Birthday thoughts for Lizzytysh and Tweets

[lizzytysh]

You're funny, Kush ~ and thank you for your well wishes.

Of course, you realize that my and Paula's armour was recently found all in a pile, cluttering one of the palace's corners, and all four appendages proved to be rusted from the elbow to the finger. However, some jars of vibrant, fresh gooseberry jam were found nearby on a table of white linen, decorated with flowers from the meadow. One jar had been opened and two, lovely china plates held spots of jam and some crumbs.
A single, round bladed butter knife was found lying between the two. It appeared very much to be a good sign.

One never knows what another day may bring in other directions. Fire never appears by intent, by rather by outgrowth and perhaps some spontaneous combustion. No doubt swords elsewhere will cross in the future. We've taken the path of conversation....and a lovely one at that.

Thanks, Kush.

Yes, Byron, and I'm proud to find myself in such fine Piscean company as
Tweety Sue. That's a most appropriate and wonderful suggestion of how to spend one's birthday, Byron. Even though I talked with my Mom this morning, I will call her tonite to thank her in that way. Thank you for your fine compliments, Byron [as long as you understand that not all ~ possibly even few ~ may agree with you ~ at least as regards one ]. Ahhh, well, remember Jo's sage advice and all will be well. Thank you, again, Byron for your typically thoughtful response.

Dear jurica, of the male gender ~

Thank you for your happy birthday wishes from Croatia, where I pray you may live in peace and safety.

Dear Pete,

I want to give a special thank you for the time and thought you put into your happy-go-lightly poem for me and Sue. I loved how you played with our names and used emoticons for words. Your poem made me feel appreciated, and I appreciate that. Sprightly.....and so you .

Thank you .

Love,
Elizabeth

Dear Sue ~

The stained glass of which Jo speaks says it all. With rare exception, your warm and quiet presence is a comfort to all who visit there. The glow that can be relied upon, the accepting acknowledgement that stands alone and true. That which does not require light to be shone, to shine from within. To my other lady of the ether celebrating her birthday within proximity, I wish you a heartfelt Happy Birthday, three days early, Sue .

With much love,
Elizabeth

Dear Andrew ~

The time has come.....your poem received, my promise kept. Secure and protected lies the tale of a beautiful life. My 1000th posting; my birthday; the movie release of Leonard's book "The Favourite Game;" and Partisan's greeting by proxy; and all of these wonderful birthday wishes.

A thousand times I've had my say ~ oftimes to agree or lavish praise. Some fire burns deep, but the heat is real. You've had your say, too ~ poetry your way. I've loved them all and I've told you so. Those of many others I've loved, as well ~ we've shared in that, you know that, too. May you continue to bring your beautiful poetry to the Forum and elsewhere in the world. I'm glad we've met.

Leonard's work led me to this medium of the ether. I came, I found, I fell in love. Thank you to Jarkko, my Marie Mazur, and dear Judith, too. For all the precious others I've met through here, I'm so glad I have. Were it not for Sony, I'd have found none of you......all the while, passing through. For enriching my life far beyond, and in many more ways, than I ever could have imagined, thank you, Leonard Cohen. My gratitude rests in my heart, forevermore, 1000 kisses deep.

Thank you .

Love,
Elizabeth Bacon-Smith

Thanks for your birthday greeting, Eve......chocolate, german chocolate, or carrot ~ which will it be? We had to let the twin status go due to the time differential....we'll just go with kindred-spirit sisters .

Nice to see you here,

Dear Elizabeth,
Thankyou for posting your 1000th message to me. I am honoured, humbled and delighted. I didn't know it was your birthday..you should tell me more about things like that, pre-warn me the next time. Today is my mother's birthday; she is 82, pissed off with her inability to march in protest ( or even go to the shop). I posted her a birthday card: sometimes I write a haiku , but this time I wrote "I love you,then, now ,and always".

The world is divided in two: those who have mothers, and those who don't.
The world is divided in two: those who divide the world in two, and those who don't.
The world is divided in ten: those who understand the binary system, and those who don't.
It's getting late: I have work tomorrow,
As aye, Andrew.

Dear elazar ~

Thank you for your incredible compliments. I have no idea how to respond, except to say that I am also very glad I have met you . As my birthday fades into the first day of the next year of my life, I want you to know that if you visit the Chatroom, you will inevitably meet Sue. You'll recognize her by her Tweets disguise. It's peaceful with her there. Thank you so much for your birthday wishes .

Dear Andrew ~ My pleasure.

Drat with those Edit lines. I realized that I needed to put in a Subject line, or the 1000th would not remain attached to my posting. Then a couple other minor changes occurred to me. I didn't change a word to Sue's, but clicked on hers in error, meaning it to be yours. Sure enough, there came the Edit line when I clicked back out of it. These computer programs ~ whatcha gonna do.

Won't need to pre-warn you next time....you know now. So, not knowing just how the GMT aligns with various countries, your posting that says your mother's birthday is "today" is dated the 21st. However, I know it could still be the 20th when you wrote that. Which is your mother's birthday? I am even more struck by your very cool mother that she still desires to protest and that she loved Leonard, whilst being in her late 40s and early 50s, back when he first sang Suzanne. A beautiful, simple message you wrote her. Words any mother would love to hear.

Your new form of worldly division...fun to read and interesting to ponder. Sleep well. Please tell your mother that I said "Happy Birthday" and her spirit still marches strong.

Dear Elizabeth,
My mother is 82, today, February 21st. She still thinks I look like Leonard Cohen. Mind you, she thinks that all of her children and grandchildren are drop-dead gorgeous. Carrying on a family tradition, I too think that all my children are beautiful. I guess that's what mums and dads are for!
I am in an unusually good mood right now:
I have a glass of red wine beside me, I am having (brief) unrestricted access to the computer, and my football team, Glasgow Celtic, won a memorable European victory last night. I guess I'm easily pleased!
Yours, as aye, Andrew.

[lizzytysh]

Well, Andrew, you just never know.....maybe she's right, your mum about her family line. Congratulations on the Celtic's victory. I'm pretty easily pleased myself. I'm still very impressed by her love of Leonard at the age she encountered him. Not that it surprizes me in itself, but thinking back to where the heads were at of most people that age when I first encountered him. So she's on the cusp of Pisces, too. It sure sounds like you came from good stock .....and had the good sense and upbringing to carry on that tradition, as well.

Happy Birthday, Sue!!!

We'll never see you here, though if we look above, we may see you flitting through the trees seeing us. We know you're not the Tweety seeking Hydra/Leonard/father information elsewhere in here. You reside in another realm provided us by Jarkko ~ and anyone who goes is sure to meet you there.

The delightful person they'll find will be you, with quiet, gentle demeanour; unassuming ways; and equal treatment of all who come there. You're the sunshine glowing from within and lighting upon those who might otherwise remain in the shadows. Many a refrain marking a quick entry and exit has been, "Have you seen Tweets?" or "I was just looking for Sue." Your lovely presence is appreciated and treasured by so many. There's nothing like the feeling of safety in an unsafe world.

Happy Birthday, dear lady, dear woman, dear friend.

Love,
Elizabeth
