If you would like to be added to the list, please send me a PM or simply post your birthday within the thread and i'll edit accordingly.
Again the thread has gotten a bit long, so it's been suggested that we start anew.
Happy birthday to you today, Avy, and tomorrow, Max.
May the hair on your toes never fall out.
can anyone guess what i'm reading??BTW, there are
eleven thousand new posts since the last time i logged in... and it hasn't been that long. don't you people slow down for the holidays or something??
oh, and Happy Thanksgiving too!
Here I was, thinking I had wished you a Happy Birthday. I guess I only did in my mind! Anyway, here's hoping you whacked that piñata, but good
.
Happy belated birthday, Max. I was too busy yesterday wishing my mom a happy birthday.
Happy belated birthday, Max, our most infamous Hogwash pointster!
Hope you enjoyed the day while we were eating our turkey!
Max, you have birthdays? Personally, the only date of significance in my life is my use-by date. It was some time ago ...
I hope the birthday/anniversary exchange was enjoyable and festive, Max.
I've a big gap in my education, however(one of many).
What's this holbytlan?
Thanks for any mortar you may provide; birthday cake icing will work very nicely, especially if it's cream cheese icing.
Best wishes for another spin around the Super Star,
WW
It is the anniversary of the day my father married my stepmother, making me one of the very few people I know who has to give presents on his birthday.Well, you could take the mathom principle to its logical conclusion and just give the present they give
you straight back again, couldn't you?
Capital Ki: I searched "mathom principle" and can't find anything. The language of this birthday thread is taking esoteric turns... Thanks for any elucidation for one in the dark. Birthday candles ain't shedding adequate light.
An ordinary citizen,
DubDub
Dearest and sweetest Avy and Max (not necessarily respectively),
As a benficiary I thank you both for the knowledge and perspective you have brought forth, and aside from my hopes that you have (had) the best day ever, please accept my belated congrats for having another year licked and scratched into the sky.
Happy belated, Avy and Max! Hope your birthdays were as special as you are. (I really must get back to the board more often; entirely too much to catch up on!)
In reply to:
making me one of the very few people I know who has to give presents on his birthday
In Indonesia you are expected to buy cakes or other treats for all your workmates/classmates on your birthday. With about 60 people in the office it mounts up.

Happy Birthday to mav,
Happy Birthday to mav,
Happy Birthday, Sweet maverick...
Happy Birthday to you-oo-oo. (And many more...) [/music notes icon]
A Happy and Glorious Birthday, Mav! (Wherever you are!
)
Happy Birthday to you, our wonderful wandering Maverick ~ may your special day be everything you hope and wish for.
and come back and see us soon, we miss you!!
Words are just not the same without you behind them.
Have a memorable day!
A Happy and Glorious birthday, gymkhana!(wherever you are!
)
oops! sorry! I must've gotten confused there for a minute...forgive me, folks
Take a little spin in your new car today and imagine all of us here singing you "Happy Birthday". Hope you haven't forgotten how to find the board. They say the mind is the 2nd thing to go
.
Maverick has asked me to convey his thanks and kind regards to you good folk here. His work has unexpectedly sent him out of town for a few days.
Consuelo, you are a riot! Should we ask him if he's lost the first thing yet?? <eg>
Mav!! Happy birthday, and yeah, I'm sure there's a masculine inflection somewhere there on 'dedwydd' but hey, it's the thought that counts.
Hope to see you back here soon. I am among the many who miss your wit and wisdom.
Belated birthday wishes, mav. Hope you had a whale of a time.
Bingley
Te fuistes y nunca te conocí. De todas maneras te deseo un feliz cumpleaños(aunque sea tarde) y Feliz Navidad.
Belated December birthday felicitations to both Maverick and Juanmaria; hope the holiday bustle adds to, rather than detracts from, your special days! Enjoy!
Thanks all for the kind thoughts.
and *no, Jackie, I may be losing my mind, but. *EG*
Augh--this is the Birthdays thread, but I cannot resist: mav, look what you said 13 months ago!
Ah, the memory's the first to go... never mind, dear, have a biscuit and a nice cup of teahttp://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=8771
[music notes icon]
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, Dear Sweet WO'N,
Happy Birthday to you.[/music notes icon]
So, tell us, Dear--how does it feel to be an old man?
I didn't know if you were a Flat or thread mode reader...
but what ever the case, a happy birthday to you, and the best wishes for many happy returns..
(and is Jackie right, are you an old man now? or have you just come of of age??)
WO'N - Best wishes for a fun filled B-day.
If you stay up late enough
you can *peck the 50,000th post (only 28 to go (if you count like a musician)).
Happy Birthday, V ~ er, David ;) and however many years lie behind you, may it celebrate the start of a cracking new year ahead.
I thought that thingy behind your name said (old hand) not (old man). Sumpin' to be said for 'sperience. Have a very Happy Birthday, Old Hand.
PS I sent the kiss Special Delivery. Did you get it?
Just to thank everyone for their very thoughtful and kind birthday greetings!
And, thanks, Connie! I was going to point out the
hand instead of
man, and, perhaps, recommend to Jackie and Helen a trip to the optometrist!
But, unfortunately, the
old in the appellation seems to be there either way. [sigh-e]
Thanks again, y'all!
This is why they call me the late nancyk
. Happy belated, WO'N!
And, as long as I'm here: Happy one-day-early greetings to Xara!
May you both have many, many more wonderful years ahead.
Happy Birthday, Xara. May all your birthdays be as sweet as you.
Xara, have a wonderful day. Come see us when you can.
Hope your birthday was the happiest yet, Xara! (wherever you are!)
Happy Birthday, Xara! May the days of this year taste sweet to you.
btw, does oneany have any further clue about whose daybirth may be next, and if so when!?
to everyone who suffered through another birthday this year, always remember: it's not another year older; it's another year of life wasted in a banal dance with the mundane, edging precariously close to the precipice of decay and death.

How 'bout another year of life relished in a whirling-dervish spin with the mystical, stepping provocatively into the fountainhead of renewal and life?
From the opposite side of the fence,

Aquarius underborn was I; AW so far the first is.

-joe bfstplkPheww! Talk about the meaning of meaninglessness. Hey, Joe...I've got a New Year's slogan for you:
Annihilate Nihilism! You wanna t-shirt?
Ah, so down to 19 days we have it narrowed. Discover it yet we shall.
Belated happy birthdays to the December babies ~ W'ON, JuanM, and Xara ~ here's hoping your birthdays didn't fall through the christmas cracks! [hi joe!]
Aquarius underborn was I; AW so far the first is.Yeah, thanks for that, Yoda. May the force be with you ...
Gosh, Thanks everybody! It's nice to know I'm remembered (and missed).
To xara and W O'N,whose natal days fell during my absence, belated birthday greetings.
Birthday greetings also to the serpent who dispatched the Serpent of the Nile.

Happy birthday, Mrs Mozart
I'm out of town until the 11th (for some badly needed R&R), but i didn't want to miss the chance to wish Happy Birthdays to three of my favorite AWADers:
Hyla
Shanks
and
WOWHope each of your days are(is???
) every bit as special as you are!!!
and a belated happy birthday to SWHBIF i'd like to wish, too.
Happy Birthday, Shoshannah, and I hope you are doing well.
Happy Birthday also to you, sweet Hyla-chic. Give those precious babies a kiss for me, and thanks for the pic!
Feliz Cumpleaños to Hyla-Froggy Daddy and Shoshannah, wherever you may be.
All the best for a great year of daddy froghood, Hyla
Happy belated Shoshannah and Hyla - You share a birthday with my son-in-law. He partied a little too hardy. Hopefully you didn't. Its too hard to take care of demanding babies with one arm wrapped around the porcelain. (Hope it was fun for you both, none the less.)

Happy Birthday fellow Februarians! And happy days to all celebrating this year.
Hugs all around.
Hope you had the happiest of Birthdays, Froggy Daddy, with all the little froggies!
Miss you around here, but we know how hoppingly busy you are keeping up with the little ones!
Found on todays' home page of bartleby.com:
Happy 190th Birthday, Dickens! And many more postings!
If I remember the theatrical version of your Oliver Twist: "Pease sir, I want some more!"
Happy Birthday to Shanks and WOW. Your presence on AWADtalk help to make it the special place it is. Have a great weekend.
I'll second that, Satin - hope you post again sometime soon, Shanks, and have a great weekend, both!
Happy Birthday to the great WOW. Let's see, that makes you 47, right
? Air kiss one cheek, air kiss the other cheek, and a big hug. That's the way they do it down Mexico way. Feliz Cumpleaños.
Shanks, I really was going to wish you a happy birthday yesterday, but.....air kiss air kiss hug to you ,too. One day late.
February's a big birthday month is my family (mother-in-law, son, uncle, husband), so felicitations also to members of the AWAD family celebrating this month. Especially WOW, since today's THE DAY! Every happiness!
Happy birthday, wow. I recall of a poet's remark to a woman quailing before a birthday: "How old is Spring, Miranda?"
A bright Happy Birthday, wow! Hope you're celebrating Mardi Gras style!
Actually you can just continue the Patriot's party right into Fat Tueday...
three parties all rolled into one! Enjoy, O High Priestess!
A tumult of cheer and laughter!...evidently!
Thank you all for your good wishes. Deeply appreciated.
Love that "How old is Spring, Miranda?"!I intend to use it often.I do not despair of another birthday. Like the man said - it beats the alternative. Rather I revel in every year and the excuse age gives me to say exactly what's on my mind, to never have to do anything I don't want to do, and especially to not be afraid of being too sentimental or mushy when I tell friends how much they are loved. Like you all.
Hugs all around.
AHIP!
Age Hath Its Privilege Hurrah!
WOW - Happy Anniversary!
I hope you'll enjoy your favorite music and food... not necessarily together!
AnnaS, Alex, Hyla, Shoshannaand, Shanks (If yer all still around) a belated wish for the same, even if it is Mozart
.
Belated felicitations to you WOW.
Bingley
Happy Birthday to you Emanuela. Enjoy!
Yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Emanuela, my dear friend.
Happy Birthday Emanuela ~ may it be the first day of a happy year for you.
Or, in Italian:
Buon compleanno, cara Emanuela, dai tuoi amici del Board!
[sorriso]
Grazie grazie grazie.
I miss the words to express my loving feeling of belonging to this Board.. Hope that this can suggest what I mean.
And, Bean : your Italian is absolutely PERFECT !
Many happy returns emanuella! Hope it was a happy one!
Happy Birtday emanuela. I hope you had a great day and wish you all the best for the coming year.
The Happiest of Birthdays, emanuela! Hope your day was full of enchantment and revelry!
emanuela - Here, on the midwestern seaboard, it's still your day, so...
I hope your day was filled with the pleasures of a thousand carnivals and the joy of good friends to share them with!
Cheers
Happy slightly belated birthday, Em. Hope it was excellent!
Well, I'm always misreading stuff while trying to scan too quickly, but this one I have to share. I read musick's wish as "I hope your day was filled with the pleasures of a thousand camels and the joy of good friends to share them with!" Which perhaps explains the origins of the slang meaning of "hump"....
Is that a one-hump camel or a two-hump camel?
Harrumph®!
Hope you are having one heck of a birthday party doc comfort. Congrats and Many happy returns.
ai, salut doc
I hope your birthday is filled with joy and love.
Gin.
Wishing you a sunny summer birthday, doc! (from down here on the winterside of the world!)
Hey Doc! Happy birthday to you! Many, many, happy returns!
My prescription for your birthday? Take the night out, celebrate the Aussie Golds, tip up a few frosties and call me in the morning.
Hope it's a really, really good one.
Connie
Have a great b-day on your home turf. Glad you're back.
Here's wishin' you a Big Welcome Back Birthday Bash!...Hope you make the most of it! Glad to see ya back again!
Hope you're having a good weekend, BY. Glad you found your way home!
