NUMBERS - 100,000 Points and 8715 Days to Go Posting Sunsets, Beach Properties and Bikinis!

By
Real Estate Agent with Oikos Realty, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach Florida

I just achieved 100,000 points as an Active Rainer and it seems like the time just flew by! There are so many wonderful and talented people here and I feel like I can relate to just about everyone. I started thinking about numbers and the relevance they have in our lives both as milestones and motivation.

I have lived 22,675 days on the planet. Since the average life expentancy of a US male is 986 days less than a Canadian and I was born and raised in Canada, I'll go with 28,580 days. That means I have 5905 days left but wait! My Dad has lived for 31,273 days (86) so that leaves me with 8715 days if heredity has anything to do with it. The highest male life expectancy is in Iceland at 29,273 days but then I'd have to give up the beach and bikinis and shovel volcanic ash off my driveway. I wonder if that volcano reduced those numbers? In any case, I should still be around for a while to post a few more sunsets and bikinis on the beach. :-)

Other Milestones: 47 years (17,155 days) as a singer/songwriter/musician/photograher/author.

Singer, Songwriter, Musician

Quit smoking in 1988 - 22 years (8030 days).

Stop smoking!

Congratulations John. In the 8715 days you have left, if you write one post a day, and just the points for those posts, are aded up , you will be at 1,961,875. Since the posts represent less than half of your total points, if can easily you double it for comments and you be an MM member 4 times over. So it looks like your course is set, :-)

Hi John - Congratulations on your 100,000 point milestone.  Your points are worth a bit more than our points since we are moving further from parity again.

Congrats on all of the milestones, John! And taking William's calculations one step further ... if you divide the 8,715 posts equally by the three topics in your title, that means we've got 2,905 photos of bikinis to look forward to.

WoW that was a real numbers game.  Congratulations on your AR milestone.  Now go walk a mile on the beach.  And keep your eyes off the bikinis.  Yah right.

John, well first of all a big congrats to you for passing the 100K milestone. 

Secondly, I just got back from checking out some of your music.  I really enjoyed it...are you still active as a singer, song writer?  I work with a gentleman who is also a singer, songwriter and has a show about every six weeks...it's always a lot of fun.

Jenny - What bikinis? :-)

Thanks Nick - I'm still active but not gigging on a regular basis anymore, although that could change. I just hooked up with another singer-songwriter and we've played together a few times, so we'll see. I love playing music, I just don't want to lug all of that equipment in and out, set it up and tear it down every night. I think I'll concentrate on recording for a while unless I get a roadie :-)

John, "Roadie" huh...are there any bikini clad groupies following you around???...I could be a roadie.

Here is a YouTube link to one of Jim's shows.

Nick - Loved the video you old hound dog! That's one good lookin' chick and she can sing too! Sorry, no bikini groupies for me anymore :-) BTW - The guy next to the girl is Alan Rhody. I used to play the same circuit in Ontario, Canada as him and we are still in touch. He played here in Cocoa about 2 years ago.

Al & Peggy - You two are great and I love your posts as well. Thanks for offering to take me back in Canada but Nick and I are going to be busy checking out the beach wildlife :-)
