I was considering registering under another name to seal the deal. But that would be cheating -- and surely unnecessary to boot! Come on, we just need ONE more!  Besides, I can't stay caught up on the boards now. Imagine if I had to read everything twice! 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

LOL! Well, no fair sneaking up on me while I'm sleeping! LabRat  (Just starting to do her morning trawl through....)

Hey, Rat better get those little paws flying. Not only does the board have to get only one more member for her to lose the Rat Race, but we are all waiting with Rat-baited breath for her to post Epiphany!

Well, there I thought that the member count had put on a late spurt - went up overnight from 246 to 249 - but when I checked this thread I saw that LabRat had also put on an even bigger late spurt.  So the winner is... LabRat!!!! )
Just a fly-by! *waves*

 I was so distracted with nerves over posting part two of Epiphany I never even noticed!  Just trawling and finding interesting posts.  LabRat

I was just having a quick peek at the boards before going back to researching and noticed the members had risen to 249, so had to check out LabRat's post count, and discovered it was at 250!  Loriel (who's sure it had to have been rigged to be so close! )

Well, very good try, board members. But the Rat beat us. She's good, very good! Now what shall we challenge her to do? under her Rock)

But we have 250 members now, too, so it was nearly a tie! No wonder the poll's been running 50-50! <g> PJ who knew Rat could do it
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

When will I learn? If history has taught us two things, these are they: never invade Russia... and never bet against the Rat! But I agree, it's party time!

LOL! Congrats, Labby! I happened to remember the poll and looked at the directory page. There were 250 members and 250 Rat Posts, so I had to look here to discover who won! LOL.

Cyber cider, right, Rat? In that case, perfectly safe for a diabetic, so pour me one, too Melisma (under her Rock, needing a little pick-me-up after the first day of class  )

Nope, definitely the hard stuff. Is there any other kind?

Shhh... If you don't tell my doctors on me, I'll let you in on a secret... Every once in a *very* long while I like to have a small bottle of BC fruit cider - they make the nicest pear and peach and raspberry and apple ciders with a low or slightly higher alcohol content, (I think they are low - one is .05%, the other is .7%, if memory serves - but then, I know nothing about alcoholic drinks, LOL) and when I'm home, especially if I go out to a nice restaurant that carries them, I will have one. Nice little treat, and I wish I could split a bottle with you, Rat - you deserve it EDIT: It occurs to me that this kind of cider is prolly *very* different from the kind of cider you were referring to, Labby. Knowing that cider in Britain is different from what I think most of us in North American think of as cider... But I still think you'd like it, if you don't think of it as British cider and just another interesting drink to try Melisma (raising her cybercider glass in a toast to the Rat, here under her Rock)
