Thank you everyone. Think I will go to bed, it's been an exhausting day.
Oh by the way, it is now raining here in Forbes. Lightly, but every little bit helps.
Good on you Marj.. at the risk of sounding chauvinist I really would prefer to call you Mistress Marj than Master Marj so with utmost respect will leave the title out..
It's been a great pleasure sharing your thoughts and experience in this fun group; your influence has been an important part of its success.
Don't hurry with the next 10,000 .. just relax and enjoy!!
My thoughts exactly . Shouldn't you be Mistress Marj.
Oh dear that just put a horrible picture in my head lol.
Maybe Masterful One,
Oh Mighty Masterful Marj.
I'll stop now
It’s arrived! The magical moment when ‘Happy Wanderer’ has officially earned the unprecedented honour of being declared ‘The Master’ of the grey nomads forum. I would like to add my congratulations to Marj in reaching the amazing milestone of 10,000 posts. As impressive as it is, the raw statistic of 10,000 really doesn’t really do justice to the many twists, turns, highlights, lowpoints , and the tears and laughter that Happy Wanderer has shared with us all over the years with such generosity of spirit and such an obvious zest for life. Stories of the ongoing saga of Marj’s beloved ‘Myrtle’ and her experiences at Greens Lake and elsewhere has brought much pleasure to me and many, many others. Thank you so much Marj for sharing your journey so far with with us. We look forward to the road ahead and the adventures to come! As a way of celebrating this historic moment and, as a way of thanking her for her amazing contribution to the forum, we would like to ‘reward’ Happy Wanderer by sending her one of our new polo shirts embroidered with the grey nomads logo, and one of our new grey nomad baseball caps. We hope you’ll wear with pride! We’ll drop you a PM, Marj, to organise the logistics. Once again ... many, many congratulations.
Well done HW and that's a great gift from Cindy. What a fantastic forum this is. Made all the better by all the lovely members we have on here. Wear the shirt with pride. You are a great ambassador for the Grey Nomads.

Fried Rice.
Gday...
Congrats Marj - lay back and savour the euphoria of the achievement. May there be many more posts to raise the bar even higher. One would hope some of this adulation will be reflected on Myrtle as well, given her trials that have driven much of this achievement. With this honour, how could she ever let you down again.
In fact, the title of The Master is fitting. I tender the following definition of Master as evidence -
mas·ter
n.
One that has control over another or others.
One who defeats another; a victor.
One whose teachings or doctrines are accepted by followers.
An artist or performer of great and exemplary skill.
An expert:
adj.
Principal or predominant:
Highly skilled or proficient:
The title of Master is not gender specific when applied in the context of the position to which you have been advanced.
Continue to enjoy life, travels and of course Greens
PS - Cindy - I believe all forumites are delighted with the bestowing of the title The Master - quite fitting.
Cheers - John
