine, I feel obligated to do the following:

Mookie is crushed! She tries to post as many questions as she can find - and believe me, she finds some strange ones! But not having the ability to put her hands on the equiptment - she needs to just kind of guess at some of the workings and ask lots of questions. Plus she has a lousy memory, so she re-asks questions.

Here's one for you - what's the 29 on Trainjunky? - age, birth year, year you will graduate from school, shoe size? Any of those? Hmmmm? You can get up off your knees now...
