[TMIC] End of birthday lists
Hello all, Some of you may remember how the birthday lists started many years ago. Someone found an online site that would send e-cards to others as a support for a charity, so many of us sent in our names and birthdays so as to use the site to raise funds for the TMA. Not surprisingly, the site died after a while. A girl on the TMIC named Carrie and I had accumulated the birthday names and lists, and after she left the list, I continued to send them out once a month. I've decided to stop doing so, for a number of reasons. 1) Not many people are here any more. Many are on Facebook and it is easy to send birthday greetings there. 2) I don't think many (if any) people use the birthday list to send individual greetings to anyone on it. (A few of you have faithfully sent happy birthdays on TMIC to those celebrating each month as a whole, and I have appreciated that.) 3) Since all mail that goes through the TMIC is archived online, I have wondered if it is a problem to have lists of names and e-mails there, if that increases anyone's spam content. 4) I have been sending out individual birthday greetings to everyone on the list, and more and more of them are returned to me because the address is no longer active. 5) For those who are no longer on the TMIC, I don't know if they welcome the birthday greetings or if they don't want me to bug them any more. So for all of those reasons, plus the amount of time involved, I have decided to stop sending the birthday lists out each month. I've just finished updating it with the latest information I have - if anyone else wants to take it over, I'll be happy to send you the list. I'm still here on the TMIC and plan to continue to be. I wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2014. Love, Barbara H.
[TMIC] Happy New Year
Hi everyone just a quick message to wish you all a very happy new year and best wishes for 2014. I hope you all had a lovely Xmas and have managed to avoid any health problems. I've noticed it's been rather quiet but I expect everyone is so busy at this time of year. Best wishes, Nikki UK. Sent from my iPhone

Re: [TMIC] End of birthday lists
Barbara, Thank you for all the work you went to to supply the birthday list. I fully understand why you are not continuing with it.I also will always have this website open to whatever comes up. Maybe we have all said pretty much how we feel – physically, mentally, and emotionally – on the site. Anyway, thank you and I will catch any messages that come on this website.

eHappy New Year to you. I find the TMIC web site is never real busy anymore. It seem everyone has gone over to the Face Book groups On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 9:48 AM, fatimah shehadeh fatimah.sheha...@gmail.com wrote: Happy new year to all.

Re: [TMIC] End of birthday lists
Thanks Barbara. You are correct in all your reasons. I'm still here on TMIC as well as on FBk and that's where I try to remember to send birthday greetings.

Best wishes to all for 2014. I do miss the helpful and friendly exchanges on TMIC. Somehow don't relate to Facebook in the same way. Iris UK Sent from my iPad
