The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Not sure why I never noticed your birthday and our wedding anniversary are only a day apart, Marc. Tomorrow, Ann and I will be married 48 years and to think you were only 17 at that time. ;)
Happy pre-anniversary, Don.

Happy Birthday Marc! Welcome to the club........
Thanks, Rp, but as Groucho once said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

Happy Birthday Marc! may you have many more.

And congratulations, you are now a novice senior citizen
Thanks, Bill.

So, how is Life treating you these days?

Time to call it a night. Thanks, once again, to one and all for the birthday wishes. Can't say that I feel much older than I did yesterday. Maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Paix, mes amis.

Morning all. One of our older doxies, Abby, was having bad dreams a little while ago which got me up. Now she is sound asleep once again and I am wide awake. :(

Morning all. I am glad to see my post getting in. When I sent it it just sat there until my machine timed out. Was posting slow here yesterday?

Don I loved the senior and the lawyer story....was that for Marc's benefit now that he's a club member?????

Well off to work I go just wanted to say a quick hello.

Wow, I can finally post here.

I tried multiple times yesterday without luck except some database error at best and had to give up.

Anyway, I thought yout birthday was Tuesday or Thursday for some reason, but I didn't notice any mention of Screech being served with your birthday cake.

I would have thought that would be traditional, or a nice change. ;-)

So let's see if this post will go through, even if I have to wait two+ minutes or longer!!!!
