Bro @BadExample haven't you kind of taken up the torch for numbers? Maybe you could give @mikeoso a number?

Mike welcome aboard from the sunny south, Georgia mtns.......My sister is a retired school teacher.30 years also, she taught 1st 2nd 3rd grade for 15 years and it drove her crazy, so she switched to Librarian, which paid the same, since she had a masters in Library science and finished 15 more years......now she has been volunteering as an assistant part time, I don't know how!! I'm happily retired and don't do much of anything anymore and loving it......

Well it's that time here in beautiful overcast Indiana. Time to take my wife to the surgery center to have her hand worked on. After she's checked in, I get to drive across town for my physical. Hoping my Doc keeps his hands to himself this time. We know he won't though 
Ugh, well, I did try to pick up the torch. It was hot and heavy. I dropped it.
I don't think I've ever seen a number issued past 150. Should we just start at 200? There have been many new old grumps come on board since the great B-String stopped giving out the numbers.
I am a very poor substitute for B-String.
I, for one, will trust your judgement on the number thing(and other things,too).
I thought that the member number assignment was now fully automated.
The member number is the number of the visitor’s first post. Maybe a BadExample, but your post is #12165. If this were your first post here, that would be your club membership number.
It makes it much easier for old folks to manage.
I dig it Beans! That also inflates us like a blowfish
That’s how dog tags are returned. The next post would reinstantiate them into the collective.
Unless of course, they are branded.
I think starting at 200 would be a good move. And bro @BadExample none of us expect to replace B-string. We move on and carry the torch to the best of the ability. The flag drops, someone picks it up and marches forward.
I'm amused by the expressionless coat and tie wearing yuppie types in the audience. There were very few people who 'felt' it-or wouldn't dare let on that they felt it.
Hey fellas, night boss is out of surgery and in the VIP recovery room. Surgeon just came by and said it all went well. I think she's pretty buzzed on the meds since she is laughing at my jokes rather than giving me the look.

Otis Rush recorded the song in 1956. The bass player on the track was Willie Dixon, who wrote the song.
I noticed the kids sitting on their hands with interest. I’m guessing that performance was mid 60’s.
I hope that she recovers quickly and will be wagging her finger at you before long.
Excellent news, bro Bad! Here's to her quick and full recovery and like GP said, hope she's wagging her finger at you very soon!
See my signature, clear instructions. Although, I must admit, it hasn't worked for anyone yet
Sorry, I'm a lazy assed GOF.
I think the link in your signature hasn't worked because it got entered incorrectly to this:
I think you may have intended this link instead?:
When I click on the first link, I get a lovely image of Al Kraft's black German Shepherd.
Yeah, sure says, "Get off my lawn!" But not, "Here's how to get a membership number."
I don't feel much actual need for a number. The last time I let someone give me a number I ended up in places where people were very rude to me.
