The Parting Glass

Of all the money ere I had, I spent it in good company,
And all the harm I've ever done, alas was done to none but me
and all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall
so fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades ere I had, they're sorry for my going away,
and all the sweethearts ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay,
but since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile
there is a fair maid in this town who sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips, I alone she has my heart in thrall
so fill me to the porting glass goodnight and joy be with you all.

That's a beautiful farewell.

... :hi: goodbye.

what's going on? :shrug:

very sweet harmonies...absolutely beautiful.
:hi:

This thread is rather cryptic. I'm not sure what to think. :shrug:

the PDA will be moving to another board?

We so looked forward to the schmoopiness.

Sad. I hope they are both okay.

You're kidding me!

What's been happening?

I know they took a lot of razzing for their public comments about how happy they were in their relationship. Maybe they just decided it was too much. Or maybe it was something else altogether.

I feel badly about this. I thought it was very sweet that two people hooked up via DU and were so crazy about each other.

guys. How lame.

I thought it was kind of cute, maybe because there is no way in fricking hell my husband would EVER post that kind of stuff in public about me. Just a very different kind of guy.


How is married life treating you?

a teaching artists job in CT. But life is very good. How's by you and yours?

Saturday is homecoming and my teenager is driving me crazy. The dress needs to be hemmed, hair done, etc., you get the drift.

Little one thinks the world revolves around her, but as sniffa said to me the other night, I should really set her straight on that. He said the world revolves around him.

Middle one, teenage boy still making a mess out of every room in the house.

Whatcha gonna do?

We are going to NYC for Thanksgiving. I haven't been in decades, and my brothers are all going to be there with their kids. Going to do the parade, etc., Should be fun.

... and couldn't face their online friends anymore after making such a big deal about how "perfect" everything was.

What a shame.

I dunno.

They seemed to be so happy, that would truly be sad.

I hope they would think that they could count on their friends here, of which I admittedly am not one, having never met either, to support them if they were having trouble.

This is sad.

Oh how sad!

How awful? Not going on awful?

... and that's all I can say. It's just too heartbreaking to elaborate any further. The thought of it just makes me want to cry. It's so tragic.

I so hope you are wrong.

they wouldn't do that. Don't you make me cry too now!!! :-(

I'm guessing it was just time for them to move on to their new lives. At least that's what I am hoping

I think they may be starting a happy life together!

I'm sure there are some DUers who have kept in touch with them.

One moved to the other's town and they're getting a place together.

:pals: :loveya: :hi:

lovey dovey talk was getting to everyone and that is why they are gone.

I hope they didn't break up.

Like they were heading into the right direction together.

Perhaps they both just decided to leave DU. :shrug: I'm confused.

I understand 'needing a break' because she was going to be taking some classes ... but tombstones ....

We all missed something!

you get a tombstone. Someone, I can't remember who, asked Skinner to turn off the account because he was moving overseas. I think. And, I remember people questioning why there was a tombstone because he wasn't an obvious disruptor.

That makes the most sense of all. :thumbsup:



obviously ~ I lurk a lot

:P

that is precisely why I love ya ...

we have so much in common ...




BTW ~ please give Sophie a special hug just from me

Sister of Fabulosity! I shall share a hug from you with my kitten-

I wish you the very best.

I'm sorry to not have had the chance to say good bye.


:hug:

:hug::hug:

It won't be the same without out you guys; though I understand. Peace and love in all that you do.

:hug:

You and Sarah will be missed very much. You 2 were true friends, and I never forget who they are. :-)

You both deserve much happiness, and may you forever annoy those of hateful dispositions - they'll get theirs. :toast:

Peace you two. I hope this isn't permanent!

Synchronicity!:loveya:

Way to go...:pals:

I always liked your posts...

I hope you and Finn stay happy together. :)
