Wow! To be honest, this is a bigger turnout than I expected. I am honored to have you all here for the celebration.
@Mariah Thank you so much for hosting! I have great respect for your ability to rise above your circumstances and your desire to stay well rounded in your education.
@janbb Thanks for schlepping on down to my party! And don’t worry, I’ll get plenty of bad arguments when school starts up again next week!
@longgone Flattery will get you everywhere, my dear! Thank you so much!
@Jonesn4burgers Compliments, drinks, and desserts? You can come to my parties any time!
@dxs Many thanks! And you, sir, have the excellent quality of self-awareness. Much respect!
@filmfann Thanks a lot!
@Haleth Thank you!
@zenzen Thanks! I’m glad you came back in time for my party!
@syz Thank you!
@Pachy Yep! Better keep pushing that boulder up that hill! To 30K and beyond!
@Mimishu1995 Thank you! Glad to know I’ve got the mafia on my side!
@cookieman Thanks!
@Blondesjon Thank you, sir. One of these days, I’d like to buy you a cold one (or ten) and we’ll talk about something we agree on (for about five minutes—then we can arm wrestle).
@gailcalled What to say? If I have pleased the magnificent lady of Fluther, then I can have no regrets about how I’ve spent my time here. And please give my regards to Milo.
@Buttonstc Thanks! And hey, how boring would it be if we all agreed all the time? At least we’re all learning (and I definitely learn from everyone here)!
@ZEPHYRA Thank you! I’ll do my best!
@LuckyGuy Thanks! At the end of the day, you and I are in the same business: solving problems. Different kinds of problems, to be sure, but that is at least supposed to be the point of what I do. I’ll, uh, get back to you on the other thing…
@thorninmud I have to agree with @longgone‘s “look who’s talking” here. If you get to a question before me, there’s a 99% chance my answer will start with “I agree with @thorninmud.”
@hominid Will do! I think I’ve got an answer to you about something or other half composed in a text file somewhere!
@flutherother I hereby accept your emotive outburst in the manner it was conveyed as intending. I further request that you accept my expression of gratitude in return. ;)
@chyna Thank you!
@LornaLove That’s very kind of you to say. Thanks!
@ibstubro The door to the party was hidden as a secret test of character. You pass!
@jca? You made my day! Thanks so much!
@wildpotato Thanks so much, fellow philosopher!
@tinyfaery Thank you, and I hope you know I lurve you, too! Glad I can be of service in keeping those philosophy chops of yours sharp! P.S. Thanks for getting my jokes. And knowing when I’m joking. And that I am capable of joking.
@SecondHandStoke TWENTY!!!!!!!! KAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really is a pleasure to be a part of this community with all you wonderful jellies. And thank you again—each and every one of you—for your kind words of congratulation.
