26. Oops, I didn't know I was supposed to speed through the 700s.

Thank you John Conyers for giving me a busy day on which to do it. It's embarrassing how many posts I've added in the last two days.

[Abelman]

3. I can only answer for me

Because it makes me feel important. It also helps you get questions (hopefully) accross the board, thus forming conversations and getting to know other posters.

[momzno1]

4. cool Abelman, congrats on hitting 1000

[Abelman]

5. Why thank you

I don't post as often as I could. I'm surprised I made it.

[McKenzie]

6. what is the air velocity of an unladen swallow?

I asked that before when someone hit 1K...hope no-one notices...

Anyway, for an extra 10 points, where does that line come from?

[yvr girl]

11. I believe you asked me that question

I guessed, but I was WRONG.

[McKenzie]

15. be thankful you were rong...

it shows that you are either:

1. Too young to know about such BOF stuff, or;

2. You don't retain such inane trivia in your head because it's probably full of more important stuff.

[democracy eh]

9. I hope it doesn't happen to me

Don't you just love Demopedia?

[Abelman]

22. Yes

Yes I do.

[yvr girl]

10. Did you ever post ...well you know...exposed to the elements?

[Abelman]

23. Nope

I am on the forum in an office type setting which discourages nudity.

[huskerlaw]

13. What's your favorite TV show?

I'm trying to get to 200 today :)

[Abelman]

24. Arrested Development

Classic humor.

[bigwillq]

18. Congrats on 1,000 posts!

A job well done!

[Abelman]

25. Thank you thank you

I hope to be accepted as a regular, soon. Though I generally stick to the lounge for posting.

GD scares me. All the gloom and doom posts and the flamewars.

[bigwillq]

30. I'm a lounge lizard myself

You'll always be accepted there!:hi:

[Abelman]

33. True

The lounge is where the proverbial "action" is.

[Dzimbowicz]

28. Where in the heck is Galena, Alaska?

:hi:

[Abelman]

31. On the Yukon river

Left of the middle of nowhere. The middle area of Alaska. It has an airport, so you can find it on maps usually.

[Dzimbowicz]

34. Are you a native Alaskan

or did you move there from somewhere else?

[Abelman]

35. I moved here

As a youth in Michigan, I had always wanted to move to Alaska. Now, I can't wait to move back:)

It's the job mostly, and I'm not good at meeting new people. But it has been a great experience overall.

[Dzimbowicz]

42. I am from the deep south

and I have always been fascinated with extreme northern regions, especially the terrain and how it has been influenced by weather, etc. In North America I have spent some time in Maine, then later on I visited the Maritime Provinces of Canada. However, in Europe, I have been to the northernmost city on the continent (Hammerfest, Norway) which is about 175 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
Owing to my fascination with northern extremes, I was an avid fan of Northern Exposure. If you know of the program, does central Alaska look like what was on the show?

The only other "location extreme" I have had in my life was when I was a Marine. "Join the Navy and see the world..." goes the old saying. Well, I found out that the Marines went with them. Once, in the vicinity of Singapore our ship crossed the equator. Being at sea within five degrees north or south of the equator has a strange feeling. It must come from the magnetic pull, but one can physically sense being there. There is no wind or breeze, just that caused by the movement of the ship. The ocean is as still and shiny as glass with only the wake of the ship to disturb it. The whole experience was really weird. Because of this, I am now a member of the Fraternal Order of Shellbacks, a nautical club known for its raucous nature. BTW, it was the Marines which took me to Norway, once again by ship. Because of this (crossing the Arctic Circle at sea), I also belong to a nautical fraternity called the "blue-nosers" as well.

Thank you for answering my questions. Central Alaska must be an interesting place to be.

29. i did the same thing with 2000!

way to go!

[Abelman]

32. Y2K

I hope at 2000 posts your computer didn't crash and implode from nuclear systems running on old software!

[Cadence]

36. Well done my friend!

I knew you could do it! :thumbsup:

[Abelman]

37. The faith of friends spurned me forward:)

You are soon in the 700 club, yourself! It will be a whirlwind of fun and excitement!

[Cadence]

38. I know....and I'm a slow poster.

It might be a loooong ride.

[Abelman]

39. Once you hit 700

You just go and go and go, post everywhere you can even if your posts are inane.

[Cadence]

40. I've tried that and it's hard to do!

I can't think up enough things to say! Saw your picture in the gallery btw...it's cuter than the one where that guy was holding you.
:D

[Abelman]

43. thx

It's easy! You just shrug off all your decency and say anything that comes to mind no matter the topic.

Ask Me Anything threads work well, too.

[shesemsmom]

41. How was it.....

did it feel good? lol

[Abelman]

44. I didn't notice

I was at 1005 probably by the time I saw.

It was like my 22nd birthday. I forgot.
