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??
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.
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 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.
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>
Belated December birthday felicitations to both Maverick and Juanmaria; hope the holiday bustle adds to, rather than detracts from, your special days! Enjoy!
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.
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?

Pheww! Talk about the meaning of meaninglessness. Hey, Joe...I've got a New Year's slogan for you:
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!]
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 WOW
Hope 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 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.)
FEBRUARY birthdays 3 Hyla 3 Shoshannah 9 Shanks 10 wow 13 Emanuela 18 doc_comfort 24 Belligerentyouth 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!
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 Cumpleaņos.
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!
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!
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 !
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"....
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
