Happy Birthday Heartland!!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Seven years is quite some time for an internet forum.
Kudos to all the effort involved in keeping it alive!

Indeed! :notworthy:

I've said it before but I'll say it again - it's a tribute to how this place is run that it's lasted so long, has retained so many people for huge chunks of that time, and still attracts new people.

Keep it up. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Thank YOU, and all the other original conspirators, for this place where I actually don't feel like a relic from the Pleistocene... :lol:

Awesome job, everybody! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Happy birthday HL, and thanks to everyone who makes this such a great place! I only wish I would have joined in sooner instead of lurking for so long!

Here's to HL - the following is my boyfriend's favorite toast:

"Here's to us, and those that love us
To those who do not love us, may god turn their hearts
If he cannot turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so that we may know them by their limp."

Or something like that anyways, that might not be word for word accurate. I am usually drinking when he spits that out. :oops:

There's always his brother's usual toast: "Here's to the next one!"
...with the wind in our face and our arms open wide...

SINnie, either that is an unfortunate choice of words, or you are really down on yourself. ;D It reminds me of this thread, strangely enough from, ahem, year #2.

May HL remain a place where we all like to return when we have the time! :notworthy:

or as lady sovereign put it:
if you love us, then:"thank-you!"
if you hate us, then "fuck you too!"

Happy birthday to HL (been my second home for nearly four years and outlived five "real world" abodes).

like eldritch said:'the world is divided into "us", "them", and people we don't talk to'.
so heres a drink to "us". i love you all -even those of you i don't.
