When does one get another star or become a Sr. Poster?

But, you know, changing God to Matriach (or Master, depending on the sex of the poster) is an idea...

I like Goddess, but that's just me.

The opposite of Matriarch is Patriarch, Pepe. Use of the term "Master" on the other hand,.....well....that's a whole different topic, isn't it?....especially if it depends on the sex of the poster? 

[Gothick]

Pooh.  I'd rather be a Matriarch than a Master.  Ah well.  I have decided that the title Physician to the Vampire (Grayson's description of her role on DS, used in selected playbill listings of the early 70s) would suit so much better.

Actually, all of this was discussed on the forum sometime back last March. If you do a search, you might find a very close estimate (within +/- 54) of how many posts it takes. (Or you might ask Luciaphil because her guess was what won her custom title. But I suppose there might not be a guarantee a year later that she even remembers her guess. If she's anything like me, she probably doesn't because I barely remember half of what I did last week, much less last year! )

It had to do with math. I remember that much. The magic number now escapes me (I did find those missing car keys though). There's a mathematical principle/formula that I found doing a search somewhere and somehow managed to calculate.

That's all I remember.

Unfortunately, it was DS that paired those terms.  Liz was the matriarch of Collinwood, and various Collins men over the centuries set their sights on becoming its master.


Luciaphil's calculations came up for me in several different attempts.  You just have to be a little creative in narrowing down your search (I discovered she uses the word god a lot, as in "Oh God", "godawful", "what in the name of God were they thinking?"... ) but don't ignore the Max Age setting.

oh.......were we still talking about  them?   

 snort!

I'd rather be a Matriarch than a Master.

Me too.

Drowning in Widows weeds,

WHAT are Widows weeds??  I have the lyrics, "sewing lace on widows weeds, and filigree on leaf and vine" drifting through my head.

Can we give a portion of our number of posts to someone else?  Over 900 posts is rather unseemly.  I couldn't POSSIBLY have had that much to say.

PS  Are there retirement benefits after one hits a certain number??

You didn't, believe me.


P.S.-- By the way, can a person's curse count be somehow related to their matriarchal heritage? (One can't help one's ancestry).

What can I say? DS often causes me to invoke the name of a deity 

Widow's weeds are mourning clothes.  Here more than you ever wanted to know:

Why, yes - you'll get locked in the tower room, where you'll have the "benefit" of being waited on by one of the Collins servants. After all, isn't that the fate of the senior members of the family?

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Pooh.  I'd rather be a Matriarch than a Master.

Well, I suppose some exceptions could be made.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

oh.......were we still talking about  them?   

Considering that the term Gothick used and upon which I was remarking was "Matriarch of Collinwood," one would suspect that would have been obvious.

In future, please try to keep track of the context...

AW......isn't she precious?

Hell, why not!  Won't be any different than my life now.  Hey, I'd like to be waited on by Edward the Butler - he's great.  And as long as I can have occasional visits from Pansy (just girl talk), and Quentin of course, I'm fine.

What number do you have to hit for retirement benefits?

Eh... Don't know about you, Rainey, but I lost track of all context YEARS ago.  LOL

Thanks for the info, Luciaphil.  I'll check out the link.

When did some people's (not everyone's, don't think Midnite's changed) star colors change?
