It was a day

[HerenIstarion]

Dear Downers

Couple of days ago, it was my birthday. I've got enormous number of PMs with wishes and congratulations, and I'm really grateful. It so happened, though, that during my effort of answering them, I've reached the limit of twenty, and than accidentally, deleted them all. Some I've managed to answer before that unfortunate event, the greater part was lost.

So, this thread (which, I suppose, will be closed soon, for there is no much to it but to let you know I appreciated your care), is dedicated to the purpose of saying thank you to all who saw the date on the calendar, took notice and PMed me

I'm sorry for being unable of thanking you all in person

For all who asked, but I were unable of providing an adequate answer, it was a great party, where it snowed food and rained drink, as they say in the Shire. Lot of fun took place, among which: Bothering Neighbours and Not Letting Poor People Sleep Till 4 AM, Getting Drunk To An Extent Of Not Being Able To Stand Upright, Dancing Slow Dances And Singing "I Will Survive" Along The Scooter and Prodigy (I really don't know why or how), Giving George A Lot Of Mathoms For His Birthday, namely - 4 ashtrays (to think I was going to quit smoking), 3 lighters, 6(!) Beermugs and one smoking pipe (these people really push me on the road to lung cancer on the background of putting up extra weight, lol).

Ah, Dumbledore, nobody ever gives you wool socks, alas!

Besides lot of fun on the lighter side, serious things happened too - I've got engaged (the working up process to the event being the reason of my less frequent posting of late, and remaining the reason for the dicrease of freqeuncy in nearly observable future).

Despite said, and thanks to, I'm happy

And, back to the purpose of the thread - your PMs before, on and after the day made me even happier

SO, thank you!

and, traditional... cheers!
