For Those Who Died Today... Happy Deathday! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A happy Deathday to HerenIstarion and Rune! I hope you come back Heren and I hope Rune stays for many more years!

Mithalwen · 09-23-2008, 06:22 AM

I am only too happy to second what Nogrod has said about Heren's encouragement of newcomers. It is something for which I am forever in HI's debt - as well as his education programme regarding Georgia - this time last year I was able to explain to my family the reasons for Georgia playing rugby to such a high level, now alas I watch the news and fret about the safety of Heren and family. So I send a deathday wish for better times in his Shire.

Thinlómien · 09-23-2008, 09:58 AM

Ooh, happy deathday, Heren... Eight years is quite an achievement (not that it would be so horrible here that one wouldn't have fun...

). I, too, must second what is said about Mr H-I and newcomers, and add a little point which is that I found it very nice and welcoming as a newcomer that such a respected and wise member as H-I thanked me for the reputation points I gave him.

Indeed a happy deathday, Mr. HI. Now eight years - that indeed feels almost unimaginable; it made me think how relative the numbers sometimes are - because while I can well imagine let's say eight apples, but have a problem with imagining a million apples; then if I try to imagine eight years at the Downs, I have a problem rightaway... but there's somebody who actually managed it

***Mister Underhill*** · 09-23-2008, 08:34 PM

Aye, a happy D-day to you, HI. Glad you were able to check in!

Yes, it does seem like only yesterday we were two young wights about the mounds. Look at us now, husbands and fathers both. Wouldn't it be nice if we were still talking Tolkien eight years hence, and maybe both our sons Junior Wights into the bargain.

It just occurred to me that my 6th Deathday was a couple weeks ago (Sep 28th, I believe). 6 years is a life-age on the internet, even if I only really check in to play Werewolf these days. I recall days gone by when I haunted the books and the movies and the RPGs and the mirthy endeavors not involving the phrase Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Way back when my screenname actually matched my age.

Happy Deathday, Di!!

I believe my sixth was a few days ago...

Lhunardawen · 01-07-2009, 07:18 AM

The whole day today, the thought that there's something I should be remembering kept gnawing at me... and turns out it should have happened yesterday. Boo for amnesia.

Happy deathday, Michael.

It's amazing that it's already been four years, but somehow it's not hard to believe.

And late deathday greetings to Kath, who turned 5 years dead last January 4! What a perfect day to join the Downs.

'Tis my 7th deathday today! Who'd have thought that this site would be such an important part of my life for so many years?!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-12-2009, 12:42 PM

That is quite Impressive Esty, do you have any special activities planned for this death day?

(There really should be some sort of traditions attached to a deathday)

Thinlómien · 01-12-2009, 01:24 PM

Ooh, happy deathday Esty!

Congratulations

May the next seven be as fun and as impotant, and seven after that and so forth

Happy Deathday, Esty!

Happy deathday Estelyn! Let's hope that this year you won't have to be as tEsty with us. Have a good one!
