Wait. What happened to Dawn turning into her dad? Are we just going to ignore that 500 pound gorilla? Have we moved on? ...Okay, looks like it. Let's just talk about Jared for the rest of the week.
Today marks my 4,000th Mary Worth post. Which is nothing compared to what Karen Moy has written. Still, I want to celebrate. And I'm looking for good ideas. Your thoughts, and your tips, are always welcome! Let's celebrate together!

It's MW&M #4000!
Congrats, Wanders! Four thousand of these babies and your mind doesn't seem to have rotted much!
On behalf of all of your faithful flock, thank you for your service!
Happy Number 4,000 Wanders! Mary can bake night and day, but she won’t produce 4,000 muffins. Thank you, thank you, for bringing so much hilarity and camaraderie into our lives! (BTW, the “your tips” link below today’s post is not working, but the Donate button at far right is.)
So Dawn’s nightmare is fading fast, crushed by Mary’s “advice” - bleah. Dawn, you’re giving in with not even a whimper. Try this: “He needs to know that I don’t hate him. He just needs to know that I never want to see his stupid face and his dumb cat again! I hope his taped-up beater falls apart on the freeway, too.”
Mary’s still clutching that skinny glass with the lemon slice on the rim.
Thank you, Wanders. I came in later, but the service you provide is priceless. I would like to know what Mary puts in the muffins to turn a person's attitude around so fast?
Meala-naidheachd, Wanders! (As you know, that's "congratulations" in Scots Gaelic. Almost as catchy as whatever the name of Zak's favorite band was). You bring a much needed gravitas to the oft overlooked field of MW literary criticism and are deserving of a generous faculty grant!
Congratulations, Wanders! 4,000 posts! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read every single one of them myself. Yeah... It's true. Because you asked for ideas for ways to commemorate this huge accomplishment, I was going to suggest a contest to see who remembers reading the oldest post. I was pretty certain I'd be a contender, probably having discovered MW&M back in your "hundreds" of posts. Well, no contest; I win. I was here for Chester the Dog; I was here the time Mary cheated on Dr. Jeff with Ron Almaldi; I was even here when Drew dumped Dawn for Vera! Oh my.
So, my only other suggestion is that each of us puts $4,000 into your tip jar. I'll go first.

P.S. - For anyone who needs a good laugh, take the time to wander through Wanders' archives. They are hilarious!
WOW!! 4,000 posts and you are still sane? Amazing. Congrats Wanders and the Santa Royal Rehabilitation Fund just got a bit larger. Hope they use it to bring back the pool parties. Haven't had one in quite a while.
Wanders, what caused you to become obsessed, er, interested in Mary Worth? And not Dondi, or Blondie, or Maggie and Jiggs? Why did Mary have the magic for you, and not the others?
So good to hear from Nance!!! I've missed you!And happy 4000th anniversary to the brilliant Wanders. I'm a long time Mary Worth and Me reader, first time commenter 😊

As for a celebration, muffins are definitely a no-brainer. And a toast if you have any purple scotch.

Congratulations, Wanders! (I arrived some time in the 3000s, I think via a link from Josh.)
Anonymous: that's not purple scotch, it's meths. Always stay classy, Westons.
I still feel we were robbed of a really trippy dream sequence.

If you are an old fat balding man you can have endearing quirks. If you are a woman you are expected to apologize for all your actions.

Chester the Dog! Arf!
Clearly you need fresh baked muffins, followed by salmon squares
I also am an early follower. We are growing old together. Alas I cannot convince my kids to join the Worthiverse.

How to celebrate? Charterstone Pool Party!
Thanks everyone who has donated so far. I've updated the link in the post and hope it works better now.

Happy 4K, Wanders! To celebrate this milestone, here's a quick
Boldface Haiku, just for you, entitled
The Mother-In-Law From Hell Speaks
Best for him...
Even you.
Don't.
Nance, it is wonderful to hear from you again!
