Ah, Germany. What a wonderful place. Are you watching any football matches!? How exciting. If you take a roadtrip, be sure you go on the Romantic Road and make it all the way down to Fuessen to see Neuschwanstein.
Well, that's a shame, there goes my worthy opponent. 
Don't you have a computer at your home?

Well, I certainly have a computer right now! I'm home all right, and I mean really home, not in some hotel in Germany.
And I did go to Neuschwanstein. It is truly like a fairy tale. I mean, how can you be in Stuttgart and not go to Neuschawnstein? I got a keychain there (expensive, but I hardened my heart) of King Ludwig II and his castle. We alos saw Hohenschwanstau (is that how you spell it?). Another pretty castle, but a part of it was undergoing construction, so it's not that pretty.
I enjoyed my trip thoroughly. Thanks guys, and now be glad I'm back for good.

Yay! I actually got an award for something *gasp* - though i guess it doesn't really hold any degree of great merit, but still, I'm glad to have been mentioned and in the spirit of gratitude: I hereby present Cloveress with the "Greenest Award"
Thank for the award Cloveress !!!
I'm a mother of 4 so I guess I'm not a "new"mom
it's just that Grondy called me a he in a thread so I had to explain and therefore he sometimes name me mother mellon

Thanks again. For sure Clover, we are in the Planet because we enjoy listening, reading and playing with words. But most of all because forever young master JRRT gave us his marvellous world of Tolkien.

Aww, just like in that movie It takes two.
Thank you, most modestly, thank you, for the Greenest Award. It is, I think, the first award I've been given. I am proud...Oh but I think one of my aloe veras are dying, dearie dearie....
And Naira! You must have been away for quite a time! I don't recall seeing you anytime before...Oh well, you certainly seem to be breathing life back into our Tolkien related threads again. Congrats on that!
Loss, you know some awards are largely based on my imaginations of your personas. And thank you for the nickname. LA_86 used to call me something quite similar, something that is Clever Lass without an L. Both of you are horribly witty. Paired up? Moi et toi? When's the wedding, dear?
Mellon, I never expected it of you! Four? And here was me thinking you were still a teen...
Rafael, love seeing you in the threads. You do speak funny.
Oh, but yes, back to dancing in the kitchens of the Khazad Dumish...seeya Grondy! Wheeeee!

Quite a long time, yes!
Now I'm back and I want to reply to these old posts that no one has replied, so forgive me if you see Last Post by - and 'Naira' is everywhere! 
Teen ? Ereinion is my one and only son !!! And I've got 3 daugthers ( Nina 15 1/5 . Emil (Ereinion) 12 , Lisa soon 10 and Tina soon 7 )Yeah they sure make me like a teen sometimes heh ? Something is true though You are NEVER older than you feel !! Thank s again Clover for letting me feel like a youth again and I'm very joyfull indeed

she is not 15 and a half...
I reckon Mellon is one of the oldest teens in her family, but I'm told she was very, very, very young when she was born.
Clover: which do you prefer??? Clever Lass or Clever @$$???
NO WAY!!! I thought that we were all born old!!!
As Mildred B. Vermont once said;
Im sure that Mell loves all her children, no matter how old or how many, and thus reciprocated back

Ah, I see. So Ereinion is your daughter? Wow, I never suspected that. You know, I always thought she was a guy, because of the name...
Still, it's nice to see you back and youthful and blasting us all with energy. Ah, you know, sometimes even the young ones like us get so tired and we need that spark from our venerable elders.
Don't worry Naira. I seriously doubt you will be able to fill everything with "Naira" with so many dedicated fool-arounds here.

I have an award for the best "ME". And obviously, the award goes to.. myself! You can tell I'm so in love with myself 
Falling so deeply in love with yourself my be the safest. You are sure to find no rivals, aint you? For someone that's an award in itself!!
And it allows the young ladies to sigh in relief.

What do you mean by "used to", eh? And "Most gifted at leaving" too. Anyhow, as the last line of LOTR goes "Oh well, I'm back!". Or was that without the "Oh"? I guess its time I read it again.
You old rascal! Scalleywag! Rogue! How can you show up right after you won the Best at Leaving Award?!
humph! Typical of you, coming back right for an award. I swear you could smell one from halfway around the world away...
but FINALLY you're back.

I can't bear the thought of someone else accepting an award on my behalf and hence I had to gate-crash the ceremony. And yeah, just to prove that I deserve the award, I might leave once again. But not just now...
I'll hold you to your word. You better stay on this site this time.
Just how long do you have to be absent from this site before you claim reward for returning? Are we talking about seconds, minutes, days, months or a year or three? 
If you want my unbiased opinion, I'd say three months; though it could be two, else the award will become meaningless, like watered down, too common, as everyone would be able to claim it at one time or another. But you should consider the source, because 'I know next to nutink'.
Best reward for returning not only depends on time, but also the way you return. Oh, and Grondy will be considered for a specific award now that i know he knows next to nutink.
Well, I missed all the excitement.
Cloveress:
I'm so glad to hear you went down to Fuessen. It's such a wonderful place. Ah, King Ludwig II, Mad King Ludwig...there is something to his story. I've always been fascinated by him. Oh, and the other castle is called Hohenschwangau.
*Sorry for changing the topic...*

D-Rob checks watch... Date: August 26
Coward for sure. I didn't even dare show up until today for fear of not getting an award! I just couldn't bear it!!!! Hehe, and that was clear back in March...
D-Rob quite joyfully* sneaks away....
*If joyfully sneaking away is possible...

Hmm.... how is it that LA_86 got the award for leaving? I'm so good that no one even noticed me...
You're a good wanderer all right, and wait til you see what's in store September for you guys!Ho yes....
I think that it is somewhat ironic that the creator of this thread, LostandAlone (originally Findarato, but who knows what it will be next? He's umm... more than erratic), has not even received one award aside from having the most locked threads that LA_86 so graciously gave him...
I think that the Most Indecisive award should go to Grondy. See here, look for my post.
D-Rob melts into the shadows...

I know something called html, which is what most web pages are created with. There is a "tag" that allows you to strikethrough things, but I won't show you how it's done because Grep doesn't want us to use anything other than what is provided when you post. He lets me do stuff but if a lot of users started to use it, chaos could erupt.
Lets say that everyone started typing things like this:
Noooooo!!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
It would get annoying pretty fast.
D-Rob slips away with considerable stealth...
Grondy says: You may only use our bulletin board code here; not html as you have been told before. It was quite impresive though. Please behave yourself.
Grondy, it took me 5 minutes to create something so ugly!!! And I made it as a bad thing so that people would realize how bad it would be if everyone knew html!!! It served as an example!!!! Besides, I looked through site rules and there isn't anything about bb code only. Now my post looks like a normal one and people are so missing out on the ugly site of the web...
Edit:For those of you who want to see what it looked like, I have recreated (sort of) the page. You can see it here. It's the last post on the page. Also, you must wait for the page to completely load to get the full effect. For the information of those not using a mozilla browser, the "Noooooo!!!!!" blinks.

You don't say. Imagine Elrose picked up some of that stuff.
Oh the horror! PT would need a total make over if Elrose caught on to stuff like that! At least he would get the award for most moderated... Which currently goes to me....

What, aren't there enough rules already?
Not many have used html coding to make moving and/or colourfull text and such in the past, so there hasn't been any need to make a rule about it. (We are not as fond of making rules, yelling and telling people what to do as it might seem. Honest!
) Editing and asking nicely to not do it again has been enough so far. But both the previous and current owner of PT has said that they don't want that sort of thing in their forum, so its not something new. Putting the nasssstyness in a link was a good idea. Now we can choose if we want to look at it or not. And it gives a hint of what it might have looked like in here if things had been different.
Thanks Mell, i thought i need an avatar that would stick with me for basically ever. I like this one i downloaded this package of LOTR avatars ages ago and i recently found them, already 70 by 70 pixels, im set, if anyone wants to see some PM me and ill send some to you
i downloaded this package of LOTR avatars ages ago and i recently found them, already 70 by 70 pixels, im set, if anyone wants to see some PM me and ill send some to you Ahh... Amari’, there is a flaw in your arguement. First off, Grep does not want us to do stuff like that and it should get edited. However, Grep has told me personally that it is okay to use html PROVIDED that it does not mess with the layout of the page and that it looks good. So asking me to not do it again would be against the owner of the site. But, I won't do anything that Grep wouldn't agree to anyway, so it doesn't really matter if you tell me not to do it again.
Hehe... I should get an award for defending myself so often...

Okay, okay, I'll show you. You type it like this:
I've got the artistic thing down really good. My creeping could use some work though...
D-Rob laughingly sneaks away to the freezer to eat some ice cream...
If Grondy is so good, let's see if he can figure this one out... and see if I can get this thread locked... No, just kidding. But I could so easily mess up the page. Just do this:
Hehe... hope no one tried to load this page while it was messed up...
