It was like turning the key for the last time to a beloved cottage….

Aug 25, 2005 23:16

Today, after fretting about it for a month or two, I cancelled my Premiere Membership to TORc. It was far more emotional for me than I had anticipated, even as the diehard fan I have been. I felt as though I had experienced a death.

Mechtild, It's a sad, but true saying that "all good things must come to an end". It has been a pleasure posting with you (and probably still will be for a while in the future) in TORC ( ... )

Maewyn, good morning, and thanks for speaking. I have so much appreciated the way you were willing to hang in there and give it your "college try." And, yes, I am sure I will still post there, but I won't put the kind of effort I did into all this time, especially these last several months. I am going to try and just let it be whatever it is going to be. Perhaps it will, in a state of relative dormancy, actually attract a new set of posters, looking for such a home with room to spare.

As for being to old, I must share this image with you. I was looking in kindling's LJ (hers is a strongly-EW centered LJ), to ask if I could use one of her racy icons that really makes me snort. (See bottom of post.) While I had her User Info window open, I saw the following image. I traced it to its source on the web, and it is from an artist named Anne Tainter. Her specialty seems to be affixing amusing texts to older photos, mostly from the forties and fifties. Here's a link to her site: there are many humorous gems ( ... )

How appropriate, yes! One of my friends has a birthday next week. While I was browsing around in the card shop today, I found a display with lots of funny fridge magnets. I couldn't resist one that said,

"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional".

How true! It shall be on its way to her on Monday! I know she'll appreciate it.

And that icon, well yes...! (where are the emoticons!) I need one with googly eyes! I'll just have to have a look at pocket_icon's site!

Hmmm! I just got the note that you replied, Maewyn, and I see my icons all fell out! I will have to check on that. So much for pocket_icon's icon. The crotch shot was found at kindling's site. Here's the full picture. I swear, I never would have noticed, but her little icon is quite provocative ( ... )

You got refrigerator magnets like that? How cool!

Yes, they even had one that said something along the lines of "Women don't have hot flashes. They have power surges." Don't you love it!

mechtild August 27 2005, 21:38:57 UTC

Ha! That's great! That's a neat icon, Maewyn. Who made it?

maewyn_2 August 28 2005, 01:36:56 UTC

It's one of pocket_icon's. Isn't it beautiful? I just love Blue Frodo!

mechtild August 28 2005, 01:48:08 UTC

Oh, pocket_icon! Of all the "icon artists" I have yet looked at for Frodo pieces, her gallery is the most full of ones I would want to use. That is gorgeous, Maewyn. P.S. Scroll down to the bottom. Our Bree just posted. I think you will want to read it.
