Just a little hello from an old friend...

[made of stone]

Tadaima!!

I'm sure most of you fine members won't remember me, but equally it's a very comfortable feeling to know that one or two of you will

I didn't really have any choice but to take a break from my beloved Jref for a while some time back due to certain circumstances that crept up on me quite suddenly. All is well now, and I've been able to return at last, and would love to say a huge 'hullo' to everyone once again and just to share a smile with you all, so here it is hehe

I've missed all my friends here, so it's a great pleasure to step back into 'your' world for a brief moment, perhaps, and to create this thread. I've missed (most of!) you very much indeed, but would just like to mention particularly one or two folk who I probably owe at least an apology to for suddenly shooting off and not replying to (and in no particular order)...

To dear Trisha, sister Earth, what an admirable spirit!!

Dear Sara, always fighting for us to care for the World we live in and just think -for once - about things we take for granted, a guiding light

Pachipro san, I missed a fantastic opportunity to engage you further about the possible psychotropic origins of both religions and aliens. I hope to get back to that one day!

Undrentide san, such a remarkable person. All I can say is that I admire you immensely, please write whenever you feel a need to

And whether we do actually get to meet eventually (and I will try to move heaven, or at least my own stony personage, to do so, one day soon!) dear Mars Man. A very big shout out to you my friend from the rainy, windswept valleys of Chaucer-land

No replies expected or necessary, in fact quite the reverse. The pleasure in this thread has been all mine!!

 

[undrentide]

Hi made of stone, a huge okaerinasai/welcome back to you!

I'm really happy to see you back to JREF!

 

[Grandpa Frank]

It's always nice.........................

to have a family member return home.Welcome back and pull a chair up next to the fire while I make you a cup of tea.


Uncle Frank

Thank you so very much my friends, it's so nice you saw my thread and that you were the very first ones to reply, it means an awful lot to me! :joyful:

 

[Goldiegirl]

MOS it's great to have you back! I made a few changes...I figure a new avatar with a new name. I love it! Many thanks. GG

Thank you so much my friend, and very sorry not to have replied to your last message all those months ago, but I know you'll understand. And I'm so proud you took up Sister Earth - it's beautiful and I think it's just your spirit. You made me quite tearful, actually (but that's just silly, sentimental me, haha)

 

[Goldiegirl]

no apologies needed, but humbly accepted. I understood then.... I too have found a new outlook. life is good!

 

[Sarapva]

Hello again, Made of Stone! Glad to see you back, and thank you for your nice comments. You're a breath of fresh air here!

 

[Goldiegirl]

Hey Sara! Love the rabbit avatar!

 

[Sarapva]

Thanks, GG! I think it says all I want to say about the world - and your avatar complements it!

 

[made of stone]

Ah I'm so very happy, thank you guys, means so much to hear from you all again

 

[Davey]

Not that I am a fine member, but I do of course remember you Made of Stone. It's good to have you back again on the forum, and I hope you wont stay away this long again in the future

Thank you my friend ,though you are undoubtedly fine, there's no doubt of that!!

How's the summer weather in lovely Hyogo ken this year? And how have those marvellous Tigers been doing recently? I guess it must be about time for the high school baseball at Koshien, so long now since I rode down there on my bike, along the Mukogawa. Happy days

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Hey, look who's back!

Made of Stone!

Welcome back to the world of Jref! It wasn't the same without you, and doubtless you will see that it has changed a bit, but all the same, you have put a smile on this unhappy face!

 

[made of stone]

You are too kind dear Mikawa san, but I'm very happy to be back with you, and that so many old friends are still on here, sharing life I'm sorry to hear your usually mile-wide grin is temporarily a little lower right now than it might be...I will do anything I can to try to hoist it back up, any requests (preferably no egg juggling though!)?

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Not even just one egg?:49:

 

[made of stone]

One egg is probably ok...even I could probably manage that (I must emphasise the 'probably' there though!!) If it really would cheer you up though, I might get in touch with this chap, and see if he'll take on an apprentice:



:49: :49: :49:

 

[undrentide]

I think a hard boiled egg will do a trick! ;-)
(And you can eat it afterwards instead of wasting it... haha)

That is a star suggestion kind miss, thank you!

 

[Pachipro]

Wow a blast from the past! I missed you and wondered what happened to you. Looking forward to the discussions on the origins of religions and aliens again if we can find a way to resurrect it (pun intended). I'm glad things have worked out for you and all is well again.

 

[epigene]

Thanks for coming back mos-san!

Hope to hear more of you here!!

 

[made of stone]

Thank you so much Pachipro, epigene, everyone for the lovely welcome back

I shall perservere with the egg juggling for our good friend Mikawa, and will probably continue my progress reports on a new thread 'Anyone for scrambled eggs?' hehe.

See you all around the threads!!

 

[mrs.Kamono]

I just love the feeling of love. A big Pink/blue warm fuzzy for everyone! Gosh I really mean that . This seems to be quite a positive and very interesting group of people, and I am soooooooooo glad that I stumbled/fell on to this site.
Thank You for being here people. Yea! For real!!!!!!!!!
B.

 

[Goldiegirl]

Hey is that white star thing an egg?:49: I've been meaning to ask that for some time....If it is, can you share the secret on how they made it?

 

[mrs.Kamono]

Darn wish I would have thought of that!
