[rachel]

I rejoice with all of you, you are all so dear. And Eva I have missed you so much.
I am celebrating the fact that any injury I sustained to my foot and leg and which prevented me from dancing has finally healed and I can go back to my beloved dance without excruciating pain. I am so grateful, so grateful and pray that anyone with a debilitating injury would be healed of it. :banana:

[simon]

Hey I just finished two term papers too, but they are only 15 pages each not a whopping 22. The feeling is spectacular, all done and one entire chocolate car consumed at warp speed to make up for lost sugars.

[kilted exile]

I gave a presentation for the managers of a company that make protective coatings today (they want to get into the municipal market) I think they liked the presentation, at least they asked for copies of it to use in their research.

[emily655321]

Congratulations, everyone! I don't have anything impressive to announce, myself.

Rachel, I'm so glad your foot/leg has healed! That's wonderful. *hugs*

Here are some tea cookies for everyone to enjoy:

Wow, you've put your time away from us to good use. Congratulations on all counts. Good luck with the Uni application.

BTW, do they call it "the driver's theory" test in UK? Sounds kind of intellectual. We just call it the written part of the driver's test. Or at least I'm not aware of any official name.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

[IrishCanadian]

Hey, thanks guys! I didn't know Sub was gone ... by the way we should celebrate his birthday. But We can do that in a different thread if you like because he's worth it. ;)

[Rachy]

I got a payrise at work and I'm moving on from my ex-boyf. I got asked out on a date by an old friend :D Yay. xxx

[Virgil]

Congrats on both counts. A pay raise is nice, but a new boyfriend is even nicer!

[Riesa]

:lol: Have you ever had a new boyfriend, Virg? ;)

Congrats everybody for all your reasons to celebrate! Nice to see you back, IrishCanadian.

[Virgil]

:lol: Have you ever had a new boyfriend, Virg? ;)

Congrats everybody for all your reasons to celebrate! Nice to see you back, IrishCanadian.
:lol: I have never had a single boyfriend! Thank God. You must have the latest Sopranos episode on your mind.

[subterranean]

Thank you for making a birthday thread for Sub. She's very happy reading it ;)

[Scheherazade]

:lol: I have never had a single boyfriend! Thank God. You must have the latest Sopranos episode on your mind.They were all married??? :goof:

Disclaimer: Haven't watched any Sopranos episodes.

[Stanislaw]

They were all married??? :goof:

Disclaimer: Haven't watched any Sopranos episodes.

:D er, not exactly...there be a case o some gender based things er the such.

[ElizabethSewall]

Let's celebrate my third day spent without sleeping! :D

[Petrarch's Love]

Heavens! Elizabeth, why are you going without sleep? Maybe you should log off right now and try and get yourself some rest my dear. :as-sleep:

[ElizabethSewall]

Now that the strike is over in France we have to make up for all the knowlegde missed. So we must work harder than ever. But I promise I will get some rest tonight, thank you dear.
The LitNet relaxes me for now! :cool:

[SleepyWitch]

I just got a promotion at work..Nothing fancy, but it compensate the sweats I had in the last few months..

So, yea..I feel kind of kewl about it ;)

wow, that's cool :) congrats
i wish i could get a promotion.. something like instant promotion from lowly student to renowned professor would be cool :) or potentially: ruler of the universe... nah, I don't wanna be either .... but instant promotion to QTS (qualified teacher statues) would be cool

Elizabeth I'm glad to hear that French schools/teachers are still a tiny bit more crazy than German ones. it's a great comfort ;) GET SOME SLEEP! :as-sleep:

[ElizabethSewall]

I'm glad to hear that French schools/teachers are still a tiny bit more crazy than German ones. it's a great comfort ;)
Hehe, glad I made you glad! ;)

[Stanislaw]

Strikes eh...the Teachers did that to me when I was in Grade 12...me last year...I was a little upset, but in the end it all worked out, and the gov. screwed the teachers, and the students, and the future students, and the student's parents, and their dogs too, but what the heck!

Hope things work out for you! :thumbs_up

[Virgil]

They were all married??? :goof:

Disclaimer: Haven't watched any Sopranos episodes.
Well, in the last episode, one of the gangsters turns out to have become gay. :brow:

[BTW, I've always wanted to use that brow smiley, but I don't recall ever having a reason to until now.]

[SleepyWitch]

I've got two things to celebrate:
the beginning of summer (well, early summer, late spring) over here and the beginning of the summer term... yep i know it's sad... had a day full of maniac drafting with my friend today, but then, anythings better than holidays when you've got to write term papers, might just as well write them during the term.. at least that way there's no need to feel rotten about your holidays being spoiled by papers...

[Nightshade]

I drove 26 miles today (on dual carrige way!!!) and I did a 3 point turn right off first time :D :banana:

[Scheherazade]

I drove 26 miles today (on dual carrige way!!!) and I did a 3 point turn right off first time :D :banana:WTG, Night! :)

Have you passed your test yet or getting ready for it?

You know, it will bring the 'joy' back into driving to just know that you are out there somewhere driving! :brow: :p

[RobinHood3000]

Elizabeth has hit 1,500 posts!! Woo-hoo!!

[ElizabethSewall]

Milord does me too much honor. :blush: :banana:

[SleepyWitch]

I drove 26 miles today (on dual carrige way!!!) and I did a 3 point turn right off first time :D :banana:

congrats :)
what's a 3 point turn? sounds complicated. I don't drive (--> I'm a weirdo, seeing as everybody else in this country is crazy about driving).
Scher knowing that I d o n' t drive should also contribute to bringing the 'joy' back to driving. people like me are part of the reason academic jobs were invented: to give us an alternative career choice to taxi driving :) otherwise we'd end up as a menace to society :)

[blondeatheart]

hehe i'm happy because this morning i woke up in a good mood which is very strange seeing as i am anything but a morning person and even stranger as it was the first day of school...maybe i was looking forward to seeing my friends, altho i wasn't actually happy, just not sleepy
hmmm...iwonder if this will continue

[Pensive]

Celebrate, baddad showed up!

[rachel]

I AM TOTALLY EXCITED AND THRILLED for my friend Don Gowan.He has laboured for fifteen years or so on his version of Lancelot. His story is rich and sumptuous and goes much deeper on Lancelot and Vivienne, lady of the lake. I couldn't put it down, and I didn't want to leave that glorious world.
well yesterday he wrote me and told me is was just released. it is for sale on line and will be in stores, hard cover. I looked it up and just cried. I couldn't believe it. it is a faerie story in itself-the making of it. So I am rejoicing with him.

[SleepyWitch]

wow, that sounds cool. will it be published by a big publisher or only locally?

tought my first tutorial for this term today :banana:

[Riesa]

Congratulations to me and my tall, dark and handsome husband for sticking to each other for 8 years, happy Cinco De Mayo too!

[smilingtearz]

yay :banana: congrats Riesa...
God Bless the happy pair!

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, congratulations!!

[RJbibliophil]

my confirmation is on sunday, I suppose that is cause for celebration. :)

[Virgil]

Of course it is, piglet. Congratulations.

And you too Riesa, congratulations. Is your aniversary on cinco de mayo?

[AimusSage]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is confirmation?

[RJbibliophil]

It is a church event, in a manor of speaking we are confirming the grace we received in baptism and confirming our Christian faith. We have been studying for 2 years and have learned a lot. There are 13 others in my class. It is not strange to ask. If you have not grown up in a church that confirms people, you would not know.

[AimusSage]

Oh, now I get it, my aunt is doing that next week. Congrats RJ.

Just a quick FYI, I have actually been baptised.

[IrishCanadian]

RJ congradulations! This is such an exciting thing. I suppose you know since you spent so much time preparing for it (i wish we did that much in Canada) but always always remember the blessings you get that day because the Holy Spirit comes in quite handy ... all the time. I mean all the time. Congradulations.

[rachel]

Congratulations to me and my tall, dark and handsome husband for sticking to each other for 8 years, happy Cinco De Mayo too!

Once upon a time there lived a princess called Riesa the Tall and Magnificent and her glorious Prince............................................ ...........................
................AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVERAFTER....

kisses from rachel and baby hasia :wave: :wave:

[RJbibliophil]

Thank you Aimus and Irish! :p Most people are confirmed when they are young, but some are confirmed later in life. It varies.

Congratulations, most marriages can stay together for many happy years, but some want out if the going gets tough. May this never be you Riesa.

[Pensive]

Congratulations!

[rachel]

congratulations little RJ, I was only confirmed four years ago. I hope you had a proper celebration and took lots of pics. you are a very pretty miss.
Aim, you were baptised, in a river, I was, and nearly drowned!

[smilingtearz]

congrats RJ, do put up a pic... you'll look like a princess in white..

[Nightshade]

Congrats!!!

[woeful painter]

Wow, Congrats to all!

Yes, please do put up a pic so we can see you on your confirmation day! :nod:

And Congrats to Resia too! What a strong marriage! How proud I am! I pray it gets stronger year by year and for all time to come! :)

[rachel]

[Virgil]

Hilarious!!! :lol: :lol:

Rachel you know me well.

I was waiting for a good post to make my 4000th. Well here it is. I guess some can celebrate, but it seems to me a reminder how boring my life is.

[RobinHood3000]

Well, he's OLD enough to have been at Woodstock, now isn't he? :p

Congratulations, Virgil!! 4,000 is quite a number.

[ElizabethSewall]

WOW! Congrats! Bananas please: :banana: :banana: :banana: .

[rachel]

I do wonder though how it is that you and Riesa and a few others started after me and have twice the number of posts and sometimes I post a lot.
but here is a glass of the finest Okanagan wine, winner even in France to toast your 400th dear Woodstock. :thumbs_up :banana: kisses, hugs, and hullo to you all of you precious family above, love you everyone.

[woeful painter]

aww,

Eh? He's like woodstock? He's my bestfriend then! :D But indeed, we all care about Virg don't we? :nod:


I guess some can celebrate, but it seems to me a reminder how boring my life is.
Tsk! tsk! I dunno if your sweet little wife would like to hear that ;)

Either way, congrats too!


I do wonder though how it is that you and Riesa and a few others started after me and have twice the number of posts
Have the same question for me and people who came in after me, I just got to my 300th some hours ago :lol:

[Virgil]

Well, he's OLD enough to have been at Woodstock, now isn't he? :p

Congratulations, Virgil!! 4,000 is quite a number.
I was eight years old when Woodstock occured. I was not a flower child. :D

[Pensive]

Hey Virgil! Congratulations!

[SleepyWitch]

RJ is a girl? i thought she was an old bloke.. oops :lol:

two years of confirmation lessons? wow, that's quite a lot.. i think over here it's about half a year, once a week or something... never took any myself

[Riesa]

Hey Thanks all, who congratulated me, marriage is quite an endeavor, but a worthwhile one if you get the right man (or woman, for that matter.)

Virgil, holy post-count! Yay, RJ! Congrats, everybody!

[ElizabethSewall]

:banana: :banana: Let's celebrate, Samercury's exams are over! :banana: :banana:

I'm happy and proud of you, darling. :thumbs_up :cool:

[IrishCanadian]

Well done Samercurry. Great feeling eh?

[Virgil]

But where is Same? I haven't seen her about, even though her exams are over.

[Pensive]

Oh Yeah, we miss you samercury!

Congratulations Pensive! I have to dig up those watery threads to check their progress!

[amanda_isabel]

Celebrate Birthdays of people!

Thank you very much RJ, Irish and Elizabeth!

[RJbibliophil]

Pensive, I am one twentieth of the way there! :D

[RobinHood3000]

Hey, I passed my 4,000th post, and I didn't even notice!!

[Virgil]

Congrats Robin. I'm afraid I'm not in a celebratory mood today. Today was massacre day. Too many good people banned.

[Pensive]

Congratulations Robin though our posts do not matter at all now.

[SleepyWitch]

who' been banned?

[IrishCanadian]

RobinHood3000 has just become Mr 4000!

[Petrarch's Love]

I'm in a celebratory mood today because I just attended my last class session ever (as a student at least). Yes, I still have about a month's worth of writing papers ahead before I'm officially done with coursework, but this was the end of actually attending classes, meaning next year I get to move on to the fun and mysterious "exams" portion of the doctoral odyssey. :banana: Well, just felt like sharing.

P.S. Congrats on all those posts Robin!

[Virgil]

Congratulations Petrarch. That is incredible. You should be very proud of yourself.

[Petrarch's Love]

Thanks Virg. :), although I'm not really a graduate yet, just done with my two years of coursework. It'll be at least another three years until I can put "Dr." in front of my name. I'm done with step one though (step two being to survive my oral exams next year, and step three being to write the dreaded dissertation), and that feels pretty worthy of celebration. It also means I'll get to start teaching/assistant teaching some courses in the college next year, which I'm super excited about.

[Virgil]

Oh, I didn't realize it. It takes forever to get a PhD. Well, it's still an accomplishment.

[RJbibliophil]

You can celebrate with me.

one tenth Pensive :p

[Asa Adams]

let us celebrate the world cup. FIFA!

[Petrarch's Love]

Let's celebrate the Piglet of a thousand posts.:)
