Ok so what is everyone's prediction for the date we eclipse 2000?!?!? [banghead]

Finally! Well, now that we survived P1K (page 1000) without starting Kalmbach's server on fire, we just have to survive page 2000! Let's see, it took us about 23 month to get to page 1000, so that means we should hit page 2000 in early 2008. Here's to seeing you all here in 2008!

EVENING ALL,

Just a quicky, still need to get caught back up some.

1'st off, J Birds and doing great.

2'nd , Don't know if RT , been in or not. But, he did call here last night and said he was OK, and they were going to keep him over night. Sorry bout not posting that sooner, but that's #3 of the list

I've Been in the hospital for the last 24 hours. Started with breathing problems [ Have infazima] ; They gave me a treatment, then i couldn't quit coughing. Which started messing with my heart, so they kept me. Now i guess they think I had mild heart attack during that time.. Got a bunch of test and such for next week.

Funny part is, I never had heart problems till then

Congrads John on the 1000, enjoy the moment

I try an get back in laters

Evenin' all! Thanks for the congrats. ***, I guess a year's free drinks would be water?[(-D]

I went out, and came in through the front door, (instead of the storm cellar route I usually take) I was curious about the 20000 replies proximity. The counter read 19968. The page counter was reading 999, and here we are on 1001, so I don't know if the 20K replies has been reached, or if this makes it 19969. My guess would be 19969 because the last poster was Duke, and that's the last post here.
Ah! I see Mike has been in since, while I was watching the keyboard!
Thanks for the update on RT, I've edited out my question about him.[tup]
Sorry to hear about your heart, that's scary. We'll be praying too.[angel]
Things to do.

Howdy y'all. Dern I missed Page 1000, but at least I get to post on Page 1001. If you write 1001 backwards, it's still 1001, so Page 1001 is better than 1000 anyways, so there.[:D]

Wow, 1000 pages of the Coffee Shop...That's nuts. Who's ready for another 1000 more? Does that mean that the CS gets a yellow star now?[:D]

CONGRATS JOHN! You must be a psycho...Err...I mean...A psychic.[;)][:p][:D]

Inch: Glad to hear there is a rink around someone else in the CS.[:p] Great pictures by the way.[tup]

Trolley Rob: I used to ice skate, but I grew out of my skates and didn't bother getting another pair. I'm all for the wheels.[:D] The closest ice rink to me is almost an hour away.

Matt: Are you into star gazing? I used to do that all the time with my older brother with his telescope. It was always fun. But overtime, the telescope broke (I forgot how...), so that didn't continue. Although, I still love just staring up at the sky, looking at the stars and the large abyss that hangs above us. I may have to go look up the WWII Enigma codes, thanks. [tup][8D] And the tram is looking good.[^]

Greg: Nice truck![tup] One problem, it ain't a Ford.[;)] Dodge is cool, but I'm a Ford kind of guy. I'll be driving my Marquis for Prom this year. It looks like a mini-limo anyways. I just need to replace a side marker light, and I'll be set.[8D]

Peace y'all, I'm out.

Silver Spike if you goto you local radio shack and tell them you need a 3Volt adaptor bet they can come up with one then cut the end off and solder it to the ends on it and plug it in and your in business first try it with electric tape as sometimes it matters which wire goes where so it don't run backwards.
