the artist formerly known as fid...

hello all, many old names around, but also missing a few. Eugene, Sue, frogger etc.
due sone health problems - a.o. 4 by-passes, macula degeneration and a few minor defects - I thought to have a look around once again.

 

Alors! Are you really FID??? (if so, I asked about you - a VERY long time ago!)

 

Oh my! Is that really you? Hallelujah for your presence. So sorry about the health issues.

 

yep. it's really me. still Swiss, still living in France, and still no proper English spoken
who's hiding behind that cat ? did you have another name back then ?
btw, please forgive me for having lost a big deal of memories.

 

FID! We have found a Fid! (or should that be ?)

I am not hiding behind a cat; I'm serving as a nap space for Her Imperial Furriness at the moment. My other two died of old age; Genie the Houdini Cat is the new fur kid on the block.

 

Zut alors! Are you talking to ME? Uhhhh... nope, no other name - I've had the same SBSVC since well before 2000! We used to talk silver (among other things) back in the old days on eBay.

 

there I am. a little lost at the moment, but it will certainly come back after a while.

 

so sorry to hear that.
could you change my name to fid then ? I don't know either if it was myself that closed the account. at a certain moment my whole body was working so much in the red range that I got rid of everything . after coming back from hospital I didn't know passwords etc., it was really "Maxwells Silver Hammer" directly on the head. that was three years ago and still fighting sometimes for words and rubbles of knowledge...

 

Are you sure it shouldn't just be Trouble? I don't have a lock on it. Quite.

 

just fid would be fine.

 

Double Trouble would be acceptable; playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan would be heaven

 

At this point, it would be IN heaven; I saw him live right before he died. Darnitt.

 

I think Fidbald had more gravity to it with a trace of Norse god. Or maybe something Wagnerian, Fidbald and Fafnir battle the Valkiries for the magic ringtone.
A fid is a spike you splice ropes with.

But good to see you survive anyway, I always appreciated your contributions in the past.

 

Welcome back!

 

fid, fidbald, alors, whichever you choose it's like music to my eyes (ears didn't make sense but then music doesn't either but you know what I mean)

Welcome back!!!!

 

We need a crazy Swiss hanging around, no matter what name he uses.

 

Again, thank you all.
I'm still wondering what became of people like zippershark, Sue from California - mostly interested in silver, and Eugene the God of refurbishing furniture ?
