The young perish and the old linger withering
 

Remembering on her birthday, a Downer who took ship far too soon . Gralin you are not forgotten.

Happy Birthday, Thenamir! May your steps lead you back to the Downs occasionally, wherever you may be.

Yes, a very happy birthday to Thenamir! :)

Happy, Happy Birthday to Thenamir!

Happy birthday to Thenamir, and a belated happy birthday to Fordim (who seems to be endowed with hobbitish longevity, if the Calendar is to be trusted:eek:)! (By the way, what happened to your plans to reawaken the Worm of Canonicity?)

Seconded. Heartily. Very, VERY heartily. *Fordim hoists a cup*

Congrats to Thenamir, and belated ones to Fordim who seems to have made amomentary comeback. Cheers! :D

Belated happy birthday to everyone whose birthdays I missed!

Thanks to all for remembering my hatch-day! I still get regular post updates from the fora to which I have subscribed, and wish I could spend more time at the Downs contributing instead of just reading. Alas, real life is a bear at the moment, and I am involved in many projects for my church, in addition to teaching a beginners' singing class.

I just wanted to drop a quick note in to say all of you are loved and missed!

Happy Birthday to the one and only Firefoot! Hope you have a great day!

Seconded! :) I wish she was around more.

Happy birthday, Lalwendë!

Hope all is well with you and your family!

Indeed. Happy birthday, Lal!

And happy birthday, Di, wherever you are.

A very happy birthday to Lalwende and Diamond!

Hehe happy birthday to two gorgeous cat owners :D (almost wrote "kath owners" :rolleyes: :D)

Happy birthday Lal!

Happy birthday Lalwende.

Happy Birthday Lal!!

Happy Birthday Lalwende and Diamond18!

Happy birthday, Lal!

Again! Happy Birthday Lalwende! :D

Happy Birthday to mark12_30!

Hope you had a great day! (or are in the middle of one, depending on your time zone)

A happy and suitably crazy birthday to Hookbill, from a recently converted P&A fan!
And horribly belated best wishes to mark12_30!

Yes, Happy Birthday to the ol' Goomba, Hookbill.

A Very Happy Birthday to the King of Mirth himself, Hookbill the Goomba!

Happy Birthday Hookbill! Please don't eat Alien's special recipe cake.

Hookie! Happy birthday! Please don't eat anything Alien eats or makes. :D

Many happy returns, Hookbill.

Looks like I'll have to get a stomach pump then. :(

Thank you all. I plan on spending today staring at ants. Fun times. :p

Happy birthday Hookbill.

Happy birthday, Hookie! And I (not Alien, certainly not) made you a cake! *shoves it at you, cackles, wishes she could have found a suitably awkward cake image on google* Enjoy! ;)

Happy Birthday Hookbill! I thought about sending you poisoned biscuits but decided you would like them too much. ;) Many happy returns!

Here is my traditional Thank You to those who wished me Happy Birthday and who I probably forgot it when it was their birthday :(

I always remember Diamond18's though, because only the best people are born on that day of the year ;)

Aaaah, Cookbill... belated happy birthday...

Happy Birthday, Lindale!

And belated best wishes to Hookbill!

Best wishes to Lindale!

Happy Birthday, Lindale!

How's it going with Strindberg?

Belated congrats to Mark and Hookbill (*offers the latter some waspcake* :p) and in-time congrats to Lindale! :)

I love you guys. 19 this year... usually my birthday falls on an exam day, but today due to the floods of typhoon Ketsana teachers postponed everything... I don't know if that's a good thing though, but anyway... I got a new pink laptop! Top of the line (last year, at least), and very small and handy. 10 hours battery life, that's a very good thing after a laptop that has only three hours battery.

Strindberg is a nightmare, Skippy, but then I think everybody's thesis is a nightmare.

A very happy birthday to Lindale! Hope your next year is grand!
