For Those Who Died Today... Happy Deathday! - Page 13 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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

Eönwë · 01-12-2009, 03:11 PM

Happy Deathday, Esty!

Groin Redbeard · 01-12-2009, 07:07 PM

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

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-12-2009, 11:37 PM

Thanks for all the good wishes! No, I had no special celebration; unfortunately, real life is taking up so much of my time that I have little left over to spend on the Downs. Hopefully, that will change in the future.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-13-2009, 04:25 AM

Ooh, let me join (belated) the congratulations, Esty

What would we do without you being here... Best wishes for your next 'Downs year and hope you are going to stay with us for long long time to come

Mithalwen · 02-27-2009, 03:50 PM

Happy 5th deathday to my near contemporary in decay and one of my best BD friends, Boromir 88 - I hope to see him around again soon.

Durelin · 02-27-2009, 07:27 PM

Happy Deathday Boro!!

Yes, definitely miss you being around much...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-28-2009, 02:48 AM

Ah, very true! Happy deathday, Boro! Wish you were around more.

Thinlómien · 03-06-2009, 08:04 AM

Wholeheartedly seconding (or fourthing?) all that has been said.

Lhunardawen · 03-12-2009, 02:03 PM

To take advantage of an increasingly rare visit, and because I am certain I will miss this on the day of, let me say this now: 6 years!

Durelin · 03-12-2009, 05:17 PM

Woohoo, Happy Deathday Lhuna! You need to be around more, too.

Definitely seconded.

At least your absence has been in a good cause. Have a lovely deathday darling girl

love,

Mummie

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-12-2009, 06:38 AM

Another year, another missed death-day; but slightly more than 7 years on the Downs for me now.

I toast you all.

Thinlómien · 05-12-2009, 12:42 PM

Ooh congrats, Eomer.

Nogrod · 05-12-2009, 01:36 PM

7 years?

And you're now what?

Congrats to you Eomer! You're one of those without whom the 'Downs would not be the 'Downs!

Eönwë · 05-12-2009, 04:10 PM

7 years. That's impressive, Eomer. Congratulations! *insert clever Scottish Gaelic proverb*

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-13-2009, 02:23 AM

Thanks.

And that ship just stays in the harbour now, Eönwë. Too old for anything else.

Okay, I was so sure that my deathday was yesterday, but when I checked I saw it was on the 7th instead. Then I look back at my post from last year and see I mixed it up the other way. How weird is that? My deathday seems to change by the year...could it be because of timezone differences? Because if I joined say 11pm MST on the 6th then technically I joined on the 7th EST (at 1am), which is what my time zone is currently set to..

So I'm no longer actually sure when my deathday is. But either way, it doesn't change that I've now been a Barrow Downer for seven years. Geez, that's a long time. I think back to when I was this 13 year old kid who was introduced to this site by a friend, and boy have things changed since then. Both me and the website. Funny to think that I've been here long enough to watch fellow Downers grow up and change with me. It's rather awesome, really. And just wait until another seven years pass...

It seems appropriate that out of all days, today will be the day I put up the admin thread for my game (yes, it'll be up sometime tonight).

Morthoron · 06-07-2009, 08:01 PM

Congrats, Brin.

I just noticed I also passed my two-year anniversary a few days ago. Alas, that I can continue on this board for another ten years and still be considered a junior member with the likes of Brin having posted for most of this century!

Thinlómien · 06-11-2009, 03:50 PM

Belated congrats, Brinn and Morth.

Eönwë · 08-02-2009, 03:41 AM

Congratulations to TGEW on her second deathday!

Hakon · 08-02-2009, 07:04 AM

Happy second death day TGEW.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-02-2009, 08:00 PM

Now I feel old... Well, not really.

Thinlómien · 08-05-2009, 07:58 AM

Belated congrats, TGEW.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 08-05-2009, 08:57 AM

Oh, belated happy deathday, TGEW (so now you can slowly start to consider yourself a senior member! Want a walking stick yet?), and to Brinn too! Shame I kept missing everybody's deathdays, but well, people do it themselves

(not that it's an excuse)

No, maybe a couple more years before I need one.

Happy (belated) Deathday, Rikae!

Thinlómien · 08-26-2009, 12:51 PM

Seconded - congrats.

Hakon · 08-26-2009, 03:41 PM

Fifthed. Happy deathday Rikae.

Eönwë · 08-26-2009, 04:54 PM

Ooh, a belated Happy Deathday to Rikae!

Enjoy this year on the 'Downs and hopefully the many more to come!

Rikae · 08-26-2009, 06:47 PM

Thanks, everyone!

HerenIstarion · 09-25-2009, 07:41 AM

9.... ominous number, that...

Eönwë · 09-25-2009, 11:05 AM

Happy belated deathday, HI!

Wow... 9. Makes me feel like even more of a newbie than usual.
