| | | Ttfn The time has come to say cheerio for a while! I retire tomorrow, and the email address of this computer will vanish tomorrow evening at midnight (and I suppose the computer will turn into a pumpkin, the keyboard into a glass slipper (or glove) and the mouse into a coachman!).
I intend to get set up with a computer and email address at home very shortly, so I will be back - will you be able to spot me? I'll not come back as henrya!
It's been fun, and I've learnt a lot. Thanks for making this such a great place, everyone.

henrya | Oh Henry that is so sad you are leaving us  Have you got to come back under another name and start all over again? Hope it won't be too long before we hear your dulcet tones (well thats how i imagine them  )
Have a great retirement and I hope all your future plans come true -"ping" that was my magic wand, I prefer the role as fairy godmother makes a change than ugly sister
goodbye and take care.  |

If they're stuck for an idea on a retirement present then tell them that you don't want a gold watch or a carriage clock, but you'd like a nice new PC
It's been great having you around for the past couple of years and looking forward to seeing you return under your new guise for many more years to come.
Cheers

henrya | henrya Although I have not had the pleasure knowing you for very long may I wish you well and do enjoy your retirement.
I retired (early) myself last July and since then have rekindled my love of wildlife photography - hence my coming to these forums.
All the best m'dear.

| | | Re: Ttfn Bye for now Henrya, cannot wait until your return. Best of luck in your retirement; remember that you will have difficulty finding time for all the things you wish to do. Just make sure that you leave enough time for WAB.

| | | Re: Ttfn All the best for your retirement, Henrya. I am so envious. Now you will have time to do what YOU want to do when YOU want to do it.
Please let us know who you are when you come back in your new incarnation!

| | | Re: Ttfn Perhaps you'll metamorphose like a beetle or butterfly? What form will you reappear as? We should have photos of this change!
Goodl luck and keep active - retirement seems to be hell for some people but a massive liberation for others - hope you're the latter and will be back with us soon - in one form or another!

| | | Re: Ttfn I too wish you a long and happy retirement. It's sad when we lose a good WAB member but hopefully it won't be for long, but why come back under another guise. What's wrong with the good old, tried and trusted, Henrya that's what I say.
