Turner's Perspective

I'm so glad I got here first.  Congratulations!  We are the lucky ones who get to read your great stuff!  YOU bring US joy!   Thanks for your contributions. 

Way to go Jeff! Congratulations! You are indeed a fine writer.

Jay 

Jeff,  Congratulations!  You've been doing a lot of inviting.  I've been using that wide angle Kodak camera you recommended and yesterday a seller was raving about how wonderful the pictures were that I had taken.  I think the camera did most of the work and I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

If I were in charge I would give your 200,000 points because your writing is so beautiful. 

Jeff,

Now what in the world could make you stay up until 3AM?  I would be worth nothing to the world it I did this!  Anyways, congratulations on your accomplishment although we all know we're the winners for having you in the AR community.  Get some sleep tonight!

Jeff, congratulations on this milestone!!  You are such an asset to Active Rain.  I love everything you bring to it.  Thank you!

Jeff - CONGRATULATIONS!!!  As others have said here, your posts are always on the 'not-to-be-missed' list in my book.  Thanks for all the sharing and helpful info in your posts!

Here's to the next 100,000!!
Ann

it is almost 8 am, east coast- you may be just getting to sink those teeth into your earnings!

Jeff, just keep doin what you do best! We'll keep the 100G bars stocked if that is all it takes! You are a fantastic writer, creative and of course give meaningful insight and thought to your work.. I know you have made many great friends here !

Be sure to give Rocky a bite, as she has been a great teammate and supporter of your fantastic work ( and she is one great mutha!)

Yay, Jeff!!!  Congratulations!!  Thanks for all the great information you've brought to us here in the Rain.

Congratulations Jeff!  I haven't had one of those candy bars in ages.  Looks good though...enjoy.

Jeff Congratulations.  I find that your blogs set the bar for the rest of us.  And a personal thank you because of your encouragement I decided to write a blog -- it got featured!  Then another blog got honorable mention in the Green Awareness contest.  I have a long way to go, but you helped me find my voice so I could sing in the rain.  Now -- get some rest!

Gosh Jeff... I can remember when you were just a "babe in the rain" now look at you all grown up.

(And actually, I bet if you ask TLW you are still a "Babe". But that is a DIFFERENT type of Babe. But Idigress.)

Anyway congrats congrats... your 100K worth of points are WELL EARNED.

Babe It Forward...

Me

Get some sleep. We will all be here waiting for the next 100k, Blue Eyes.

Jeff Turner.... Congrats man. Gee, we seem to have more in common. Not only 100k in points now, but that we love it here in AR, have gotten a lot from it, and that we seem to stay up until 2am to 3 am many mornings. I just burnt myself into the ground this week.

You are a class act on here and have brought much knowledge to AR... thanks. 

In any case, you have me hungry with that 100,000 bar, great touch with it and again, Congrats on your 100k and thanks for the mention. 

                                                                                                            

 

Linda, Codgers, Tim, Teresa, Diane, Maggie, Anne, Michele, Sarah, Paul, Joan, Craig, Maureen and Jeff... wow. Thank you. 

Congratulations Jeff!  Welcome to the Club!

Colleen... thank you. It's been fun getting here. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The things I've learned, the people I've met... the points are meaningless. The real reward is what happens in comment strings like this every day.

Your posts are so helpful Jeff, so I am glad that you post on AR regularly.  I am sure you help the more seasoned bloggers too, but I think you are paticularly helpful to those of us that are still figuring blogging/SEO out. 

Steve, thanks. I think we all help each other. In my mind, it's impossible to differentiate. Now, I'm off to the 5/405 South freeway... I'll probably put up a JottBlog along the way... then Twitter about it later.  :)

Congratulations, Jeff. It's been quite a journey, I bet - finding your voice, learning, making friends, and more. It has been a pleasure, for me and many others.

Jeff

Jeff ~ you are a delight and an inspiration to have around the rain.  Congratulations on your hard earn 100 grand.  Thanks!

kk 

Congrats!

I felt great when I crossed 20K - then 30K... now 100K is the new 30K!

by the way - that picture IMMEDIATELY started me thinking of Bill Murray in Caddyshack

Hi Jeff,

Huge congrats to you on your milestone. That's a lot of blogging.  Don't feel bad about being up at 3. I'm on my vacation with my kids, hid out in the bathroom of our hotel at 5am, blogging away while everyone sleeps. How neurotic is that? Have a good weekend and again, Congratulations !

{SVW Hubba}...

I'm so glad you posted this. It gave me the chance to say...

                                                          <"Quit Staring At Me"> LOL...

How many memories did that bring back? You hunk you. Wink. Wink.

TLW...ROAR!

By the way when this post dies down may I hijack it? SVW...ROAR!

Jeff,

Congrats on all of your accomplishments here on Active Rain.  I am in awe of all you in the 100K club.  Down here in the 30K range, I really admire your commitment.  Keep up the good work!

Congrats Jeff, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.  I must say, Your posts are on the top of my list at AR.

Welcome to the club, Jeff! I know that Jott is the hot topic right now, but I hope that Rainers will take a look back at some of the posts that got you here. You wrote some great stuff on values, book reviews, 'The Tomato Farmer', and 'Harnessing the Power of ActiveRain' -- all worth a second visit. Congrats!!

David, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Caddyshack.  *^_^* (Blush!)

All... I wanted to share my 100 Grand Bar with you... so, I added a little video. :)

Funny post Jeff...but I've got to tell you- even better- that is the best title I have ever seen.  It really sucked me in. 

Congratulations Jeff. You are an inspiration and a great read and commentor.

Aw, Jeff!  That's just cruel.  You ate chocolate in front of me.

Haven't you ever heard, "If you dont' have enough for the whole class ... "

Congratulations Jeff, I cant believe you ate that candy bar in front of us, lol. 

I think THIS one deserves a hijack for sure!!!  Jeff - you are such a sales person....I have never eaten a 100Grand Bar and I will have to go out today and get one - I laughed the whole time I was watching the video - talki about a "feel good" moment - CONGRATS!!

Let the hijacking begin!!!! Can you hijack your own post, TLW [SVW]...  :)

 

I'm adding a "Twitter This" button in AR colors by editing the TwitThis.com java script. It'll be up under my photo in a second. It will look like this:

Well Jeff,

I for one am glad to see that I am not the only night-owl in the group and yes; I am an AR Addict :). Congrats on your accomplishments and I know when I'm reading and typing away in the wee-hours of the morning that somewhere in Santa Clarita, CA, there is another human being chewing on a candy bar and drinking coffee.

Jennifer... lots of coffeee... ridiculous amounts of coffee... all Fair Trade coffee, by the way!

Jeff - Congrats on the well deserved 100K and looking forward to reading many more of your great posts!

Jeff,

I was lured in by the chocolate bar, did not know you had reached such a milestone, but congrats are definitely due. Your blogs were not ordinary either, so double congrats on that. Now I am off to find some candy. Power of suggestion:)

Hey JT..

Congrats on 100K.. You came.. You Saw.. You read..  You Wrote!  and you continue to Conquer!!

I'm back from my AR hiatus.. and I'm sure you and I will cross emails at 3AM.. but watching you eat that candy bar confirms it for me.  You really are nuts -- man!!!   Thats was pretty funny...

;-)

MR

{SVW Hubba}...

I have hijacked more of my own posts than I can count. SVW...

Thanks for giving me back my hijack video. I couldn't remember what post it was on.

I would join you in having candy but it makes my a*s fat. Can I say that? Too late. I already did :) 

P.S. By the way, are you trying to get me in trouble with Blog Boy? You hunk you. Wink. Wink.

TLW...ROAR!

Jeff, CONGRATULATIONS, and welcome to the family. Your posts are always thought provoking, inspiring, or both. Just remember, the second 100,000 is easier than the first!

LOL... you're all making me smile... very wide! :)

 

Hey Beavercreek Boy- Good on ya! 

Congrats Jeff! Your posts are always great to read and it was fun to see you in person. I've been away from the 'rain for several weeks and it was nice to get back to a familiar name and face. Keep up the great work!

Jeff,

Congratulations on your milestone and I LOVED your video!  But now I am suddenly craving chocolate and seeing that it's after 1o pm (do you know where your children are?  Oh, sorry - that's a NY thing!), I am not about to go out for that now, so I'm going to toast you with my Chocolate Mint Zone bar!

Mazel Tov!

VAL

What's the difference between Twitter and Twitter this?

Can you be my twitter friend...pretty please??  http://twitter.com/Ines

Good on Fair Trade!!!!

Oh and I must admit that the candy bar originally made me think of a movie with Bill Murray I believe it was lol. Sorry it was a gross part but does anyone remember the candy bar floating in the pool? :) Ewww. Does anyone remember the movie for that matter? (Was it caddyshack or groundhogs day?)

 

Congratulations on the milestone, and I guess now we know what's fueling that penatrating gaze...100K grams of sugar!!!!

 

 

Theresa... Go Beavers!

Chrissy, Val & Chris... chocolate is good! Sadly, it's also one of the product fueling child slavery around the world, the more I learn, the less of it I can eat! Studying the subject is a great way to lose weight. 

Jennifer... we spent a lot of time in the last few weeks analyzing what we buy and looking at the fair trade website. Sobering.

Ines... twitter away! 

Major Well Done, Jeff.  I have to tell you I know what you mean about sleep.  AR is flat out addictive.  We are truly fortunate to have this place and the regulars who inhabit it with their decency and shared wisdom.  I include you in that, sir.  KNow it or not you've taught me a lot.  110K bars are fine but I'd add Kudos to you.

I don't get the twitter thing yet.....what do you use it for?

Hi Jeff,

 It was great watching you on the video.  Congratulations on reaching the 100k bar.

Mario

Jeff,

Congrats!  I really enjoy reading your blogs.  Your a real inspiration for those of us working on making it in the blog world!!

Ines... I've got a few people in my list who post to twitter about what they are reading at that moment, I do the same. I got a great article on web 3.o from a guy named Daniel in Australia, which led me to a new rss feed i wanted to subscribe to. It's in the moment stuff... I'm not 100% sure about it yet, but I'm giving it a fair shot. Luckily for me, there is a mac only application that makes it easy for me to do and I've added "twitter this" buttons to many of my own blogs to make it easier for others to do as well. Click on the Twitter This button under my photo and see for yourself. 

Terry, Mario... Thank you!

Ines... perfect example... .this from Robert Scoble... "JamGlue, on ScobleShow.com now is a "YCombinator" startup. FOur kids living in one house in Seattle. It's like GarageBand online, very cool."  Go to my friends timeline and you'll see, or go to http://res.realestateshows.com/jott and look at the time line on the right.

OK - I can see where it can come in handy - I just twitted your jottblog experiment.  Obviously it would be more effective if your friends' list is larger - but it can get confusing.   I'll keep playing with it, but don't see a major advantage yet.

Here is a PC twitter app... http://triqqr.de/

I wouldn't be running out and buying any Twitter stock yet, but the buzz is pretty high on this one. My guess is that the apps that are fed off of it will define it's true value in the long run. Or not.  :)

Thanks for giving me a chocolate craving at midnight with the candybar picture!  I have G.E.R.D. so bad that I may as well eat chocolate and die at this point.  Oh, and congratulations too.

Fran

Best wishes on your 100,000 plus...cause YES!!  POINTS MATTER!!!  I think you won the bet.  What was I supposed to do for you?

Ooohhh ....this has to be good....What were you guys betting?

Hi Jeff.. congrats on the milestone!! :) now my ego over here is asking me how you did double than him in the same period of time. I'm trying to explain some things to him, but he ain't listening.. hahaha!!  relax nick, relax! :^)V)

the video was a great touch to make it personal, but now i want some chocolate and to buy some gold!!

congrats again big guy!! see you around brother!

 

Congrats and thanks for sharing..   I'll take a box of those bars... only because I know I heard you say that they were fat free, sugar free and calorie free.

Its amazing how the brains can twist thing around    <---- supposed to be a cheer leader - Now i am thinking it looks more like I am doing jumping jacks..   Guess I can have another bar

Jeff, thanks for being such a great part of the community! Without realizing it, I have mentioned you in most of my posts. You have affected my greatly. You have helped me to stay focused on what is important. Thanks again.

Jeff,

Congratulations on the 100000 mark - I'm going to eat a chocolate bar in your honor - always looking for a good excuse to justify chocolate - Here's to your next 100,000. 

Congrats, Jeff, and what a milestone.  I never realized that blogging meant community and you have definitely contributed to that community!  As to Teresa . . . who needs teeth?  She has a good dentist instead!

Dude, that was hilarious.  I have seen that face before (stromboli) and 100,000 grand bars are my FAVORITE of all.  Then Milky Way then Heath.  Oh, wait, forgot the newest one, Take 5!!  Had one of those bad boys yet??  Caramel, pretzel, chocolate, awesome.  Congratulations on the milestone!!

Wow., 70 comments. I haven't read them but I wanted to say Congrats for passing the 100,000 point milestone. I too feeli like this is such a great community. I really enjoy my time here. You are a great contributor here and I enjoy reading your posts very much.

PS- your 1000 grand bar had my mouth watering too! Too bad I am allergic to sugar. Mmmm. I remember how those taste. Yummy!

Hi Jeff, We have been away for a week and I just wanted to say congratulations on 100K. I remember when you joined and started off in the photography group etc.. and that's when you took off. We are looking forward to your next 100K.
