Today is my last day of work, so I won't have access to a computer anymore, so I wish to raise the parting glass. I've learned a lot here, and really enjoyed the times I wasn't learning anything too. The next phase in my life when I have a computer, I'll be running straight back here.

XOXOXOX,

Marion

(PS to Banjo Bonnie: that was hugs and kisses, not a case of massive indecision.)

Marion! Seek Library Access! Find a friend with a computer! Public access computers are becoming much more common.

"Of all the money that e'er I spent, I spent it in good company,
And all the harm that e'er I've done, alas, it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit to mem'ry now I can't recall.
So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight, and joy be with you all.

O all the comrades that e'er I had are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had would wish me one more day to stay.
But since it falls into my lot that I should rise and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, Goodnight, and joy be with you all."
"The Parting Glass", Traditional

Come back to us soon Marion

(Sorry, bad habit I have, peole say things that remind me of a song and I just have to sing it...... )

All the best, Musicman

Alas, fair Maid Marion, we will miss your sweet smile. Do try to buy a home computer. It doesn't have to be a fancy one.

Come back real soon. We'll keep a warm spot for you, by the e-fire, in the hobo camp they call the Mudcat Cafe, down in the Hollow, beside the Information SuperHighway. Look, up ahead, your next stop, the Cyberzone.

Easy Rider, maybe Mad Marion would be more appropriate: Marion with an O is usually a masculine name (John Wayne's real first name). The feminine is usually with an A: Marian. Of course I have been wrong before: remember Joely? Among dozens of hundreds of other blunders I have posted here (some think my posting of anything is a blunder).

But Marion, M or F, come back soon: we hate to lose good people.

Marion,

Last day of work? Since that can imply situations ranging from joy to trepidation, here's my wish for the former.

"Sweet Maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong, stay on the right side, the Mudcat is your ho-o-ome!" (Sorry, ELO again, with a bit of variation of course!) And Seed, it's obvious that Marion is female, despite the name spelling! Blast it, I was just getting into your posts, and now you have to leave us! Please come back soon! The Mama'Cat ain't happy until all her children are home!

Good luck in all you do and come back as often and as soon as you can, Marion. And, thanks for letting us know. There are so many who drop off and I always wonder how they are, etc.

marion, I couldn't even conceive of leaving Mudcat! Please hurry back. Can you make it to Jersey in January? (see annap's gathering) Love to have you. No one should have to be away from Mudcat. I hope you will be going to a new job soon.

Love, annap

"Some may leave money from a lifetime of saving,
some just a name, on a marble stone.
It's not what you leave, it's the joy of remembering,
All I can leave you is a handful of songs.

You will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. Please hurry home to the village. We are better for your presence.

I wonder what Marion found to do
That's better than comin' to see you one more time.

No more, Robin, no more,
Your outlaw days are over.

ONWARD and the best of stuff to ya,

Last day of work - what a wonderful thing!
BTW, Seed, here in Germany, Marion is definitively a feminine name!
