I Just Wanted To Say, As Silly As It Might Sound ...

... that I love all of you guys.  :)

This has been the strongest four-day posting period (> 150 posts per day) in 6.5 years.

I'll have what he's having.

This has been the strongest four-day posting period (> 150 posts per day) in 6.5 years.

FWIW, today will mark only the second time in website history (we were founded April 15, 2005) that we've had 5 straight days of 150+ posts - the other time was in January, 2006 (*)

For awhile there I didn't think we were going to make it. Thanks all, for hanging around.

(*) That said, this won't even buy me a cup of coffee, so it's a poor-man's celebration at best.

Hey, sounds like something to celebrate!-I have not contributed, due to recent political decisions, I'm afraid I'll slip into demagoguery, so I'm trying to muffle myself,cook some decent meals for the family, & look at cute kid/pet videos - http://gawker.com/little-boy-provides-adorable-potty-commentary-after-eat-1443389592

until I'm semiconscious-I'm glad it's raining...

While we're on 'as silly as it may sound', here's my other favorite-http://gawker.com/crawling-dogs-race-crawling-baby-in-internet-eradicatin-1443466044 My dogs would do this, so happily.

I know, I need to find another way to deal with this, but I'm staying home, not driving trucks to the capital

Following that second link and reading thru the comments, love this one:

No, thank YOU, for not posting those nudes of me, no matter how artistic they are.

More and more, restaurants have shown up on Page One that don't have tags. This means that they're either brand new, or are over 850 restaurants old (every restaurant on the first 17 pages is guaranteed to be tagged). So I want to thank our members for "digging up" restaurants that aren't on the front pages of all the area food blogs, and writing about them - there have been a *lot* of reviews lately of established restaurants, and nothing could make me happier.

I finally, *finally* got caught up in making Page One current, and so it is. Thank you to everyone for all they contribute to this community. I organize well, but it is you, you, you that are responsible for this website being great. This is probably the 100th time I've said it, and prepare yourselves for the next 100 because it isn't me; it's you, and I'm going to keep saying it.
