    BLUE - why don't you do the honors and open the 500th page?

    Let's stand tall, proud and together.

    I'm so glad to hear that CS is still here.  I can't respond to pm's right now as I am on restriction again, but that's OK.

    Yes, I raise my glass to 500 pages.  May the next 500 be filled with friendship and good humour!

    I wanted it to be BLUE who opened page 500 - but if it can't be Blue, then Gabby Giffords returning to the House of Representatives to cast a vote - 7 months after being shot in the head - is a pretty good substitute!  Giffords got a standing ovation, and Nancy Pelosi, speaking without notes - was eloquent.  We are honored to be served by these women.  And I don't care if this is considered "political" - just seeing Gabby Giffords waving and smiling, made me cry.

    Thanks, Blue, for 500 pages of friendhship.

    Yeah us ... a girl couldn't ask for a better group of friends!  Now I'm going to splurge and ask for a Tequila Sunrise ... not a drink I normally do well with in public but this is an occasion.  A toast to good friends, good drink, good food and all good things for all of you!

    Giffords is amazing ... it makes my heart happy to see how well she has recovered.

    500 pages! Yay!

    It was quite moving to see Gabby Giffords today, no matter what one's politics are.

    Congratulations Girls!!!! I did resist posting, hoping Blue would start the 500th page.

    God, I'm good - just found a bug in the code. I just love investigating defects!!! Main thing is, that I didn't write that bit.

    I just discovered that they make Dark Chocolate Klondike bars (a slab of vanilla icecream coated on all sides by chocolate.) Do the antioxidants in the dark chocolate make this a healthy treat? Because that's what I'm eating to celebrate the life of this thread!

    Yay -- 500 pages and a vote by Gabby Giffords! I'd sure like a margarita, but light on the tequila.

    I'm on vacation, sitting in our travel trailer in a campground on Lake Barkley in KY, with a pitifully weak internet connection -- but I do have a connection.  I had to check in here tonight. Honestly, it is so peaceful without all those disruptive types dropping in.  CS, I'm glad you're reconsidering -- we do need and want you here.

    Unfortunately, it's time for bed already, so this won't be one of my usual loooooong posts.

    Congrats, everybody, and good night!

    ducky -- I'm going to get me some tart cherry juice!  and bravo to Gabby -- she's a shining example of determination in overcoming the *crap* life aimed at her.  What an inspiration!  May she continue to improve, and serve her constituents as she always intended.  A true public servant!

    Went to sleep early and missed the party ... But I'll splurge this morning with a teeeny tiiiiiny mimosa (Buck's fizz) to celebrate both our 500th page and Gabrielle Giffords' return to the House. She is an amazing, shining example of the triumph of the human spirit. And we are a fabulous example of friendship and support and good jokes. Hugs to all this morning, and calorie-free virtual cherry danish (I have had a cherry danish "thing" for some weeks now).

    'Morning all! Still on page 500? I will make this short so that more people can fit in. Slept better last night. A med timing adjusment may have helped.
