feels the mental vibes Well it brought me here. Now let us see if it brings back our dear CS and Telta!! Miss you both. MATRIM, said it on the other thread, but what a great surprise to see you this morning when I logged on. I will read and get an update in the '02 thread, but Scribbles is right. Anytime is a good time for getting educated. Warm missing hugs for those who are no longer or rarely posting with us on TORC. I put fresh logs on the fireplace and your bed is turned down, cocoa on the nightstand. Come on over, the joint is all cozy and waitin'.

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

IsildursHeir My memories of sharing thoughts with you on TORC are definitely not clouded. Very clear memories they remain. I hope you visit us again. The morgue still regains life...at most random times. Matrim Great to see you again my friend. I remember meeting you in Toronto. You promised to send me a picture of your gauntlets when they were completed...with a horse head motif. No, I have not forgotten. You had glorious gauntlets on and were going to further enhance them. I loved them as they were and through your words to me I felt your looking forward to adding more to them. I have not received the picture yet. Following is my email addy... gsybilwhite@sc.rr.com I would love to see them.

Ahh Frodo, I wish I had a picture of them when I was done. It took me a few years to finally get them done, I was distracted by new obession of fencing, I completed the modifications of them but they were destroyed by the Army during a move.

I fully understand and appreciate distractions / new obessions. But... It took you a few years to get them done then fencing became an obession then Quote: they ( the gauntlets ) were destroyed by the Army during a move. That ain't right!!! Your gauntlets were so cool to see for me and I am saddened by their ( your and my ) loss. I so much enjoyed seeing them and was looking forward to their enhancement. You were so proud of them...I could feel your pride and loved it. Seriously

One of these days when I get settled down back in Washington Im going to set up a tanning and curing shed out back and start doing my own leatherwork. Its not right that they were destroyed but its the nature of the beast when you deal with military moves. Stuff always breaks, you just hope its not somethign you really love.

Matrim - I feel your pain about military moves. It amazes me that they can move entire units overseas without a problem, but couldn't move my household 10 miles without destroying something!

It would be great to see Leoba and Din again. With a new baby, I can imagine that TORC might be the last item on their list of "to do's". Sending warm missing hugs out to those who are rarely or no longer posting with us, I will keep the lights on, just in case you come in late. Drieske and Raven and Hunter I misses you ladies!!

Matrim said... Quote: its the nature of the beast when you deal with military moves. Stuff always breaks, you just hope its not something you really love. I so relate. My dad, while he was in the Coast Guard, had a reel to reel projector with video of early 1960s family reunions...with video of my cousins and I back in our early teens. I remember our aunts and uncles trying with all their might to recapture their youth with us. When we moved ( in the mid 1960s ) from the Philipine Islands back to the United States....the projector and reel to reels were lost. I so wish I could see those silent videos again. The only sounds any of us heard were the so fond to me. The video playing through the reels and my families comments. So much joy. Words fail to relay...fall so very short...my thoughts. I hope you can recapture your gauntlets with your revisiting tanning...curing...leatherwork You were so very proud..I felt it.

~ Hi FT. FT said: When we moved ( in the late 1960s ) from the Philipine Islands back to the United States. Where in the PI? Air Force brat that I am, I lived at Clark AFB in the mid 60's. Fond memories of that place. ~

I so wish I could see those silent videos again. The only sounds any of us heard were and remain so very fond to me. The video playing through the reels and my families comments. My Mom, my Dad, my brothers and sisters voices. No better sounds could I ever have heard. So much joy to me. Words fail to relay and fall so very short of my thoughts and precious memories. Good tears caress my face. So good to see you Hunter ..I shall have to ask my Dad where we once resided in PI. I was so very young then and will admit I don't remember exactly where we lived. I do know we lived off base and that a boy threw a rock over a fence and I did not have the sense to avoid the rock hitting me in the head. I was around 10 years of age at the time and evidently didn't know how to avoid being hit. I still bear the scar proudly to this very day Much love...as always...to Julia

~ rwhen said: Hey Hunter , great to see you, have you heard from Raven at all? Sigh no I haven't rwhen. All I know are the reason she left is what she wrote in the OOC of our story thread. If and/or when she ever decides to come back, (or if she reads this) I hopes she knows that she is missed. ~ Good to see you too FT I was young while there also, but the memories haven't faded too much with age. ~

Hunter, I do hope that she is well. Last she posted, she was pulling through just fine, but I do think on her all the time, especially on this thread for some reason. I will read the OOC and see if I missed something there. Hope you are also well and enjoying the grandbaby (ies?). Mat, no worries. I look forward to the time that you return back to our great state from TX. Good luck with B & N, hope you hear from them right off. Sending warm missing hugs to those who are rarely or no longer post to TORC. You are missing quite the party, so come on back and pop a few balloons, pin the tail on Bill the Pony and enjoy some BBQ Balrog Wings. You are missed.

Damn! I swear I saw a tumbleweed roll by! This place is really dead at night! I picked a great time to start coming by more often. What happened to all of us with no lives who used to gather at night and pass the time?

LOL IH, I think you need the "late night lounge". I think when The Hobbit comes out, we will see a surge in posters here. Good? Bad? We shall see. Sending warm missing hugs out to those who are no longer or rarely posting with TORC, we miss you and hey, there are rubber duckies and battle ships in the bath, the water is warm and I am sure you clean up really fine. So jump in and join the fun.

rwhen - I may have to check it out. And I am not sure if the surge with the Hobbit will be good or bad. I just hope it brings some of my friends out of hibernation.

I used to be part of the late night crew when I was in Guam. Now though I have to be up at 4am so its early nights for me. Maybe when I get out. Ive always been a night owl anyways.

agrees with IH And THIS particular Master Bard to be exact!! Hola on the thread. Matrim, I also get up very early, so early to bed is the motto for me as well. Now that my system is geared that way, I like it. I like getting off work when everyone else is still working. No lines at banks or stores. No traffic. Sending warmest missing hugs to Gwendalar I will never forget you. Wherever you are, I hope life is treating you well and that someday you will find your way back home on TORC. leaves the light on

I run around feeling like I am playign hooky while the rest of the world is at work, though if you ask me before I get a cup of coffee in me, thats another story.

Unfortunately for me coffee is out. I had to give it up around 5 year ago. At first it was hell, but now I only miss it when I smell it brewing. And that is exactly the way I feel, like I am playing hooky while everyone else is working or that I have a secret that they don't get.

LOL Glad to know Im not the only one that feels that way. As for the coffee, I actually just picked it up since starting the morning shift. Its one to two cups a day and then Im done.
