It's my two year death month anniversary. Although, it is a bit misleading. I actually died in the year 2001 but as Hobbitlass, I had almost reached my 500th post when I was 'resurrected'. This happened because my computer failed and I got lost from the forum and could not get my original password because I had new emails and accounts. So I died again as Holbytlass. I haven't posted much in this past year, been busy with my fourth baby. All those hungry hobbit mouths to feed!!

Happy (belated) Deathday to Me!
I'm nearly two weeks late with this, but happy deathday to myself. I died May 12th, 2003. I haven't posted all that much considering the amount of time I've been a member, but I can say that my posts have improved quite a bit in quality since the very beginning.

I see dead people
On this day I've been six feet under for two years (and still alive and kicking?) !!
I'd like to quote a speech of one very famous hobbit we all know. "First of all, I am immensely fond of you all, and two years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable sprites!" ...Or something along those lines... Cheers! ps. this is my 600th post, go me!

My "deathday", June 25th, is right around the corner, but I don't think I'll be able to be here for it since I'll be on a road trip from tomorrow until the end of June. However, on that day, I will have been a BDer for two whole years!!

Birthday Mathoms
Well if this is post non-grata, it is a fair cop (but Feanor of the Peredhil is to blame.... of course
 )......... and I thought it was better to use a related and little used topic and go off it a little than create a completely self obsessed thread!Well more years than I am prepared to admit to have passed since the world first had the privilege of my company and various downers have been kind enough to wish me well which has been a comfort on this truly depressing day - one of them hoped for mathoms... so... encouraged by the fact that I am still and adolescent in elf years here goes..... there may be more later but I have to go and drown my sorrows in champagne very shortly but I think a little clearout will be liberating... For Fordim Hedgethistle: A very battered Akubra hat and my collection of "orphan" gloves. I am sure he will find them useful as gauntlets should he take up duelling again. For Fea a copy of "I will survive" to get her through a game of Werewolf. and my long neglected art materials...... For Esty and Mark10-30 and any other needlewomen.. various projects in different stages of incompletion - mainly tapestry and petit-point and too many completely pristine - but all so pretty For Boromir88: A bottle of Pimm's (not a mathom this as such but ...), "Why men don't listen and women can't read maps" by Barbara and Alan Pease "How to watch cricket" by John Arlott. FOr Heren Istarion, books in my "permanent collection", I do not regard as mathoms but if I had to hand them over to anyone, it would be HI. However for now I send him "3 men on the Bummel" so he can extend his knowledge of JK Jerome, and "the Diary of a Nobody" on the grounds that someone who likes Jerome will probably like Grossmith, and the "Lord Peter Wimsey " detective stories of Dorothy L Sayers... someone almost as erudite as HI himself... Oh and just maybe he would like my Michelin Guide Bleu of Paris - I am sure an extensive tour of the Louvre will be top priority ... Saucepanman gets a pottle of "Old Thumper" and Daumier's " Les gens de Justice" The Phantom gets a black rider mask (spares are always handy)... Lalwende gets something from my hat collection, some cuttings and a passport application form ..... For Eomer of the Rohirrim..... Hmm what can you give the man who has everything -about the only thing I don 't have cluttering up the house is a Warg ... :d oh I know - my copy of "Watership Down"

Post Script
an interim thank you to all those who have sent me such kind birthday messages.
My real life post yesterday consisted of a letter from the Inland Revenue (somehow they rarely neglect to send me something on my birthday ..bless them.. ) and a card from my sister which had (and this is true honest ) " S*D off " on the front. One of my closest friends gave me scented wardrobe sachets .. so it is hardly surprising I was not in the best humour (at least until the second glass ) so truly you all made my day..... and fully justified the amount of time I spend on the site!!! If all that sounds too sad.. I would add that I was taken out for a marvellous evening of Shakespeare and Strawberries on Tuesday and there will be more festivities over the Weekend ...

Happy deathday to me!
2 years ago today I was hesitantly registering to post in a thread, after having lurked for a while in this fine place, and being too intimidated to match my wits with any of you. What can I say, it's been a joy and a challenge to haunt these barrows with y'all. Here's to many more years to come *lifts pint*

Oh. lol. How dumb do I feel now?
 Thanks for pointing it out, Enca. I swear I don't know what's up with me recently. Must be the combination of playing Tol-in Gaurhoth and studying for exams.

Really? How do you measure that, because I keep thinking you've been here at least a year and a half... Or at least longer than I can remember... My memory is failing me, I'm getting too old. Anyways, happy deathday to you! ~ Memories Ka Hey! It's July! But, i've quite forgotten the exact date I joined in July... Oh well. I'll have to check later, because i'm tired and old and that's what Ka does.

I know now, because I checked it today. I couldn't last night because it was 3:00 a.m. and I had spent four hours in Barnes & Noble waiting with my friend for the release of the new Harry Potter book. It's what friends do for each other. Or at least, what I end up doing... Hey! One of my friends leaves for Peru on the same date of my second deathday... Weird...  ~ Now awake Ka

Happy deathday arcticstorm and any others whose deathday is today (or any that I will miss due to my insanity
 ). Unfourtunately, my deathday isn't until Feburary, just after exams!!! I can't wait either, even though it's so far away (and the start of second semester pretty much!).

I just realized that I made my first post on the Downs on 5 September '00. That means I've been skulking amongst these mounds for five years Monday. Hard to believe!
It also means that HI's deathday can't be far behind, as we were "unborn" within a few days of each other, IIRC. |

Congrats, Underhillo! Your post made me curious and I went searching for my first post. I could not find anything earlier than about October, 2000, though I know I was posting before then. I recall my first post, which I think opened a new thread, and who replied (nastily). I think it may have been swept away in a Barrow-cleaning. If I recall, I first posted a day after I joined...

Thank you for the Happy D-Day wishes, all.
Mith -- nice to have some direct conversation with you for the first time in quite a while! Fortunately my own welcome was much more gentle, thanks to the likes of you. The join dates for older members aren't necessarily accurate -- I can't remember if they reflect the first post found in the database from the migration, or if they just take the stored "join date" from an earlier version of the forum. I know when we migrated from EZBoard to UBB, it was based on post date, but I'm not sure how UBB to vBulletin went. As you surmise, Mith, your earliest post was likely either swept up in barrow cleaning or irretrievably lost during one of the many Great Corruptions of our UBB days. |

I wish I knew when I joined (sometime in 2001 I believe). Where does it give an exact date? I only see month, year here.
And happy deathday, Mr. Underhill! Mine was more belated than the rest, but it got here eventually...

It is a cliche I'm going to address you with, but truth is not worn for repeating, as truly I'm going to tell you that I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve (Yes, it is a compliment, though I haven't participated in related thread to state it)And of course, shuffling the quote a bit, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that five years is too short a time to be dead among such excellent and admirable ghosties and ghoulies and wee student beasties, as you are What else? Speeches should be short and to the point, so that's it, nice and short: Happy Deathday to Me Almost forgot: hope to be around and to see you around in forty five years, when I have proper jubilee to celebrate
