I'm still a bit surprised that I made it this far. When I came back to Jul last September, I didn't think that I'd stay here for long at all. I've never hit 10000 on any other board, and even if you add my I1, I2, I3, and board2 posts together, you only get around 7200 posts.

It's been a blast. It really has. I've made so many friends here I know I keep saying this, but it's true. I love Jul.

Here's to 10000 more posts
