I have chosen to post number 700 here because these forums have really been a great help for me over the years. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have had some very bad times with it in the past. One of the things that has helped me through the tough times was being able to get on line when ever I couldn't sleep or was in so much pain I could hardly walk and read the posts and "talk" with some of the best people anywhere. This forum has lifted my spirits dozens of times over and I thank you all for that.

Lighthouses and Harbour Lights, along with the prayers of many people around the country, have helped me make much prograss with this devastating illness. I Thank you all for just being you. We may never know how many others have been touch by the kindness and generosity of all you Wackos, Saints, Crusie Directors and Newbies.

This is indeed the best site on the internet. I look forward to meeting many of you in Rosemont.

Congratulations on #700, Dale!

Your input to the forums over those years has been appreciated. You've been both a giver and recipient of prayers.

We've enjoyed your 'weather reports' from the colder climes of Arizona and shared in your move to the Valley.

Thanks for being a part of this community, friend.

The FATF is proud you choose here for your 700th post - oops I almost said 700 club.

Tis true, this is a virtual safe harbor - lighthouses among the cyberclouds. Your participation helps make the forums what they are. Here's to the next 700!

Dale congrats on 700 and thank you for the lighthouse collector's education you have given us all through your posts. I have another friend with the same painful condition. When I think of the day to day fight she wages to carry out normal activities it renews my faith in the strength of the human spirit to prevail. You are in our prayers and please make it 700 more posts, at least.
