Farewell my dear Avalon friends

[Brinty]

To all my dear friends at Avalon - my monthly subscription will expire soon and I don’t intend to renew it. Like Bilbo Baggins, I’ll shortly be going on an adventure and I may not return. I’d like to thank you, each and every one, for your warmth and good humour over the last few months.

I would wish and hope that you may all experience the happiness and contentment I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Simply listen to you conscience, after all it’s really your guardian angel telling you what’s right and what’s wrong.

Life can be a bitch at times but don’t dwell on the bad or hard times. Most importantly of all, don’t fear death. Remember, the plainest and sometimes ugliest caterpillar will eventually become a beautiful butterfly.

Young souls may be confused at the point of transition but will eventually be contacted and directed by their guardians. We older souls are aware that we’ve done this transformation before and welcome the relief from our earthly incarnation.

Bring back the lighthearted fun of the Avalon Lounge (it's been a bit drab recently) and have a fruity drink or two - careful with the umbrellie thingies, they can damage your nose - check under the back corner table occasionally - you never know who might be there.

Once again, thank you all for your friendship and I look forward to our meeting and recognizing each other on a higher plane.

Until then, look after each other and remember that what you put into life, is returned a thousandfold.

To all you girls - :huglove:

And to all you guys - :cheers:

Cheerio :old:

We will miss you Brinty - with your wit, wisdom and good humour.
I have particularly enjoyed knowing you were there in Blackbutt,
quite near to some of the places I have lived (Toowoomba, Tara)

All the very best to you on your journey. Our thoughts and
prayers go with youl

Lots of love
Noela

My Dear Brinty,

The hardest part of any friendship
is when its time to say goodbye,
ans even though i wished i could make you stay
i know i've got to let you spread your wings and fly.

For life is a journey that needs to be travelled
and i am certain you'd make it through,
i just want you to know and never forget
that i will surely miss you.

So follow your heart and never give up
as dreams and wishes do come true,
for i know that someday we'll meet again,
so never forget i'll be praying for you.

Take care mate

Henry:no::emot-sad::sad:

Ahhh Brinty I will miss you...your dry sense of humor and wit gave me great cause to laugh (which I never do enough)...I hope your journey onwards is everything you could ever wish for...I know you have been looking forward to it.

:mfr_omg:I hope this is merely a vacation. Life is a battle and a march...and sometimes I fear that the mental, spiritual, and emotional battle here in the forum is too intense...but I don't know of any other way to deal with the confusing potpourri of information which we are presently being confronted with. I have enjoyed your wisdom and common sense. We need more level

heads in this crazy world. Can you tell us about your planned adventure? I'm worried. Are you ok? Lurk...but don't leave.

[pyrangello]

Say it isn't so aunty Em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well as you are departing Brinty, you know your always welcome back. It's been a true pleasure to be at the avalon roundtable for that constructive dialog. Keep your head high and always move in a forward direction , be safe . We hope to see ya back one day and I'll take your advise on the umbrella drinks , it's straight straws from now on. Salute! Til we meet again

[Malletzky]

Which wise words could I tell to a wise men...except..

Brinty, dear soulmate, enjoy the rest of your earthly years and remember us here, your avalonian friends...

....and yes, see you again...one "day" :thumb_yello:

Before you leave Brinty...there is one thing I request...

You have left hundreds of wonder side splitting jokes here at Avalon....many of which are in the Lounge if anyone cares to check it out.
I request you leave us with your personal favorite gut busting joke...one that will have us laughing and sharing for a lifetime.

Come on with it Brinty....your favorite? :wub2:
leave it here or in the lounge...but please grace us with one more good one :thumb_yello:
Blessings my friend
Brook

[Dantheman62]

Brinty, this is truly a sad day for me knowing that you're leaving!
Thanks for all your very funny jokes, and your unmatched wisdom!

It is a pleasure and an honor to know you!
Thanks for sharing all your pictures and all your charm!

I mean this from the bottom,top,middle,and corners of my heart, that I will miss you!
Elaine is a very lucky woman to have you, as I'm sure you're lucky to have her!
I know that whatever you do, you will be ok!

If everybody had your outlook on life, this world would be a great place!
Be well Brinty,
and thanks for being you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With great respect,
Dan

Greetings Brinty...

Although We haven't had much time to get to know one another properly, I have already worked out that you're a very highly respected Avalonian and i'm truely saddened to hear you'll be leaving (Hopefully not for good).

I wish you well, in whatever you do. And Hope your path continues to be a True and Steady one.

Blessings to you Brinty...

and

Love and Light to ALL, Trav.

[Brinty]

My dear, dear Avalonian friends, the warmth and sincerity of your messages have brought me to tears, :tears: and have given me pause for thought.

I've had a sense of change in some realm of which I'm not too sure about. Things have been happening which are a bit confusing to me at this time. I confess to having faltered a bit in the direction I was heading and for a moment there I felt a bit lost. :thumbdown:

When things are clear in my mind again, I will seriously consider my options for the future path I intend to follow.

I don't feel the change is affecting everyone - maybe it's a personal message just for myself.

I will certainly let you all know my final decision.

Love and peace to you all. :thumb_yello:

[scanner]

Brinty how can even think of leaving ? where are you going to go too get this many ppl who know whats happening to you in one place ? how are you even going to get an audiance who will listen to your jokes and sometimes laugh, lol.:lmfao:

If you leave we will all miss you, blessings love and light my friend :thumb_yello:

[Luminari]

Thank you Brian,

You have been a wonderful friend.

We have shared many laughs here and you have taught me many interesting things. Your sense of humour reminds me that there is good in the world, and nice people with big hearts out there.

Meeting you and Elaine in magical Maleny for the 2012 talk was wonderful and thank you both for your friendship and extension of hospitality.

You are a wise man, Ill always be your mate, wherever we are in the universe and we may meet again some place.

Kindest Regards,

luminari

[futureyes]

brinty ... times now are indeed confusing to many ... perhaps partly because time is flying out the door ... takes some adjusting ... some things no longer feel familiar ... and others there is a knowing but uncertainty where to plant our feet ...

what we sometimes think is ... turns out it isn't ... what we sometimes believe to be concrete ... turns out to be uncertain ...

only thing to do is go with the flow ... trust to follow your heart ... and you always do ...

all is well ... exactly as it should be ...

and you are always loved ...

YEA!!!!!does that mean you may not be leaving now ?????:original::original:

[Luminous]

Dear Brinty,
I don't know you well (I'm a new old bat on the block), but i always keep an eye out for your jokes and wonderful compassion. I send your jokes to my friends. You see, you give smiles to people you don't even know exist. :roll1:

Confusion is just the foliage along the road these days. I'm there with you most of the time. But whatever you decide, wherever you go, you are most definitely not alone.

We'll miss you if you go, and we'll all be delighted if you choose to stay. We honor whatever your decision is... but we'll all be right behind you in any case.

Safe and joyful journey to you, you wonderful soul.

Peace and love. :wub2:

Dear rhythm, I'm working on clarifying my mind as to what path to follow. At the moment there are at least three directions I can go in.

1. Stay involved with Avalon.
2. Write the book I'd had the concept of some years ago.
3. Lay 52 square meters of ceramic floor tiles.

The last one HAS to be done. The second one might not get done. While the first one has been the reason the other two haven't been started yet.

Elaine will be heading back to NZ for a couple of weeks in early June to meet up with friends and relatives when she attends her parents' 70th wedding anniversary and this will give me a chance to start laying the tiles when and as I like. This could be 2 o'clock in the morning or any time of the day.

So, until that time, Avalon will be on the back burner - the fire isn't completely out.

Holy smoke! Talk about deja vu! :shocked: Ten years ago I was active on another world wide forum and got roped into writing a segment about (of all things) a traveling hedgehog. It had been started by one member and passed on to others to add a weekly paragraph or two. I became involved and the paragraph expanded into a full page. Finally, I ended up writing a daily page or more and that was when I got the idea to write a book for children.

The idea is still bubbling away in the back of my mind. It could happen - just wait for things to settle down - like 52 square whatsits of tiles. :original:

Brinty all you need is time and some good time management, I work fulltime and go on several Avalon type sites just finished fitting a new Kitchen and a loft conversion ,with no help from anybody .It took me about 6 weeks to complete it and about 3yrs to finish the Loft which was a big project and I'm no spring chicken . So maybe you could look at that , just don't want you to leave brinty dood .

I had to take a blood pressure pill after watching that PaL - my breath was coming in short pants. :biggrin2:

I'll have to lie down now. Oh if only I was 50 years younger. :naughty:

[Dantheman62]

Hey I know!, you could fly me over there and I'll paint the entire interior and exterior of your house, and I'll help you with the tiles! No charge! Of course you pay for the plane ticket and feed me, LOL, and I can eat! HaHa
Oh and I've been a professional painter for 16 years!
Of course I'm just kidding around because I need to stay here and keep trying to find a JOB!, which is becoming impossible, LOL

[Unified Serenity]

Brinty,

We haven't gotten to know each other, but I know you'd be terribly missed here if you left. Whatever you decide, I wish you well!

Thanks for the thought Dan, I'll keep it in mind when we decide to paint the house. :thumb_yello:

Here are a few ideas on making money . . . .

1. Advertise as follows, "Steel coat hangers only 20c each plus postage." When you get an order, send them a 50mm nail.

2. Advertise as follows, "Learn how to make money - results guaranteed." When you get a contact, reply with, "Place an advertisement like I did."

3. This one requires a bit more work . . . Obtain a dud light bulb, then dressed in appropriate garb, call on homes and tell them you are from the electricity department and will do a free light and plug inspection. When you are alone, replace a good light bulb with your dud one. Clean the one you took out, tell the owner that you've discovered a dud light bulb and can replace it for 50c. When the offer is accepted, remove the dud, put it in your pocket along with the 50c, put back their original bulb and carry on to the next house where you repeat the procedure.

4. This one is at least almost honest . . . Prepare yourself a small case with your "tools of trade" which are a small screwdriver, a small crescent wrench, a half inch paintbrush and a small tin of grease. Oh, and don't forget a rag. Call on homes and say that for $1 you will inspect their vacuum cleaner if it is one of the older models that are no longer being serviced, and you guarantee that it will suck better after you've finished. Old vacuum cleaners have a felt filter between the bag and the motor and with the dust cleaned out of it, the cleaner will have much improved suction.

Good luck Dan. :original:
