Retirement

You CAN'T retire! :shock: I lool for your beautiful photos every day first thing and your wit can't be topped! (Well maybe sometimes by RO and LL, but only sometimes!)

And there's a typo just waiting to be corrected.....LOOK. Not lool!

(Sorry RO, had to be said)

But, a nice knit hat is hard to come by :clap_1:

Wat?

Please don't do it! How would I survive the winter without those great photos???

SJ,

Some people just start new accounts with new names. I think we'd guess you right off though -- unless you got slick about it! ;-)

You say "should I?" retire but COULD you retire? :scratch: I don't think so!

What do you know? I could quit any time I want to. I promise. What? You think I have an addiction problem? Come on, get for real. Seriously, I could just up and stop. Anytime. Really, I can. What, you don't believe me? It is true. I can do it. ;-)

I think I will go carve a pumpkin now.

Will it be shaped like a cap?

Give it a smiley face!

I will wing it like I was knitting a hat, no plans or patterns. Just pure fun. Bye.

Nope, don't retire, SJ. Your posts are great and we'd miss you. Maybe we could all take up knitting and just knit at the beach together during sunsets (I learned how to knit from my grandmother when I was very young and can still knit a nice scarf without even looking at the needles so I could actually watch the sunset -- the mittens come out strange when I don't watch what I'm doing, though).

Nope, don't retire - your "information" is always helpful, and sometimes helps us to consider what should be obvious... ;-)

?...what do you consider to be "blah, blah, blah"?

Well, as I near 5000 posts, I am thinking about retirement to silence for a while to balance out all of the , , . What do you think? Should I?

You know how to get people talking!

Now that you know how many people would miss you, how can you even think that silly thought? Your input and pictures are too great for you to retire!!!!

I'll chime in ... take a break if you must but don't stay away for good. You are a big part of the soul of this board. :clap_1: :clap_1:

this board will be as quiet as the real estate market if you flame out now.

I think SJ is just bluffing. From the responses to this post, he is getting a major ego boost right now . Only a fool would bow out now when he is such a local celebrity. Heck, he could start his own cult and have hundreds of loyal supporters. Come to think of it, what do we REALLY know about the man who calls himself Smilig JOe? What does that capitalized "O" mean?

If worse comes to worse, Kurt can just start paying SJ to make a daily visit to SoWal.com. If SJ had $5 for every post he's made, he'd be $25,000 richer right now!!

I think SJ likes messing with our minds. Capital "O" or just a lowercase "e". Barcode under his signature or just a bunch of jibberish.

The reason I signed onto the board was to be able to view your Beautiful photos. Now that I am hooked you cannot just leave because you have 5000 post. What are we who are hooked supposed to do? Know you are a giving person because all the things you do for others. So whatever your reason for wanting to retire cannot be as important as your many friends on the board who depend on you. What can we do to change your mind? Let us know we'll make it happen!! SJ, we welcome your 5001 post because we you and think you are also :funn: and whatever the smilie for Wise would be.

Maybe he's such a celeb now that he's attracting a (I KNOW this won't be spelled right :roll: ) poparotsie and wants his privacy back

Hope I didn't get you in trouble

Did SJ leave town? I think he started this thread and is ROLFing at us somewhere! Maybe he thought we needed a topic.
