omg I am near 10,000 posts

[JohnKleeb]

Holy shit! OMFG :)
will be there before you know it.

[Rhiannon12866]

1. You made me laugh, JohnKleeb!

Yes, you will be there before you know it. If I can do it, surely you can. Just don't put pressure on yourself. I only post when I have something to say, like telling you not to put pressure on yourself. Look for posts where you have something to say, which won't be difficult for you. I will be looking for your 1000th. I'm sure you will make it something special. How about a poll? LOL!:7

2. hmmm what could it be

I dont know Rhi, I could just pass it and not remember, that said Rhi, Dennis Kucinich is gonna get a birthday thread in his honor by me come October.

7. Old navy saying that seems to fit......

Opinions are like ass holes every one has one. Sorry to be crude. Please do not leave us.

[VOX]

3. Keep posting, JK...

You don't have long to go!

:toast:

[JohnKleeb]

4. almost there rez

BTW I finally saw Kucinich on the daily show, really explains a lot why I support him, hes smart on the issues and he can be very witty. Yes I think Donald Rumsfeld is a robot :) whats not to love about that guy.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. You will defiantly make it JohnKleeb, before you return to school

I will be looking for it:-)

Was Dennis Kucinich on The Daily Show? I am so sorry I missed this as I really like that show when they have political guests, all too infrequently. Gephardt was on fire on that show! I will look for video of Kucinich! Thanks!:7

[JohnKleeb]

6. yes he was

Go to comedy central and I will check out Gep. Ok I just saw Dick and I was impressed, I knew he was a great guy. My pm is more detailed but I tell you this, I think Gephardt is easily my first or second pick after Kucinich. I do like Dean and I am proud what his campaign has done but on economics we're poles apart and thats why I like Kucinich above all, Gephardt has the second most sound view on that, Kerry is all around liberal, Edwards has taken on corporate power before and hes a populist, as I said I mentioned the reason I dont support Dean at the moment but I will do as Teddy K did offer him my respect and praise.

8. What I want to know, young man,

is why aren't you doing your homework? :7

Has school started yet for you? It has for my kids, although it doesn't seem to have put much of a dent in my own 16 year old's computer time.

Here's one middle aged mom who appreciates having you on the board.

Keep on posting, JohnKleeb!

[JohnKleeb]

10. n'yet after labor day

Thanks though
Even if school did start the only homework I would have would
be getting stuff signed and personalsm, how I dread them ;) you get used to it, I'll explain later. I will be back in the late afternoon.

9. Congrats, JohnKleeb!

I have about 1/5 of your posts... It's going to take me at least 7 months till I reach 10000.

[LeftCoast]

11. Congrats John!

You going to be a Sr this year?

:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

12. I wish man Junior thats what I am gonna be

I am the baby of the juniors at DU.

[dofus]

13. My 16 year old is likewise a junior this year.

And it's the year of the Great College Search. I've been thinking hard about what kinds of schools to encourage him to go to. I want a generally liberal atmosphere. I'd rather that fraternities and sororities not be very important. And I want the classes to be taught by real professors, not TA's, which means one of the small liberal arts colleges, so no grad students.

Have you done any thinking about this yourself?

[JohnKleeb]

17. I am not sure

Geography is actually one of the things I consider important. That said grade wise and classes wise I am not as smart as the others my age here, most of you all are in AP classes :) I wish I could but I dont care, now for schools thats a tough one. I would love to go some where exotic with a nice program, University of Hawaii :) heh, I liked this one place called bridgewater because they had a criminal justice program I liked but I dont know what I want to be anymore so its tough, this place was in between Boston and Providence and I have always wanted to go to New England.

[proud patriot]

14. Right On

:bounce:

[AquariDem]

15. Yay! But I wish DU would show

the exact count next to your name once you got past 1000, like it used to.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. OMG, that is incredible, JohnKleeb!

I am very impressed! You have been busy. I am no longer impressed by my measly 3000.:-(

[Breezy du Nord]

18. Bravo!

Keep at it, old boy!

Your lowly freshman compatriot,

Breezy

[JohnKleeb]

19. thanks I was like holy

Probably got a lot of em through short brief posts but its worth it. Good luck in high school, youre gonna have fun.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. BTW, JohnKleeb,

This is a much better photo of Dennis than the previous one. He looks more statesman-like. Is everyone taking Will Pitt's advice? I know he was flamed for this, but don't think he deserved it. He may have Kerry as his first choice, but he has said he is an admirer of Dennis Kucinich.:-)

[JohnKleeb]

21. They replaced it Rhi

at his main site and I like it better. On Will's advice, Ive told you that I like Kerry. I am for Kucinich right now, but I could either go Gephardt or Kerry if he backs out and I hope he doesnt :). I think Will was right about Kerry, DUers well staunch Dean supporters dont give him enough credit at times I think, plus Kerry is more liberal all around than Dean, and I like Kerry too. Also Rhi call me John or Kleeb its much more informal that way, thanks. Also heh it should be us Kucinich supporters who would hold Kerry in the most comtempt for his war vote but I am a defender of him and Gephardt.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Okay, John it is. That was my dad's and Irish grandfather's name

A very good name.:-)

I told you that I saw Kerry deliver a great speech to the VFW last week on C-Span. I just looked again, but it is still not yet available on their site. I decided then that I could support him, but still prefer Kucinich or Gephardt.:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

25. they are the best 3 in my book

John is my Slovene American Grandfather's name, my late uncle wait a sec I have 2 or 3 late uncles named John. Ok thanks Rhi, you can call me Kleeb too but John is fine I prefer to be informal. Thanks :) Your Grandfather from the blarney himself? Thats a great country.

[JohnKleeb]

[Booberdawg]

22. John your post count went backwards???

When I checked it earlier today you were only 5 away? Now you are a couple hundred away? WTF???

[JohnKleeb]

23. WTF

is right
:wtf: when I checked it last night I was around 400. totally bizzare. I am a few hundred away expect it to be big with all kinds of things. heh chances are it will be a thank you to everyone at DU who has been respectful to me and all and a thank you to Dennis Kucinich too.

[Booberdawg]

27. What are you talking about "400"???

when I checked earlier today it was 9,995. That was SEVERAL hours ago. Now it's in the 9,700's. How did THAT happen.

Are you drinking??

[JohnKleeb]

28. No I am not drinking :)

Weird perhaps I should ask. Are you drinking? :evilgrin: Boober thanks for starting that nice thread on all the young DUers.

[Booberdawg]

29. It's BOOBER! silly!

Everybody get's it mispelled!

You are quite welcome on the youngin's thread.:D

[JohnKleeb]

30. typo

my bad.
corrected
I didnt wanna call you boob because that wouldnt sound right.

[Booberdawg]

31. LOL! I understand. ;)

But BOOB is a term of endearment to me. You prolly already know Boober is my faithful pooch. He's jus' a Boobie dawg anyway - he's jus' a baby.:loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

32. heh :)

No I didnt know that boober was your dog :).

[Booberdawg]

33. Ahh then... wanna see my boobie?? ;)

[Rhiannon12866]

34. What a sweetheart! Such a cute thing!

Thanks for sharing your boobie with us!:D

[Booberdawg]

35. He's jus' a baby!

Awww, thanks Rhiannon. I jus' luv im! He's my spoiled rotten Boobie!

HE has trained ME soooo well! *sigh*

[Booberdawg]

37. Actually he was sick in that picture!

I should take another one.

He had a reaction to an allergy med (so I found out later) and had whacked out on drinking water several bowls in a couple hours. Barfed all over the place! When I got up I blamed it on one of the cats. Boobie scared the CRAP outta me! First time in 10 years he's ever been sick. Vet explained to me what it was. Tha pic is after things were finally settling down. He was pitiful - LOL!

TMI - Too much information - sorry.... Gotta get a new pic of my Boobie....

[seeker4ever]

36. How long did that take?
