How often do you see a big creature like that outside the woods, leave alone inside a mansion? It must be a rare occasion...

Sanity, brevity, accuracy, lucidity, rationality, accountability, justifiability. (And no more mini-vacations, please).

Congratulations from one big animal to another, and thanks for sharing your flair, @rarebear.

Rarebear's avatar

@Seaofclouds Thanks, but as an astronomer I’m allergic to clouds
@syz sknahT zys!
@cookieman Thanks. Oreos. Middle first
@gailcalled Who are you calling “mature?”
@Pachyderm_In_The_Room Thanks. Us big mammals need to stick together.

Rarebear's avatar

And thanks @whitenoise for hosting my 15 minutes in the sun.

Strauss's avatar

The mansion can always use the musings of such an uncommon ursiline! Congorates & Oreos!

Rarebear's avatar

@gailcalled Got it, thanks. And deleted.

ETpro's avatar

@Rarebear What an outstanding member you’ve proved to be. I am delighted to see you moving up in the Mansion. It’s a much deserved honor.

Congratulations!

Rarebear's avatar

Thanks ET. It’s people like you that keep me here.

Hawaii, thanks. I love Hawaii and go as often as I can.

Coloma's avatar

Cheers!
Take two aspirin and call me in the morning…to discuss telescopes and flu shots.
Nice to have a doctor in the mansion, just in case someone goes belly up in the hot tub after 17 glasses of champagne. :-p

Jeruba's avatar

Congratulations, @Rarebear. I truly appreciate your willingness to share expert knowledge. It has helped me, as I’m sure it has helped others.

RAREBEAR!!

It’s a happy day, indeed.

The Mouth of Kolinahr has stepped into the next floor of the mansion. You can take the room with the priest’s tunnel to the observatory

chyna's avatar

Congratulations @Rarebear! So glad you are a member here. Come on out to the pool and enjoy the party that is now in full swing just for you.

augustlan's avatar

Congratulations, Rare! I’m so glad you returned to us. Forever grateful to have you here. :)

Congrats, @Rarebear!

(love that name)

AmWiser's avatar

Congratulations. 20K Cheers \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ for moving up to the 20K Mansion.;-)

Rarebear's avatar

@longgone Thanks. The name is actually kind of random. I’m a California Golden Bears fan, and Rare rhymed with it.

@AmWiser Thanks. I am all the wiser for it.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Hey @Rarebear Congrats on the 20k! You bring a lot to the tide pool.
Thanks for being here. I’ve learned plenty.

Rarebear's avatar

@LuckyGuy I’ve been lucky to have such good online support here.

longgone's avatar

^^ Random and rhyming, I like that. Enjoy your party, random, rhyming and raving @Rarebear!

Rarebear's avatar

Thanks Longgone. Raving. I like that.

tedibear's avatar

It’s a Rarebear who shows he cares! Congratulations on your arrival at 20K. Applause! Applause!

Rarebear's avatar

Thanks @tedibear Us bears need to stick together.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Rarebear Congrats on the 20K and welcome to the mansion. Glad to see someone who still makes house calls.

Rarebear's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe Thanks. My in-laws own a place in the dacks. Love it up there.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I love it up there. Where abouts is their place?

Rarebear's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe No idea—I just went there but others drove. Some lake. I changed my avatar to a sunset pic I took there.

gailcalled's avatar

@Rarebear; I know that I always appreciate the pro bono work you do for the collective (in spite of some hassling). Can you deduct the value of the invaluable free medical advice you have provided here as some sore of tax deduction?

Rarebear's avatar

@gailcalled No, because the advice is worth what people paid for it. :-)

gailcalled's avatar

^^^ Hoist on my own *pet***d.

marinelife's avatar

I enjoy your brains, your common sense, your sense of humor, and your musicality. It is a rare collective with you as a member! Congratulations on 20K!

Rarebear's avatar

@marinelife Well, musically, what I lack in talent I make up in volume. But thanks.

gailcalled's avatar

Rare; You are finger-pickin’ good.

Rarebear's avatar

At least my nose thinks so.

gailcalled's avatar

You play banjo with your nose?

Seek's avatar

You pick your nose with your banjo?

Kardamom's avatar

@Rarebear Congratulations on your 20K!

Now, we’re taking this party outside, Under the Stars

I hired This Band to play. I hope you like ‘em.

She is in the kitchen right now, preparing a cocktail for you.

And because I know you like science, I just found This for you : )

blueiiznh's avatar

CONGRATS. I haven’t been to a party in awhile!

You ROCK!!!!

Kardamom's avatar

@blueiiznh You haven’t been anywhere on Fluther for awhile, hope you’ll visit more often : )

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Well done to an extinct and unique creature!

Seek's avatar

extinct?

Strauss's avatar

nose picks or banjo picks??

Rarebear's avatar

@Kardamom you had me at she.
@Seek_Kolinahr the California golden bear is extinct (thank goodness)
@Yetanotheruser i scratch my nose with banjo picks

Rarebear's avatar

@blueiiznh thanks. Mostly I pick not rock but that’s cool

Rarebear's avatar

@ZEPHYRA yup extinct. They once talked about reintroducing brown bears to california but that is such a bad idea in so many ways that it got shot down

whitenoise's avatar

Can somebody point me to the kitchen?

I just like to help instead of just lingering around. Really.

Kardamom's avatar

@whitenoise Come with me…

whitenoise's avatar

Thanks @Kardamom

No need to walk all the way though…
Just help me find it. You just stay here and relax. Enjoy the stars and the music.
Not everyone needs to help. Too many cooks spoil the broth. :-)

Here is a song for you @Rarebear!

Rarebear's avatar

@Dutchess_III You found me out!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh, I figured it out back on Wisdm. Just didn’t want to clue the whole world in until now. :D~

Kardamom's avatar

@Dutchess_III YOU’RE HERE! Yay! I missed you so much. Please don’t leave us again!

mazingerz88's avatar

CONGRATS-! Am I the most late to congratulate-? That makes me cool right-? LOL : )

fundevogel's avatar

Why do I always have sommuch trouble finding the party? How can it be so frickin’ hard to find a mansion? Someone has got to trim these hydrangeas cause these girls could block out the sun.

So, sorry about my tardiness. I make up for it with booze and tiny sausages.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Hey….for the future @fundevogel, if you go to their account, Auggie always posts a congrats and a link to their party in their message box, and marks it public.

Kardamom's avatar

@fundevogel Maybe we could create an App for dat.

fundevogel's avatar

@Dutchess_III Thanks for the tip!

Rarebear's avatar

@fundevogel mmmmm…Sausage…

Rarebear's avatar

@mazingerz88 Thanks Batman!

augustlan's avatar

Mmmm, booze.

Buttonstc's avatar

Sorry to be so late to the party. Occasionally RL interferes with Fluthering.

Hearty congrats to an atheist I thoroughly admire for being both inquisitive and cordial. So nice to discuss things with someone who refuses to abandon the good manners his parents taught him.

Plus its nice to have sensible medical advice when we need it.

Hearty congrats to a gentleman and a scholar. The 20K honors are well deserved.

Rarebear's avatar

Thank you Button!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Booze. Beer. Bathtub beer. Mmmmm. Saturn.

augustlan's avatar

And banjos. Don’t forget the banjos.

Rarebear's avatar

Mmmmmm banjos….

Dutchess_III's avatar

Banjos and beer and bears.

Rarebear's avatar

Go Bears!

Strauss's avatar

You can pick your banjo, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose. But can you pick your friend’s nose with a banjo?
