Time to bow out for awhile
 
I'm on the cusp of ten thousand posts ...

Norm K 08-16-2022 11:27 AM

... and once there ...

Norm K 08-16-2022 11:28 AM

... I think I'm going to ...

Norm K 08-16-2022 11:29 AM

... take a break.

Maybe I'll (virtually) see y'all in a few months or so.

Mods: if you have it in your heart, please move this to PARF.

That is a lot of posts...
At least it was started a decade ago.

masraum 08-16-2022 11:41 AM

PARF! Blech!

pwd72s 08-16-2022 11:43 AM

amateur!

Bill Douglas 08-16-2022 11:46 AM

10,000 and you are talking about taking a break. "Sir! you have work to do to catch up."

:D ^ This

stomachmonkey 08-16-2022 11:49 AM

pftt, I'll start taking this seriously around when I get to 100k or so posts

stevej37 08-16-2022 11:49 AM

That's not so many...you def aren't a mega-poster.
I have almost 14K..but I joined in 2002

There are some here with 3 or 4 times that amount with less years. :D

Just remember, the colitas is a plant that grows in the desert that blooms at night, and it has this kind of pungent, almost funky smell. Help you find your way back:cool:

That's just what I was thinking. You can check out any time but you can never leave.

Good on ya - enjoy the sunshine and the respite! I wish others would do the same. I'm guessing 5 posters contribute 80% of the "content" in OT. A little diversity of thought and comment might wake the place up a little.

JacobS911 08-16-2022 01:07 PM

10,000 posts deserves another 930 in your life..You're just getting started!

Hi Norm : ]

After 20 years, when I wrote my 10,000th post recently, I got four responses!

I’m a loser. 😂

Well, not really. Getting paid a dollar a post, that was an easy $10,000 you made.

The check must be in the mail…

Bob Kontak 08-16-2022 04:51 PM

A few months Norm says.

A few is about three, right? Three months is 90 days.

90 days is a common incarceration term for myriad legal infractions.

Just sayin'. Don't want to stir up no trouble. Just hope he holds onto the soap.

Tobra 08-16-2022 05:33 PM

See you later, Norm. Behave, and if you can't behave, be careful

Rusty Heap 08-16-2022 06:05 PM

I always giggle at these "Will you miss me, when I'm gone threads.

Why would someone take a break at 10,000 posts? At 10,001 you get a set of steak knives.

Ha! I'll probably be dead before I hit the 10K mark. I've never been a major player here.

You get a watch at 25k.

I'm really looking forward to what you get at 50k!

You're close, right around the corner. We're not going to let you off/out that easy. You can't die until sometime after you hit 10k, at least!

Quality I think is more important than quantity. Marv your posts are well worth reading.:)

Steve Carlton 08-17-2022 07:38 AM

I could have accomplished in 100 posts what took me 19,000.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Steve Carlton 08-17-2022 07:40 AM

What kind of watch do I get at 25,000? I'm kind of picky about watches, and would like a nice one.

Great! I will increase my posting dramatically now.

IS300 08-17-2022 06:05 PM

He gets more responses to his bow out than I get when I need help with something... Just adding numbers when I can.....

fanaudical 08-17-2022 09:11 PM

I'm probably never to make 10k posts. Is there a participation trophy?

Steak knives? I didn't get any steak knives. Oh well I'll look forward to the watch.
