It's a bit embarrassing, but then I've been a mod, a host and on MIRT, so I guess it adds up... 
and a shoutout to Rhiannon12866 for 250, 000 posts! OMG!
That deserves some:
I've been here since early 2003, unbelievable, but especially now I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be. 
Though I do miss your original sig line... 
And glad you're back. I missed you the last few days.
Congratulations Rhiannon12866!
And I appear to have hit a Milestone. I remember when I was about to hit 1000 and newyawker99 posted the Anniversaries and Milestones, so I didn't post anything for a couple of days until I could think of something special to say.
And I was a DU.2 mod and a DU.3 host before that so that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
You keep on keeping on!!
Also, way to go Rhiannon12866!
