For Those Who Died Today... Happy Deathday! - Page 8 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-14-2007, 02:16 PM

My fifth death day was just shortly after yours, Alk! I was away from home on the 12th though, so hadn't the opportunity to celebrate it with due solemnity. Wow, five years is an eternity in this fast-lived internet age.

The Might · 01-14-2007, 04:51 PM

Just wanted to wish anyone who celebrated recently a happy deathday, and many more years together on the Downs I hope !

01-18-2007, 08:36 PM

Happy Death day to you all, and a big hug to my best friend Alk see you in guild wars for that drink.

Alkanoonion · 01-19-2007, 03:28 PM

lol Luth you mad girl **hugs back**

Thanks all, the downs has been a much loved home and while I may not post much I am here most weeks reading and loving you all.

Child of the 7th Age I will have a look on the rpg forum and see if any spots are free, I have been doing a lot of roll playing in guild wars with Luth so I hope that I have improved from the old days.

Nogrod · 01-23-2007, 02:07 AM

I indeed had a deathday yesterday but forgot it...

But thanks to you all it sure has been a good year. I'm very happy that Lommy managed to drag me here...

Thanks Lommy!

Thanks Lommy!

You're welcome, I'm glad to have dragged you here.

(Though I admit sending a panicky PM to Kath right after you joining titled "The shock of the year", saying "My dad just joined the barrow-downs!

That's right! I'd forgotten all about that.

Happy deathday Noggie, and now that you're thoroughly stuck here let's hope you have many more!

Lhunardawen · 01-23-2007, 09:09 PM

It took me quite a while to realise you're father and daughter, though.

Belated happy deathday, Nogrod, and here's to more years of death and decay!

Mithalwen · 03-01-2007, 11:17 AM

A belated happy third deathday to Boromir88 for the 27th February.

Seconded!

Gil-Galad · 03-02-2007, 07:42 PM

heh everyone missed mine in febuary... boy do i feel loved...

Kath · 03-02-2007, 07:54 PM

Sorry Gil! A belated happy birthday to both you and Boro then.

Dang it, we need Holby back so we can keep up!

Rikae · 04-14-2007, 09:21 PM

I would like to wish a belated happy first deathday to a certain downer (who is probably sleeping now, but oh well.)

You know who I mean...(psst...in light of the last WW game, I hope he's having nice dreams...

)

Thinlómien · 04-16-2007, 02:03 AM

Seems quite belated

, but since I've missed it too, I'll be wishing Mac a happy deathday as well. Hyvää kuolinpäivää!

Macalaure · 04-16-2007, 02:56 AM

Thaaank you!

I can't believe I've already been here for a whole year. I still feel kinda newbieish.

A question to the admins: Would it be possible to have a Deathdays-row beneath the Birthdays-row on the main page. There seem to me more belated congratulations here than congratulations that're on time.

Rikae · 04-16-2007, 03:20 PM

Yes, seconded! And, ideally, it would be up and running before August 25th...

Mithalwen · 05-22-2007, 06:42 AM

I died 3 years ago yesterday - I just looked up my first post - which wasn't til the 24th. Furnny really - It took me 3 years from playing with Mad libs to join the forum then 3 days to post even in the quiz room ... and even longer to post on Books I think - but I haven't tracked that down yet

Rune Son of Bjarne · 05-22-2007, 10:44 AM

In that case: Happy Death Day Mith !

At least here you are not growing any older, just decaying a bit more!

Kath · 05-22-2007, 11:00 AM

Ah I'm sorry Mith! Happy deathday.

Glad you've enjoyed them all so far and let us hope you have many, many, many more! The 'Downs wouldn't be the same without you.

Mithalwen · 05-22-2007, 11:38 AM

Well I still reckon I can deduct my years dead from my years lived so I am infact the same age as when I joined the downs..and shall remain so!!!

Thank you both

Thinlómien · 05-24-2007, 01:32 AM

Belated deathday congrats, Mith. Let's indeed hope thre will be many, many more deathdays to come for you!

Brinniel · 06-10-2007, 12:53 AM

I missed my deathday by a few days. But I promise I didn't forget...I was away on vacation in Georgia. Anyways, I may be late, but I will still celebrate. Five years is certainly a long time, though I'm not sure if all those years count since I was away part of that time. Oh well...the main point is that I came back, and I'm quite glad of that.

Kath · 06-10-2007, 03:11 PM

Five years, another impressive count! I always forget you've been here for so long. Hope you stay for many more years!

Thinlómien · 06-13-2007, 04:38 AM

Belated deathday congrats, Brinn. It's lovely to have you around here.

Brinniel · 06-14-2007, 01:07 AM

Thank you, Lommy and Kath.

The Barrow Downs have been like a virtual home to me. I still regret ever leaving. Right now, I'm not sure what I would do with myself if it weren't for this wonderful site...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-15-2007, 12:22 AM

Happy Deathday to spawn.

I am quite glad she joined the Downs . . .

Thinlómien · 06-15-2007, 01:29 AM

Happy deathday to spawn! It's lovely to have you around here. Please be here for many years. Ja pssst... kukaan ei panis pahakseen jos taukos loppuis...

Meneltarmacil · 06-25-2007, 12:33 PM

*the ghost of Menel rises from the grave*

On this day in 2003, I joined the ranks of the Dead here. These last four years have been fun. Hopefully, more will follow.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-25-2007, 06:51 PM

4 years that is a lot. .. but not long enough!

You better stay in the barrows and stay dead!

I saw it coming...

A happy (and only very slightly belated ) deathday to my dear Rikae!

May the grass on your barrow grow green for many years to come.

Rikae · 08-26-2007, 12:15 PM

Thag you very buch.

I think I'll take this occasion to point out to all that I was born 21 weeks after Macalaure, and also died 21 weeks after him.

Because I am a creepy stalker like that.

I couldn't have imagined, a year ago, what a wonderful community I'd stumbled into and what amazing people I would meet.

I'll just say a classic "One year is far too short a time to spend among such excellent and admirable wights"...

Firefoot · 08-26-2007, 12:31 PM

Wow, it seems like you've both been around much longer than just a year. Happy (rather belated, perhaps, to Mac) deathday to you both!

Thinlómien · 08-26-2007, 12:33 PM

Belated congrats to you both! Please stick around for many more years!

HerenIstarion · 09-23-2007, 09:49 AM

Seven... a rather curious number and a very respectable age for a deadnight chanter...

Thinlómien · 09-23-2007, 02:21 PM

Indeed. HUGE congratulations to you, Heren!

May there be seven times seven more years for you here!

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-24-2007, 02:40 AM

Congratulations, HI! Far and few, far and few are the forum members who can claim such longevity here.

Mithalwen · 09-24-2007, 05:39 AM

Belated congratulations to HI.

I am still grateful for the encouragement you gave me in the early days of my death and am sorry you are not around so much - though I know it is for good reasons. Also thanks to you I have been able to impress my rugby mad family with my knowledge of the Georgian game

***Mister Underhill*** · 09-24-2007, 09:08 AM

My compliments as well, HI. Come to think of it, I turned seven earlier this month too. An auspicious number! Seven stars and seven stones, and seven years of dirt and bones. Or something like that.

Kath · 09-24-2007, 09:09 AM

Well then a belated happy deathday to HI and to Mr Underhill. May your deaths be long and fruitful.

It is funny how we forget Deathdays as they (at least forum wise) should be more important than birthdays, at least that is how I have always looked at it.

It is funny that even though my approach is that deathdays are more important, I am always more nervouse that non notices my birthday. I even forgot my own deathday earlier this month.
