For the Fallen But Not Forgotten of TORC II So many people have come and gone in the seven years I have been at TORC, I miss some of you so much and wonder if you ever think of us too?? Terry D, where are you? Wingy? Gwendalar? sweet sweet Gwendalar?? The Gentleman??? so many many more, I figure you are just roaming around this universe and someday we will bump into each other again.. If you are missing someone, please leave them a message.. Here is mine: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The myriad stars that shine at Universe TORC, are dimmed to mere points of light...diminished from our sight.... A handful of precious gems glitter a planet aligns, in perfect harmony one with the cosmos, sychronosity.. And one by one they fall.... burning, churning masses to the earth, no longer stable.. Hurtling through the atmosphere To touchdown in our hearts, tease and surround us with creations fire.. Forlornly, she looks into the abyss to glimpse her cherished spark But it is the rogue star, the wanderer Molting its charisma on lesser orbs... In bold and startling anguish She turns and sets the star free Outward it travels, unaware of her tears and loss, it only knows self.. Fly on, fly high and fly far, may my brief embrace keep you soaring, unfettered and free.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Raven sending warmest healing and missing hugs to you now and everyday until you return to us. 143 For Vanadarlin', Aerin, Jae, heliona, Runie, Inky, B25, and all others who have kept this thread alive for six years. I thank you and let us make the second edition as great as the first. It is sort of sad to see the first thread go, but I know many people returned and posted there. So that is a good thing. heliona thank you for the suggestion to post the link to the original thread in this one incase people are looking for someone who posted there. Original The Fallen But Not Forgotten from TORC

Love is as big or as little as a hug!!

I will always treasure and remember your appreciation. Thank you. -2007 WCA's
Overwhelmed by your support and appreciation. Thank you. - 2008 WCA's

The Expected Party!! is now on the road to Gondor to celebrate. Join us.

Also trying to get Tyg and Maedhros wed.

and getting into trouble with Rally The Eldar.

Time out of Mind, forever bound to my Knight Ayslhyn

Wayhay. A shiny new thread! I'm just back from the Oxford Moot - what a blast! to everyone. Hey, rwhen, why don't you put a link to the old thread in your first post, in case anyone wants to look back through it.

Jae at least she is back home now and probably will start to recover her strength slowly. It IS a slow process. My father had a quad bypass and he was slow for months. I know your mom was different, but Vanadarlin' could vouch that it takes a long time. You didn't kill that thread. I really need to get my buns back there and get a post up. The thread moves slowly, but I will post to the OOC, just to get those fires stirred up a bit. Caio. TNT Hmmm. Your grand daughter and I have the same name. I am sure they don't know about you and probably best.

I have read and enjoyed the previous thread a lot every time when making a short return after a long disappearance. Just wanted to pop in to wish you all well and to let it be known this place and many of its people haven't been forgotten by me. Keep the thread alive Rwhen, it's a beacon.

thanks dear friend Maeglin. Yes, it is a special thread for me and I hope this next generation will last another 6 years. Remembered friends will stop by, maybe stay a bit too...nudge But mostly a place to keep the home fires burning. Great to see you here again!!

Hey, The Real Maeglin, you are also not forgotten, for who could forget you, even if they tried? I am now on my first day off work and am relaxing and enjoying the ability to sleep in, as my previous days off work didn't involve a lot of sleep! (But lots of laughter and drink in a beautiful city, so I can't complain!)

Well well well, I was just going to put a post up saying how much I missed: Matrim The Real Maeglin and Lysandros and one of the names pops up!! to Maeglin, glad to see you're still starting fires . . . rwhen, you know of course, that women never get older, they just get better.

to fire starting Maeglin. Well, as long as it is small and you put it out behind you!!! SCRIBBLES!!! You know I met Matrim when the second movie came out on DVD. We had a sleep over at Vana and Guru's and he was there. He posted a short time after that and then POOF. I THINK he is overseas in the military. I will take ya up on that pointy sword if necessary. Thanks for posting. Sending warmest missing wishes from Scribbles to Matrim and Lysandros and The Real Maeglin. Here is hoping that you will join us in the warm waters of TORC again very soon.

Ah two of the finest examples of females upon the boards. (Notice I didn't say Ladies so that Scribbles wouldn't deem it necessary to hurt me with her steel mouth piece there!) Yeah Scribbles I wish that silly sailor would come back too!! We have missed seeing him now for the last couple of summers. I don't think I have seen or talked to him since the last time I saw you hon!! There at the ferry terminal. Rwhen it was a sleep over wasn't it?? I forgot about that part. I knew you both came over and we played games and watched the movies or something on tv. It was grand!!!

Vanadarlin' , yeppers, I slept on the squishy foam stuff and I think Matrim left very late or early in the morning. I know that it was for TTT the EE and yourself, Guru and I stayed up watching the extra CD's til like 4am and we crashed. I also remember getting up VERY early the next morning to drive back down to Oregon, I was living in Lake Oswego then, at least another hour from where I am now. It was a great and fun time, thank you for your hospitality, as ever.

"steel mouthpiece"? ROFL!! Well, that's a new one . . . and I like it. And you haven't seen Matrim since we were all at that SCA Event with elengil? Woaaahhhh, that's a couple of years now . . . I hope he and his wife are doing okay. rwhen, Matrim came back from overseas a few years ago, left the military and then, I think, went back into it but into a different branch? Vana can probably get the story straighter than I can, LOL . . . I surely do miss that cheeky monkey. Ah well, time and tide waits for no man and life's currents sometimes take us away . . . c'est la vie I guess. But it's nice to remember folks.

Waves back at Maeglin Matrim did get out of the military or the branch he was in and tried to make it as a civilian but he missed it too much. So he was going to try to be a Ranger but for some reason, don't remember, that fell through. He joined up but can't remember which branch and was sent to Korea. That is the last I heard!!
