Well...
... I couldn't just stop on my "lucky" 13th post of the day... in spite of the lingering in the shadow of my fuming spouse. It's not even MY fault they drew on the cars' ceiling. When I'm driving I am LOOKING at the road (as I should) and my rear view mirror does not quite cover the areas directly above them. Oh, and she's upset I left all the damp swimsuits from yesterdays' swimming in the trunk. I thought... so what? It's a nice warm day and they'll dry there.. right? OK... maybe NOT! And then there's that darn FLY that snuk in (behind me?) that's driving her nuts. Er, rather it's the SPOUSE (me?) driving her nuts. So if she wanders by anytime soon then I'll HAVE to make a hasty escape.
SO - for the taboo breaking 14th posting I wanted to call all LURKING DIS enthusiasts to please step forward....!!!!
Warning... MATH ALERT in Progress!
We need to mobilize and organize to achieve 20,000 before embarkation. How many of you knew we made it from 10,000 to 15,000 in 17 days without really TRYING? How many of you (yes I might mean YOU) contributed more then 20 posts in the past 19 or 20 day?. That's only ONE a DAY! Why, just yesterday I counted my contributions and got up to
72. So why can't we get a dozen or two from you? They don't have to be wind-bag dissertations like some (OK ~ most) of mine.
So... please step out of the "lurking shadows" and post a cautious remark. We don't bite...
or rather, most of us do not bite HARD. We got just about 2 weeks and it's a fine time to get to know one another a little more. And in so doing we'll easily pull off 5,000 more postings in under 17 days
with YOUR HELP - because to get to 20,000 we have have (deliberate dramtic stutter) to do it in 14. AND if enough of us get involved then we might have a crack at 25,000!
Here are the numbers <BUZZZ!> MATH ALERT!.
So... we need 4,600 in 14 days = about 328 a day. With
25 DIS enthusiasts posting 13 a day = 325 daily. And if we mobilized
35 DIS enthusiasts then we'd only need an average of 9.4 a day! I might add though that for us to be on track for 25,000 then we need 25 DIS folks to post 26 a day or.... 35 DIS folks to post 19 a day.
So the magic number to aim for is 13-19 posts a day. This is my 14th for the day and I will maintain my 19 a day pace (hopefully). This makes it POSSIBLE for us to attain 25,000. We have HOW MANY attending the PJ party? Was it 117 people? If only we had about half or one third of the folks attending the PJ party posting 13-19 a day then we might have a shot of achieving thelofty (and might I add - pointless) sum of 25,000 postings to the thread.
Please support YOUR community and post now - post frequently - and try to post politely on topic (or something suitably silly or NEAR a topic from the last 500 contributions!). Ask not what your DIS community can do for YOU - rather what YOU can do for your DIS community (here).
It looked like one of our cats and we think she is pretty special so I picked it. 
Just love September in FL!I have gone to Wine parties before where EVERYONE brought a bottle and a lot went to waste. I was just thinking that I would bring the CB's and maybe some peanut brittle. Is anyone bringing REGULAR drinks, re: water, diet drinks, cokes- we could handle this if needed? I know Kev doesn't really drink a lot (unless it's Corona
) and might just try a little here and there. And with CC's kids coming I was thiking maybe we could pick up some kiddie drinks. Any thought Scott and Lynn? We are driving down in the pickup and could pack a cooler if needed. Let us know...
We won't see him now for at least a month. 
I know he'll have fun at Grandma's house, but I'll miss him. Back to the yard work now. Gotta get it all done before the Badgers play at 6pm Central (thanks Bob!)
