Happy Leap Year Day, to all. The girls get to ask the guys for their hand in marriage today.

*studies grocery list*

I have to get to the store and get supplies for my....romantic dinner tonight.

*rushes off*

Have a great day, everyone!

He is such a wonderful man. We got our marriage license this afternoon.

*sits and pours wine in several goblets*

Who will join me in a toast for happiness?

That is interesting that you did not know about the February 29 marriage proposal thing. Maybe it's regional.

Thanks for the good wishes Evil~Shieldmaiden, elfmaiden77 and Gando. I still don't know what I'm going to wear.

The tradition of women being able to ask men to marry them on February 29th is fairly common. I found this in Wikipedia:

There is a popular tradition known as Bachelor's Day in some countries allowing a woman to propose marriage to a man on February 29. If the man refuses, he then is obliged to give the woman money or buy her a dress. In upper-class societies in Europe, if the man refuses marriage, he then must purchase 12 pairs of gloves for the woman, suggesting that the gloves are to hide the woman's embarrassment of not having an engagement ring. In Ireland, the tradition is supposed to originate from a deal that Saint Bridget struck with Saint Patrick.

The American 'Sadie Hawkins Day' tradition created by cartoonist Al Capp in his Lil' Abner comic strip is clearly based on this tradition.

One day in every 1461 - how scared are the guys in these places? And never mind the places where it's zero days - sad.

I always thought February 29 was called Sadie Hawkins Day. The idea of the woman asking the guy to marry stemmed from the comic series Li'l Abner and first appeared in the comic on November 15, 1937. The day has long been celebrated on the 15th of November and Al Capp made it a tradition in his comic strip for over 4 decades.

Hey, but I don't know and I don't care. February 29th worked out good for this girl.

Here, everyone, I have brought a layer of my wedding cake for all of you to enjoy. It is a lemon cake with buttercream icing. I hope you like it.

Congratulations! All the best and may never ending happiness be with you Lady Lindarielwen!

I've been away rangering in the wilds of life the last half dozen months. Much has been going on and has taken me away from the joys of visiting and roleplaying here with you fine folks.

I did bring some exotic spices and have these pure maize corn chips and some white bean dip and some pico de Gallo for your enjoyment. So yeah, don't mind me, I'll just sit over here sipping my Ekim Viking Pale Ale...

Thank you, Lord Arveleg. Marriage agrees with me.

You have been away for quite a while but things here have pretty much remained the same. I am very interested in the white bean dip. How do you make it?

*finishes the last slice of wedding cake and gets a big glass of milk*

I agree with you, Lord Arveleg, life is good.

Glad to hear from you again Sir(Lord) Arveleg! I hope these last few months have treated you well And you Linda, I hope you're enjoying married life!

I, however, on my last leg of my university degree, I'll soon have a start date for my new job, my new uniforms have been ordered... I just need to hand in this dratted dissertation (2 weeks encounting *cries*). And I'll be a full-time responsible adult (again).

How are my other CoE friends doing?

It has been a tad slow around here. I have been around a little more lately trying to get back in the swing of things. How have you been, dear one? Have you been drawing?

I'm sorry to hear you have been unwell, Linda I've not been around myself either, for various reasons . I've missed everyone, but I have been especially worried about you! I hope you are feeling better, but as a now qualified healthcare professional, make sure you rest up, eat enough, and drink plenty of fluids! Or I'll send my mini-minions to make sure you do!

How has everyone else been since I was last in town on the forum?

Just wanted to let the patrons of the Green Dragon Inn that Lindarielwen passed away on July 15, 2016, following a brief battle with cancer.

Gone too soon.
Rest in peace, my friend.

My grief knows no bounds as I know that it does for everyone else here. She was surely one of the dearest souls I have known. Farewell, Maiden of the Stars. I will never forget you or stop loving you.

Thank you for letting us know E~S

Image I am very sorry to hear the news of Lindarielwen's passing. She was one of my first friends on this site, and she made me feel welcome here. Even today, I was looking forward to her return, and now she never will. The Council of Elrond has lost a cherished member, and she will be missed by many of us.

I'm very sad to hear this news of Lindarielwen. Losing someone, even an internet friend, is never easy. Most of you probably don't know me but if you ever need to talk about it I've got a listening ear.

Just a small poem that I came up with titled

The Goodbye of Lindarielwen

As I stand, in front of you
You are looking, but see right through
Search your heart, for I will he here
To heal your pain, and to dry your tear
Now its time, for me to go
To a place, you can't follow
It saddens you, that I must leave
To leave this World, though I do believe
We all must take, this same old path
Remember me here, and have a laugh
I promise that, in the end
We will meet again, my dear friend

Rest in Peace Linda
