That would be a great boon if you were to do that, Mrs.Underhill.

Hmmm. Unless my memory is really gone, I do believe I was scheduled to meet Mrs Underhill at the Museum of Science for the LOTR exhibition some years ago. Of course like usual I failed to actually make the event.

We went to the Exhibition with Tata Bolger, couple of years ago. But my memory is now hazy. I don't recall if anyone else went with us, or was going too. Maybe you were known by some other honorable name then? :)

No I've been this name for nearly 8 years on TORC, so perhaps I have you mixed up with someone else.
I blame Prim and the endless thrashings at her hand for jumbling my memory so.

It hardly required being slapped with a salmon to jumble your memory, Holby dear.

We are all getting old fast. :D
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Oh, maybe you aren't, Madam Mahima, but some of the rest of us are tottering a bit! :D

I just turned 30, sweetie. Somedays I feel it.

If *I* felt 30 again, I'd be leaping about the room without a single thought of how I was going to hurt the next morning. Old indeed!

Glad to know we span the ages here. We span waistlines and political leanings, too. :D

Hmm...Orodreth111... sounds familair somehow...do I know you?? :scratch:





:D

Well, well, what a surprise! Welcome, Oreo! I hope you enjoy your time here, and have fun catching up with old friends and acquaintances who no longer post on TORC.

Pull up a chair, kick off your shoes, and relax... :cheers:
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Welcome to the Hall of Fire, orodreth111.

It's nice here. You'll like it.

But watch out for that woman with the fish. Man, she's brutal.

Hello, all. I'm not exactly new... but I thought I'd say hi here first after being gone so long :).
