400 posts in less than one week

I gotta say, WAY cooler than I expected

...how many emoticons were used. Do you you have that number available? arrrgh!

Nice job Joe and all the wonderful folks who have joined the forum. It has been a terrific week and the fourm has worked the way it was predicted, indepth converstion on religous topics.

On another note, I checked my profile and it says I don't have any friends. I've now developed a complex. :rendeer: oh deer.

I requested that you be added as a friend. So we won't feel lonely anymore. But you have to confirm the request. Or you can deny it, but then I'll add you as a foe.

I added Cradle as a foe, just for kicks.

You beat me to it. Why don't we have a rat emoticon?

BTW do NOT add people as foes, as what it does is keep their posts from showing up for you to read. Which, yes, could come in handy, but still. I had to unfoe cradle to read her semi-witty riposte. :P

You all probably already know this, but cardinals, the bird, are actually named after
cardinals, the RC prelates, because of the colors of their vestments. I always thought
it was the other way around.

Don't knock me because I'm so 8) .

driving back from lunch - there are not a lot of cardinals here, but you couldn't miss him. Very impressive!

I love your signatire--or whatever it's called. The celtic prayer.

We went to my wife's cousin's house for Thanksgiving last year, and they had a beautiful framed lithograph of the rune with a line drawing of Jesus as a traveler, and it struck a chord with me. I love how the celtic languages translate with such poetry.

Looks like a good forum indeed.

How does the "friend" thing work. Do I get an e-mail or message? I don't have anything in my in-box or profile. It isn't that big of a deal. It is funny to look at my profile, it says, "Stihl has no friends." tell me about it.

Also, I hope you didn't actually count emoticons.

and no, I didn't count the emoticons. Much as I love them. :mkey:
