I've never seen a more affectionate dog, absolutely eager to please. And smart.

It took her less than a week to figure out the doggie door (she was afraid of it initially) and she's going to be an equally quick study with the treadmill.

What's 1,000,000

A million seconds is 12 days.
It takes 23 days to count from one to one million
A million minutes ago was – 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.
A million hours ago was in 1885

A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. Treasury.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

There's been 718 comments so far today, six hours before the "day" ends, as against a daily average of 553.

Only 1,046 more comments to go, before the magic million.

There were 792 comments yesterday, at the end of the "day," as compared with a daily average of 553.

Right now we're at 999,031--only 969 more comments to go, to reach the magic one million!

Can we make it before thundley4 has to go to work for the weekend?

Thanks!

Ooops, I wasn't thinking of Friday as part of the weekend.

I'll keep everybody from posting until you're off, I'm assuming by suppertime, and then we may resume.

As of 12:45 p.m. central time, many hours before the "day" here ends at 3:00 a.m. central time, we've had 280 comments; a pretty good clip.   The daily average is 553, and we're sure to hit that, no problem.

We're currently 692 short of one million.
