If memory serves, Meryl was the one who posted the 100 000th post.

38 posts to hit that number.

507 posts to go - I now think it'll happen this weekend!

200,000
It may happen today, since it looks like we had more than 500+ yesterday. It's those folks doing the cryptoquips, I think...they are going wild!
L
-
Yes, we're all watching. I think the 200,000 landmark will happen later tonight. We should be taking bets on who will put it at 200,000. I've been elbowing Jess because if it happens during the evening, I'd bet it'd be her. :) We'll definitely give it credit on the banner so everyone keep an eye out!

And Phillip, it won't be all that long before you hit 2000!

I am going to temporarily extend the "last posts entered" on the forum home page for tonight to help us track this. Now, 50 latest messages will appear.

To help commemorate our achievement of reaching our 1,000th resident, we have a special call-in line you can use to record your message of 30 seconds or so to congratulate all of us for reaching 1,000 folks on here. I'll put these together into a special presentation, so don't worry about any "uh's" or pauses or mistakes - I'll edit them to make you sound great!
A sample message might be, "Hi this is (your screen name/name) from (location) sending my congratulations to everyone in BetterMost for reaching 1,000 residents." Then take some time to say what the community means to you, send shout-outs to the folks you see here everydays, or whatever else you want to include.
If you are going to send a message in a language other than English, can you send along a translation so we can include a transcript.
Now, the call-in line we've got is in Wyoming, and has about the most bizarre bleeps and bloops and ring sound I've ever heard. It sounds like Wyoming circa 1960s on the phone, but once my greeting starts everything is fine. I have no idea why it is doing this, but apparently the call it being routed all up and down the mountain. Just sit tight and you'll hear my greeting eventually.
The number is: (307) 224-4040
If dialing from within North America, dial 1-307-224-4040. If dialing from outside North America, dial your international access code (usually 01 or 011 - consult your directory), then 1 for North America, then 307-224-4040.

Great idea Mayor!
:D

Dreyer's... a/k/a Edy's on the East Coast (because we also have a Breyer's Ice Cream already). (Just like Hellman's mayonaise on the right, Best Foods on the left coast.)

Eight more to go! I'm glad we have a large cherry cake! Cherry cake all around when we hit 1,000!!!

This is fabulous Mayor Phil but I also see we have just hit 4500 topics....another nice round number! So many milestones....

You will discover, when you listen to the message, that Phillip has a fabulous telephone voice!
I wrote to the telco providing the service about why the thing sounds like you are calling another country, with the bleeps and weird ancient ring. We'll see what they have to say.
If you want to hear more of my voice, I deliver the BetterMost/Riverton weather forecast three times a day on Radio Two. :)

Hi susiebell
Hows life in Nottingham? I'm still spending most of my time in the other place, so I'm still a bit lost finding my way around Bettermost. I keep dipping in when I remember, so I hope you'll forgive the delay in replying to your kind, not to say effusive greeting!
I still have no least wish to 'quit' our boys, and read messages numerous times daily. the new people who find ole Brokeback are a pleasure aren't they?
I've been quite busy here in North Lincolnshire and don't seem ever to have enough time to just lounge in the sun with a book!
I've just finished Labyrinth by Kate mosse and recommend it to anyone who likes history and mystery! This book, think da Vinci Code meets ethnic cleansing. I've been fascinated by it, as an age old secret is interwoven with the fate of the Cathars in Languedoc, eight hundred years ago! I was like a rabbit petrified by a snake, it holding a horrid fascination for me.
Anyway, I've just time to get ready to go out for my nightly coupla pints, so will continue this 'memo' later
Once again, thanks for the greeting Susie
Love
Sam
:)

Wow, this sounds really good! I will have to look for it! I love labyrinths. Did you feel like a rabbit trying to get into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail??

Hi Sam,
So pleased to see you here. I've been back over to IMDb but it's an awful lonely place over there now!
I'll be off at the end of the month to one of our favourite spots ... a week in Morgan Porth and a week in Widemouth Bay ... heaven!
Enjoy your pint and pork scratchings! (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_17_2.gif)
Love Susie (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_201.gif)
Hi susieb,
thanks for the greeting from 'sunnyscunny' (it is this morning) :)
Slow to respond (sorry), I still haunt the other place; I'm wary of trying quotes and stuff here so may well get it wrong.
Hope you enjoy your time in our lovely Cornwall, I'm hoping to go down to Sue again in late October. She is a divorced neonatal nurse at Truro, and is a lovely friend. She might have been bitter after her marriage, but on the contrary she just seems full of love, and I'm honoured to call her friend. Sue particularly likes the north coast, around Padstow, and St Enadoc's church (middle of a golf course in the dunes) where John Betjeman is buried, it's a lovely area.
My heart is given very firmly to the area around Fowey, and I'm always delighted when I've driven the 360 miles to get there, and swooping down the dual carriageway to the edge of St Austell, over a succession of mini roundabouts, I can see the Gribben waymarker in the distance, on a headland. Sometimes I think it would be a good moment to expire :D as life seems then just SO good!
