I think this is my 2000th post but I could be wrong.

 

Before posting this, my post count showed 1999 so I presume this must be my 2000th...

Two Octobers ago I had the pleasure of posting my 1000th post on the PuristsPro on the Omega Forum. So today, please allow me to have the honor of posting my 2000th post on my other home, here on the JLC Forum.

There is one slight catch though. I don't have anything new and meaningful to contribute at the moment. My mind is also preoccupied with the flooding situation in my region that it is difficult to focus on anything fun. Eventually, I decided to go deeper into the past and come up with a list of a few threads I have started on this and other PuristsPro forums instead. Please think of it as a commemorative issue!

(Photographs might have had a change of URL since the time of the post. My apology for that and please click the "Picture Summary" tool below each post to view the missing pics from the server's cache.)

Please allow me to share with you ... my first Reverso!

Okay. Finally, some decent Grande Sun Moon wrist shots.

Unfortunately, I failed to find the two posts I wrote in 2006 and 2009 when I got my Master Moon and Atmos Phases de Lune respectively. They would have made this 2000th post more relevant to the JLC Forum indeed. Let me throw in some older pics to keep things very JLC...











Thank you for having me here all these years. It's a pleasure to be among fine friends like you all and I hope to be able to contribute more as circumstances and opportunities allow.

Ruckdee

And it is your 2000th.! More important, thank you for your insightful and interesting contribution to this site. I know it's a trying time for you and your country and I hope this dreadful adversity will soon be a thing of the past and life will get back ...

This major flood has been more difficult for people in the provinces than us in the capital. The only good news is that things are stabilized and improving in some districts. We hope things will revert to a state of normalcy for most everyone in one month... 

Wow -- a toast to Ruckdee happy 2000th post

It was a great thought to do a kind of review of your milestone posts. Everyone reading this should be sure to re-read every one of them, and be reminded of your story about your relationship with your father, for example, woven into the spark of your int... 

I am most glad to see that my effort is appreciated.

Thank you for your compliment. Frankly, I really didn't know what to write for the 2000th post and I just couldn't let it pass without doing something special. I hope this was special enough. Ruckdee

The one that made masthead? Thanks for the interest.

Long ago I was told by boutique staffs that they had people came in and asked for "that big watch in the sand", in reference to this pic below. Too bad I didn't have the chance to took a better shot until April this year. The one that made masthead on the...

In one way I'm glad for their existence but in another way it is a curse also the way they drain the $$$$$. Thank you for your well wish for my country. Things are improving but not quickly enough for most affected areas. My house was almost hit by the wa...

I don't know what force attracted them all here but it did a great job. I have met very friendly members on other forums too. They may be a majority of the population. But friendly people are the population itself here. Be prepared for long, thoughtful re...
