I really appreciate it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1497672 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:33:15 +0000 Isabel 1497672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfectly reasonable and fair decision. Besides this site celebrates and reveres its members every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1497543 Thu, 28 May 2015 04:26:48 +0000 MsMary 1497543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Suz, I will always treasure your birthday posts to me, Angie! And I have been continually amazed at the thought and love that you put into everybody's birthday posts! But I understand that as the forum grows, it's just not practical to try to keep up with everybody's birthdays. So I fully support your decision and look forward to hearing from the birthday ladies themselves going forward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1497514 Thu, 28 May 2015 03:08:16 +0000 soobee 1497514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, my birthday was last week and you didn't put up post for me.&nbsp; I cried and cried and cried.</p> <p>(I didn't really ;)&nbsp; )</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496540 Tue, 26 May 2015 10:45:09 +0000 lyn67 1496540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a very kind and familiar tradition on the YLF, &nbsp;so kind of you, Angie (and Inge) and I will miss these but totally understandable. I think it can be overwhelming to&nbsp;&nbsp;keep pace with all the happenings (not only BD's) in the lives of all the (sooo many) forum members- we just cannot expect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496395 Tue, 26 May 2015 00:43:21 +0000 Ledonna N. 1496395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I'm now a die hard and appreciate everything you and your team continue to do. I thank you for making YLF a safe haven. I pray that you and yours receive continued blessings and kindness in the midst of your ever expanding corner of the inter web. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496345 Mon, 25 May 2015 22:56:12 +0000 Helena 1496345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Smittie and Jackie (thirding???) ... Makes total sense and pretty awesome how involved you are on here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496263 Mon, 25 May 2015 19:50:38 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1496263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say thanks for this decision and communication, Angie. I wasn't one who commented on this in the survey, because I didn't think about it at the time, but I don't think I've ever had my birthday mentioned (that is, not by me) even though it's on my profile. This year when it (didn't) happen, I did start wondering if there was a secret list somewhere that I wasn't on for some reason. (And of course, some people prefer not to celebrate their birthdays, and no one wants to single them out and make them feel uncomfortable.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496262 Mon, 25 May 2015 19:49:21 +0000 Debora 1496262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'll be sorry to see the birthday posts go, but I understand how difficult it must be to not leave people out now that the forum has grown so large. I think you have hit upon the perfect solution. Thank you so much for all the love and energy you put into the site. I can't tell you how much it is appreciated. You have brightened so many birthdays, including mine, and we know the sentiment will always there. :)<br /> xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496221 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:39:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1496221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Angie, for your willingness to find new ways to engage on the forum!&nbsp; I've always appreciated the birthday posts, but, after many years as a pastor's wife, I'm well aware of how easy it is for someone to feel hurt or left out.&nbsp; It's human nature, I guess.&nbsp; </p> <p>You do an amazing jobs of engaging individuals on the forum, Angie.&nbsp; Thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496213 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:24:00 +0000 Aziraphale 1496213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually this will lift a little parcel of guilt of my shoulders, too, because I'm such an erratic participant that I miss half the birthday posts anyway! I always feel a little badly when I don't respond to those threads, because everybody appreciates birthday wishes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496204 Mon, 25 May 2015 17:58:02 +0000 CocoLion 1496204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As the lucky recipient of Birthday posts, I thank you Angie for your efforts. &nbsp;However, as is often the case, "no good deed goes unpunished." &nbsp;I am happy to announce my own birthday from now on as well as my plans and outfits, that's a great idea. &nbsp;We need to learn how to celebrate ourselves in tasteful ways, so why not start here, where we learn to get PHDs in social IQ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496195 Mon, 25 May 2015 17:44:47 +0000 Anonymous 1496195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do understand you reasons Angie, though I will miss the birthday threads by you. I have to say that I was also&nbsp;thinking what Gaylene put in her last paragraph above... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496187 Mon, 25 May 2015 17:21:45 +0000 Dixie 1496187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this makes a lot of sense. When I was in university, my career had a Facebook page and the director congratulated the kids she knew and hang out with. I felt left out. So it's sad that those posts are gone but it's more fair to the rest of the community.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496180 Mon, 25 May 2015 17:02:00 +0000 Gaylene 1496180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes sense, but I'll be a bit sad to see those posts become history. Like Gryffin, I also chose to not provide my birthday because I'm another under-the-wire flyer, but I vicariously enjoyed the delight your posts gave the birthday girl and loved to add my own congratulations. It was one of those special touches that made YLF so different than other forums. </p> <p>Can I just add that I'm a bit surprised that there was any negative response to your birthday greetings on the survey. For some reason, that disturbs me more than your decision to change the format. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496163 Mon, 25 May 2015 16:22:19 +0000 kellygirl 1496163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read through all of the posts but I'm glad for you, Angie! I was always so amazed at the time and thought you put into those posts. I think it's a great idea for members to share their own birthdays--especially if it included a WIW and What I did!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496161 Mon, 25 May 2015 16:19:26 +0000 gryffin 1496161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazingly empathetic and thoughtful as always. I have always adored the b'day posts. Although I prefer to stay under the radar, I thought they were incredibly special and always enjoy sending good wishes. Now it will just be a little different but the fervent good wishes will be just as sincere!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496127 Mon, 25 May 2015 15:11:14 +0000 Angie 1496127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're making me blush. I so appreciate the sweet words. Many thanks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496052 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:53:56 +0000 jackiec 1496052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely understandable! I agree with smittie above. It's just so fab to have you so near and accessible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496037 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:34:04 +0000 Anonymous 1496037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to say that I am really surprised by how present you are on this forum. That alone is enough for me!&nbsp;<br />High 5! :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496030 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:24:32 +0000 Suz 1496030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I will always treasure your birthday posts to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I always loved your celebrations of others, too, and felt so warmed to see forum friends celebrated here.&nbsp;</p> <p>But you've made the right decision for all. It's horrible to think others may have felt left out, and it would be impossible to note everybody's now that the forum has grown.&nbsp;</p> <p>THANK YOU for being sensitive and responsive. And I am looking forward to seeing more birthday outfits! &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496024 Mon, 25 May 2015 12:24:40 +0000 Tanya 1496024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes lots of sense with the forum size, Angie!&nbsp; Thank you for being incredibly sweet and remembering a huge number of birthdays for the past seven years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1496001 Mon, 25 May 2015 09:14:48 +0000 Summer 1496001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's totally understandable, Angie. &nbsp;With the forum being so large these days it would be near impossible to keep up with everyone's birthday. &nbsp;<br />Onwards and upwards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum/page/2#post-1495996 Mon, 25 May 2015 09:02:59 +0000 Style Fan 1495996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely understand your decision Angie.&nbsp; I do not know how you manage to do all you do.&nbsp; Your responses on the forum posts are always so helpful and kind.&nbsp; When I did read the birthday posts I was very impressed by how you had captured the essence of the person but how could you continue to do this with the forum being so large.&nbsp; I don't celebrate my birthday every year anymore (the years go too fast!) so I celebrate every 5 years or even every 10.&nbsp; A big one is coming up.&nbsp; I will post that one for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495980 Mon, 25 May 2015 05:57:32 +0000 rachylou 1495980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait! How did you know I ordered a rose sparkling?!! Hehe. Thx, tulle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495978 Mon, 25 May 2015 05:32:38 +0000 tulle 1495978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Rachylou:&nbsp; Happy Birthday to one as tonic as a glass of champagne--pink champagne, to match her crocs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495965 Mon, 25 May 2015 04:10:50 +0000 rachylou 1495965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe. Today being my birthday! Hehe But it's a good b-day gift - because its not like I'm ready to celebrate my birthday. I've yet to recover from last year's holiday season!</p> <p>But seriously, I like this decision. It's the epitome of graciousness, and that for me is the best thing I can think of for my birthday.</p> <p>...Although, ok, it's true: I demand to be snubbed on my birthday by a French waiter. And yes, thank you very much, I was properly sneered at and given much trouble for the gaucherie of ordering a GLASS of champagne today. *Sigh.* It's lovely when all is right with the world!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495953 Mon, 25 May 2015 03:29:00 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1495953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A much better solution, Angie... taking some responsibility off your shoulders, &nbsp;You deserve a break as this forum has so many members!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495950 Mon, 25 May 2015 03:26:29 +0000 Jaime 1495950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made the wise and fair decision. Your birthday posts are always delightful, but the forum has grown, which is also delightful. We will just all share our birthday suits as we wish :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-birthday-posts-on-the-forum#post-1495946 Mon, 25 May 2015 03:10:12 +0000 Adelfa 1495946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Peri said, I thought we could sign up for a birthday post. Or not. So it was totally up to us. Angie, I feel sad for you that you had to read this on the survey. I doubt you'd want me to say much about that. So let me just say affirmatively that you are one of the most kind and considerate persons I've ever met. You have a gift for keeping interpersonal interactions positive even in challenging circumstances. You are the soul of tact and discretion. I try very hard to learn from you. And even though you are very careful and sensitive, the strongest memory I have from the Santa Monica meetup is the sound of your laugh--full and loud and joyous. </p>
