What has become of our muse, Bristolz? No ideas nor annos since end of March?
Anyway, happy birthday! to her if appropriate.
[marked-for-reconsideration] after suitable interval.

best wishes to you, bris. |
|
| |
She's been busy polishing her guns and star, partner. |
|
| |
indeed, what news fair [Bris] ? happy B'day |
|
| |
A mere 31? You're just a young'un, lass. Happy birthday to you and I hope your year is filled with laughter and tears. |
|
| |
Felicem diem natalem! (31!? Ancient language required) |
|
| |
Yes, where is she? Happy birthday, trouble, wherever you are. |
|
| |
Well, since we can't get her a cake, I'm hoping for at least 31 croissants for bris. |
|
| |
Also, what [NotThe] said - you're so young! |
|
| |
I am happy to provide croissant #15 - almost "half"way there! |
|
| |
Happy 00011111rd Birthday Bris.
Just three bits to go til you're a byte. :) |
|
| |
Very happy birthday [bristolz]. |
|
| |
I'm a day late, but HB birthday anyway, Bris! |
|
| |
Happy birthday, bz. Hope you're having a
good day with the family. |
|
| |
Would the suitable interval end after a certain time or when Bristolz comes home? Merry birthday by the by. |
|
| |
[Sincerely hoping the silence on the part of the birthday girl reflects good circumstances, not bad ones.] |
|
| |
Happy birthday Bris and a prime year it
is. |
|
| |
I gave the thirty-first one! |
|
| |
Oh well, now I have to take my croissant off to bring it to a round 31. Thanks a lot, person after [notmarkflynn]. |
|
| |
Many happies [bris] - see you back here soon! |
|
| |
There once was a 'baker called bris
Who decided to go on the piss
For it was her birthday
She was just over thir-tay
And now she is sadly amiss.
|
|
| |
See you when you sober up. Many happies.
PS - I'm not the thirty second croisant. Honest. |
|
| |
Um...she always was a miss, unless I *really* missed something. |
|
| |
C'mon, guys, keep it at 31. I think that's better than having a lot of buns. |
|
| |
OK [nmf] I've neutralised my vote - I like the idea of having one's birthday greetings dialled out in votes. Happy birthday [bris]! |
|
| |
Coincidentally [zen_tom], my 100th birthday is coming up, and I intend to post my next idea to coincide with it. |
|
| |
there ya go, Happy? now where is the birthday girl, my ice cream is melting. |
|
| |
Yay - 31! Heh - the votes don't *have* to be positive ones [ht]! |
|
| |
Personally, I think Bristol should get a hundred croissants, for being wiser than her years. So I'm not going along with your little scheme. |
|
| |
Still 31 votes... I'm with [DC] on the hundred though. Many happy returnings, or we'll miss you. |
|
| |
I wuv a pawty !!!
Halfby Biwfday Bwis !!! |

perhaps [bristolz] is hiding here...
//Soft, blonde wood; an exposed beam ceiling; butter soft leather chairs; a woolen afghan blanket for my feet; walls lined with books; a large globe; a small, quiet refrigerator with an array of finger sandwiches and chunks of dark chocolate; a fresh ginger and Belvedere martini, stirred to the consistency of a frozen cloud; the smell and sight of the shore with the distant natterings of children and gulls at play in the waves; a brass telescope; the decadent meow of a middle-aged cat; jazz piano from the house next door and the spun yellow-gold of sunlight, blended with the ice of a blue sky, peering in through a cucoloris of coastal trees.// |
|
| |
that's lovely consol. you reading out of Conde Nast magazine? |
|
| |
Now who voted against this? (Unless it was [bris], in which case I can't really complain) |
|
| |
You haven't missed anything [dentworth] :) that passage was a submission from the birthday girl herself to an idea about a business providing short time stress relief rooms in big cities. |
|
| |
I have not seen anything by [Bristolz] at all since this post. Did I miss something here? |
|
| |
Having originated this post, I'm a bit sheepish to admit that I based the birthday wishes on the slenderest of references,
[link1]
My sincere apologies to all if this is not the same bristolz. I felt some affinity for her as another west-coaster, as I have lived in the San Juan Islands occasionally for most of 50 years. |
|
| |
Another recently surfaced reference on the HB:
[link2]
seems to indicate that she had suffered from migraine headaches, I sincerely hope not HB-induced! |
|
| |
I do hope that she will return soon. |
|
| |
//Folks, once again, I have to leave the HB frivolity. This time I believe I won't be back. Life intervenes. Thanks to all for the very interesting time I have had here as well as the chance to become a fledgling artist at your expense. Alas, I never took the effort to do the one drawing I really wanted to do: A Map of the Halfbakers Heart, complete with the Tropic of Custard and other areas of geographic interest. |
|
| |
Take good care, all and try not to drive Jutta crazy. |
|
| |
Well, she came back that time, so...? |
|
| |
I've added a link to the [bristolz] thread, in case any newbies come across this thread first and don't know the reason for her absence. |
|
| |
Thanks, I should have done so earlier. |
|
| |
I really thought she'd just turn up in a few weeks. |
|
| |
Indeed. Reads differently, the second time round, doesn't it? |
