What fabulous news! Dear, Coloma, let me wish you a hearty Hawaiian, “Ho’omaikai!”

Let’s start passing the coconut drinks. I brought some fresh green papaya salad. We’re going to have plenty to eat and drink at this party, I know!

tranquilsea's avatar

Cool, cool, COOL!

Congratulations to one of my favourite Jellies.

rooeytoo's avatar

Wow, you are moving up in the world! Congrats to you and the goose! lol

Break out the happy brownies!

30 thousand geese now on their way to @Coloma’s place, flying in a CONGRATS formation, yeheyy! It only took me two months to train them. No, I actually just begged them. : )

Bellatrix's avatar

Oh my goodness! Congratulations @Coloma. I feel like such a goose because I didn’t realise you were so close to this milestone!

“Listen to all, plucking a feather from every passing goose, but, follow no one absolutely” Chinese proverb that seems to fit our favourite Goose loving lady. Maybe hold off on the feather plucking though…

Judi's avatar

Congratulations!! Your wise and safe advice is always spot on. I can’t remember what we are calling the 30k hang out, but welcome!

ETpro's avatar

Well take a gander at that. @Coloma has goose-stepped her way all the way to the third tier of the Mansion. A well deserved promotion. Keep up the good work.

AstroChuck's avatar

Congratulations on a truly great milestone. I prostrate myself before your brilliance. All must kowtow to Coloma!

9doomedtodie's avatar

This is the information I got about your name: COLOMA

Your first name of Coloma has made you desire system and order and to progress step by step, yet you are taken into new experiences, turmoil, and change and rarely can you fully complete an undertaking to your satisfaction.

You are extremely analytical and sometimes critical of both others and of yourself, and must guard against sarcastic speech and temper.
Although the name Coloma creates the urge to be both logical and technical, we emphasize that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the elimination system, and solar plexus

CONGRATS…............CONGRATS…................CONGRATS…...........CONGRATS…....

:D.

Happy 30K @Coloma! I so adore your posts, perspective, your wanderlust and stories.

Please let us heap another 30K lurve or more your way – having you here makes Fluther wonderful!!

Congratulations goose girl! I’m looking online every day to see if anyone needs a fulltime shepherdess. There seem to be a coupe openings in Switzerland!

OpryLeigh's avatar

Congratulations to one of my favourite people here :)

Coloma's avatar

Okay…this is weird…I I just posted a reply to you all, but, it is not here!
Hmmm…what did you guys spike my drink with during the night anyway? lol
Either I didn’t hit the answer key hard enough before I exited, or….my ramble is in another Q. that will make no sense at all! haha

Aaah….well, that’s what happens typing under the influence of not enough coffee.
Thank you for the party!
While I was sleeping the geese were cavorting in the barn. Looks like I better tarp the house with the incoming flock on the way!

A continental Happy Brownie breakfast for all!
Kick yer shoes off and stay awhile!

Coloma's avatar

Hey…who left their speedos in the hot tub?

Coloma's avatar

I just spotted the flock banking in from the southwest, a perfect V formation as they make their final approach towards the micro-farm….tarps on the ready and 400 lbs. of cracked corn is spread on the runway. Marwyn is in the crows nest with the 10×50’s flagging them in!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Bow. Bow before the Goose Goddess!

Coloma's avatar

4:22 pm in west world, whew….a busy day and meanwhile back at the ranch I’ve just cracked my 2nd Modelo.
Woo Hoo, party and bonus, one of the premiere local rafting companies has asked me if I’d be interested in writing their weekly blog. Yippee, river goose on the loose! A fine day in the zone!

@Dutchess_III No bowing required all geese are equal. :-)
You guys are SO much fun! :-D

dabbler's avatar

@Coloma You’re the coolest bird in the western Sierras !
(“speedo” ? I presumed your hot-tubbers were clad in natural feathers alone.)

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III Haha….pluck the clothing from your plump breast. lol

tedibear's avatar

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Few on Fluther deserve the honor of this party as much as you do. Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom, insight and opinions with us.

FutureMemory's avatar

You’re awesome! Love reading your posts ;-)

AmWiser's avatar

Great goose a mooga!!!! Congratulations. 30K lurve to ya fine lady.:-)

wundayatta's avatar

@Coloma Congratulations on 30K. You are certainly one of the most distinct personalities among all the jellies. Your unique sense of place; your ethos; your willingness to go your own way no matter what stands out even in a group of iconoclasts.

We have had our share of contretemps, and there have been times when your attitude drove me nuts. I don’t know if you have mellowed or if I’ve grown more tolerant or if we just have come to know each other better, but we don’t fight like we used to. I’m voting for greater understanding.

But your sense of humor, I think, is what maybe tickles me most about you. Always quirky; always in good spirits; and almost as crazy as I am. Which is a good thing, in my book. The world needs more crazies.

You’re artsy; you can’t be bothered to smoke pot, but you’ll eat it; your favorite companion is a goose; you dance with cougars—real live cougars in the great forests in gold country—and one is always left wondering ‘what will she say next?’ If there were a dozen @Colomas here, I don’t think it would be too many. Alas, there is only one. Yet, we, of all the Q&A sites in the world, are blessed enough to have you here on a regular basis.

Thanks for hanging out with us. Welcome to the island! You can have any cabana you want. The cabana boys are ready to serve your every whim. Yes. Including that one!

DarlingRhadamanthus's avatar

@Coloma….Just saw the messages…..Wow! Well done! Well done!

So happy you are on the boards…because you make always have something fab to contribute…or something jolly to say! It’s lovely!

Congratulations…we are all Quackers for @Coloma!

Paradox25's avatar

You of all people on here definitely deserve it, so congratulations. Always civil, but yet passionate, yes that’s how I view you.

MilkyWay's avatar

Woo hoo! Congrats @Coloma :D
You da life of da party man <3

Coloma's avatar

Awww…you guys are just too nice! Thanks again for all the positive replies and I am honored to have such a great gang for my party guests! :-)

@wundayatta Scat ya old bear!
Yes, looks like the Cougar and the old Grizzly have made their peace and can now share in chewing over just about any carcass without much hissing and growling.
I guess we have firmly established our apex predator side and while you may outweigh me by about 300 lbs. I am lightening quick. lol Thanks for the charming sentiments, lets feast in the forest by the light of the silvery moon and run down some Coyotes.

Then we’ll wander into some camps and scare the beans outta the unsuspecting campers.

I’ll hold ‘em at bay while you pillage the food cache. ;-)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Coloma's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Who needs mods we did a fine job of running that silly goose outta the corral. lol

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Hehehehe, I’m just sad about the question being pulled! We were having such fun…

Coloma's avatar

I think that @cprevite has coined a new term with my little twist… a ” jelluva” person!
I can’t wait to use that on another jelly.:-D

gailcalled's avatar

Mlo here: I hope that Marwyn has put on his special party socks in your honor.

Sorry to be late to the party. You’re one of my favorite cat (and goose) lovers around. Well deserved congrats to you for 30K.

Coloma is, appropriately, the Native American Maidu (specifically Nisenan) word for Beautiful. I can’t think of a better word to describe her.

Congratulations, Coloma!
