Gracias a todos mis amigos.

How easy words come , but when they are from the heart they have to pass a lump in the throat.Answering this post has given me many "lumpy moments" .

Jenn Wilson has done a brilliant job ,I normally refrain from mentioning names but in this instance she needs our love and encouragement , 200 k is no big deal , but having a great team behind me has been the big deal .None of us here who are trying to learn would get anywhere without the monumental effort of all those stalwart members that turn up each day writing and correcting all of our posts "English word of the day " "Spanish word of day " " Picture of day " and many more , they all take time and effort.

I must also give special congratulations to all of the Spanish natives that have been here over the years correcting our feeble attempts and offering a word of praise and encouragement , without their great contribution SD would not exist .

So thank you all, I feel quite humbled by your kind words , and overawed and intimidated by the incredible poetic talent that has been unleashed on this post , I hope that you all continue in this same vein because you are all so talented .And to all the newbies here it may seem a daunting task and you may even feel like quitting , I did quit after two weeks but the top member of the day talked me into staying , I am glad that she did because it has been a fantastic and rewarding journey .Ian Hill is always telling me that I use ten words where one would be sufficient , so I shall just close with just one last phrase .

You are All Legends

Ray has reached 200k and more

That is more than 10,000 score.

His contributions keep us guessing

With him there is no messing.

Always up front and with it

His posts are always a hit.

If he were not here with us

SD life would be less delicious.

So come on every fellow member

Be a very verbose admirer.

And give our Aussie mate your best wishes

I know he will even welcome kisses.

Ray, let me be the first to say that your accomplishment is absolutely ridiculous. Ridiculously good and perseverant,, that is.

As such, you deserve a few things, which this yank is glad to provide.

Unas Thongs... .

enter image description here

.

Unos sombreros.... .

enter image description here

.

And something for when your own ropa interior is at the cleaners.

and lastly, greeting from my Spanish teacher for the weekend. I wish I could send her your way for a weekend, but alas my travel budget is depleted. (a shame, she was good at changing tires too -- viva México)

.

Seriously, enjoy mate, and congrats on the accomplishment from up above.
