    I joined Gardenstew in July, 2005 and I just noticed that I finally posted 5,000 posts. It only took me six years and two months. I guess you can't call me a blabber mouth.

    A rough estimate is a post every 7.4 hours for 6.25 years. This assumes that you do not post while you are sleeping.:)

    I'm more amazed that it's 6 years and 2 months :eek: Just where does the time go?

    Congrats Dooley! We love having you here.

    Dooley, I've read every one of your 5000 posts, and enjoyed each, except for #3,729. :D
    Really, your posts are always interesting, so keep it up and head for #10,000. Congratulations on being a good Stewie!

    Frank, you're too good at this! Is there an award for "Super Webmaster"?

    Eileen, I didn't mean to imply that people with lots of posts were blabber mouths. I may have blabber eyes because I do indeed read a lot more posts than I make. If I'm to make 10,000 I'll have to start posting a lot more than a post every 7.4 hours. I don't post in my sleep though.
    Super turtle? I like that.

    What a thrill it was to read your posting. I sort of loose track of time myself.
    I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to your coming 5,000. I reckon that they will be just as good as these past ones.

    I like your posts ANNNNND I like your garden aprons. I use thye one that you sent every year and show it off to fellow gardners when they come by as I am harvesting. It's so handy. Thanks again.

    I am very happy that you are here, Dooley.

    Congrats Dooley on reaching 5000 posts. I have some way to go to match that but I too must admit to reading more than posting, must start blabbering a bit more :D
