On March 15, this venerable forum will celebrate one year of existence. I think we ought to do something to celebrate. Keeping in the spirit of the uniquely controlled anarchy of this community, I am going to suggest one type of celebration and then fall back and let y'all fall in. To wit: how about we each post our favorite thread from the past year and contribute to the virtual party something comestible/potable unique to our individual regions? Let's discuss it here first, and then, on the date, we'll start a new topic, to be the actual celebratory venue. I also suggest Jo aka jmh be the mistress of ceremonies, since she has demonstrated remarkable skill in that area.  (If this is too creepy to some, I do not want to hear about it)

AWADtalk is indeed something special, something worth celebrating. I am too new to have any clever ideas about which past threads deserve resurrection, and too lacking in talent to have any good new ideas. But I'll be in the cheering section when the more gifted among us go to work.

May I help decorate?
St. Patrick's Day is March 17.
Perhaps shamrocks combined with the golden wheel as in the center of the flag of India, for Anu's ancestry?

"The ides of March are here".
Aye, but not gone, Satin. But they don't last very long, let's see some proposals.

I'm still very new at this, but I'm already having such a good time, albeit without much sleep over the past few days since I joined! So, YES - let's do it - something - oh, I love to cook - I'll make the birthday cake - how does Annie Laurie's Famous Cold Oven Pound Cake sound - I can add fudge frosting and one super large candle... and I promise, I'll make sure each of you gets a bite (  uh-huh)! ps - Annie Laurie is my mother, so I can't share the recipe... family secret and all that

... from the song, I suppose, which I should know, but don't! Of course, I did - she IS my mother, after all!

Bill, you said: let's see some proposals. Will you marry me? Great idea, Anna! You know what we could do?? Ooh! I just thought of this, so I'm just throwing out the first thing that pops into mind--may want some refining later. I was thinking first that maybe we could all send Anu thank-you cards or messages, but that might overload the guy's e-mail even more than it already is. And so then I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we could all make one post, or message, to send to him? And then it occurred to me--surely we can! What if somebody, maybe you, my friend, makes a post telling him thanks, why you like it or whatever. Then, the next person copies yours entirely
on to a new one, then adds their own comments and posts that? Then the third one would copy that entire poston to a new one, and add their comments, making the third paragraph. And so on, clear up to what? March 14th? We should each sign our name, for clarification, and I think if a line of dashes or equal signs were placed after every one, that would help with visual ease of reading. It is my opinion that duplications of sentiments will be quite acceptable. I also foresee a potential problem of two people adding on at the same time--bridget96 posted fourteen hundredths of a second before me the other day! I guess, maybe, whose-ever post came out on the bottom could take the responsibility for doing the editing to make them all on one post again. What do you-all think?
