100 posts -- Woohoo!
 

Last night my 2 1/2 year old daughter took a big bite of spaghetti from her fork, and some of the noodles hung outside her mouth. Rather than spitting it all over her clothes as she had previously, this time she "slurped" the remaining noodles into her mouth and ate the whole bite. "Hooray for Helina (not her real name)!" I shouted. And she celebrated her new accomplishment, too, by flinging her arms (and the fork, still laden with spaghetti sauce) into the air.

Now, I've been around for a while, of course, and I no longer get excited when I can get a bite of spaghetti into my mouth without spilling any. Nor do I expect others to be amazed by such a simple feat. But for a tender innocent babe who's not so far past her first steps, perhaps such a celebration is in order.

Did I mention, by the way, that my "number of posts" level has just achieved triple digits? Not that it's even worth mentioning, of course.

If you'll excuse me now, it's time for lunch.

Since no one else has...Congrats!! :)

Congrats Helena!

And keep on posting, there are threads about 1.000, 2.000, 5.000 and 10.000 post milestones here also... :D

Gee and I remember the 'old' days last century when getting 30 posts was a milestone. :D
Congrats

Helena Handbaskets...congratulations! And to think that you and I traded PM's and snail mail back and forth when you were still a newbie!
Hope to see you around FT for a long time to come.

Thanks, all. I'll try to keep the (Cholula-enhanced) spaghetti sauce off the walls in the future.
