A belated HB to Flats and BobY! (for some reason my browser still declines to open a few seemingly random threads, including the last one of these fellers)

Happy Birthday, Keiva, my dear. I hope it is a good one.

Happiest day, Keiva! If your cake is devil's food, puh-lease send me a piece o'it!

A wordwind to blow out those many candles for you!

just wanted to pop in to wish a VERY Happy Birthday to one of my favorite AWADers, who has failed to put her name on the list ~ hope your special day is as sweet and bright as you are =)
Posted By: boronia Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/23/02 03:31 PM
Happy birthday wishes to Keiva!

And let's not forget Shakespeare, who should be an honorary AWADer! (Not quite sure which birthday this'd be for him -- maybe 428th?)

Posted By: milum Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/23/02 06:27 PM
Synchronicity - You can't escape it. I bet not in a thousand years would Shakespeare have thought that he would have been born on Keiva's birthday.

But rather than quoting Shakespeare in honor of your birthday I was gonna recite Carl Sandburg's poem Chicago -city of the big shoulders, but I couldn't find it. The only poem I could find by Carl Sandburg was The Lawyers Know Too Much, you know, the one with the rude refrain, tell me why a hearse horse snickers when he hauls a lawyers bones. So instead I searched the google for the meaning of your adopted name...

Keiva:
Your first name of Keiva has given you a responsible, expressive, inspirational, and friendly personality. Expression comes naturally to you and you are rarely at a loss for words; in fact, you have to put forth effort at times to curb an over-active tongue. Self-confidence has made it easy for you to meet people and you are well-liked , happy birthday Keiva.

I concur, >>HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEIVA<< I just sat down a empty glass in your honor.
                    




Posted By: Keiva Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/23/02 07:07 PM
Dear milum,
And who do you think emptied that glass? [burp -e]

Posted By: Wordwind Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/23/02 08:13 PM
Keiva and Milum:

An empty glass of what, I ask you, Milum in particular 'cause I've asked a lot before?????

Fill in the blank--it's easy! _________________________

A very happy birthday to you Jazz. Eat, drink (milk) and be merry for tomorrow are exams (I'm assuming you are on the same schedule as the University folks here).

P.S. Happy belated birthday to all that I have missed sending birthday greetings to this month.

Happy Birthday, Jazzo, as your first year of college is winding down. Hope you had to time to celebrate!

Happy Birthday, Jazzo! Hope finals aren't precluding a proper celebration - can't study all the time, ya know. (But promise you won't tell my U of M son I said that!)

Posted By: Bobyoungbalt Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/25/02 01:25 AM
My best wishes also, Jazzo. I look forward to spending another year in your company here.

Posted By: Jazzoctopus Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/25/02 01:40 AM
Thank you all for the greetings. I've actually managed to have a very good day despite the amount of work I've had to do. Fortunately, I don't have exams this week. I guess it may be mid-term, but none of my classes have a test. I do have an art history one next week, but that's not something to worry about right now.

As far as celebrations go, I went out to lunch and ice cream (Graeter's) with my dad. He works in the medical research part of the campus, so it's not exactly a big ordeal. The rest of my birthday is being delayed until Friday evening, when the rest of my family will be taking me to dinner. And then I get to go to Columbus, Indiana on Saturday to study the architecture with my class.

One nice thing that I didn't plan was a fascinating architecture lecture this afternoon. It didn't really have much to do with architecture, though. The speaker mainly talked about the evolution of the eye, reading at a glance, and music, but all that is a matter for another thread. Unfortunately, I didn't get to hear the very end because I had my human diversity class at 6:00, but in that we had a great discussion about what qualifies a being as human. Now I'm watching the Amazing Race.

A very nice day, considering. Thanks all.

A BIRTHDAY POEM

Happy Birthday to Jazzoctopus
The only rhyme I found
Was Duck-billed platypus
At least you're not twos or threes
I know no rhyme for Jazzoctopusies.

<HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAZZO>

Figured you'd be out collegially carousing earier, but perhaps now you'll be back to see this. Hope you celebrated to memorable excess!

Posted By: Keiva Re: thank you to all. - 04/26/02 07:12 PM
All thanks to you for your warm birthday wishes.

My wife and I spent a marvelous afternoon strolling though a show of the superb work of Dale Chihuly, the leading pioneer in today's development of glass as a fine art. The show's venue is particularly striking, for the works are not displayed standing alone: they play off of a naturalistical setting amid the plants in Chicago's conservatory in Garfield Park.

It is truely a stunning exhibit, which I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting our city.

To view a few of the works in situ, see the conservatory' site at http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/index.html, and then click to "Chihuly in the Park". For far more, run though the various sub-pages of Chihuly's site at
http://www.chihuly.com/installations/garfield

By odd circumstance, this visit leads to a new word-thread in Q&A.

No Post of your's to respond to.. so i'll just tag it on at the end..

Stales, mate, hoping you've had the best of birthdays. (And didn't have to spend it crawling around in a hole underground, or frying in some gravel pit.)

Posted By: Wordwind Re: Birthdays Vol. 6/ begun April 22 - 04/26/02 10:10 PM
Ah, Stales, would have wished you a happy day early this morning but my laptop crashed for the THIRD time in seven months!!!!!!

Anyway, I hope your day--and you're probably asleep--was filled with good wishes and at least one memorable adventure. I'm awfully thankful you're one of us here--and glad you came into this world, oh, so long ago!

Happy birthday,

Scribbler, loan us some sonorous words if you will, and celebrate your birthday with some style.

Helen, may you launch a thousand dreams upon the floods this day, and may your barques and brigantines bring bounty back within the harbour of your arms.

Happy birthday, both.

May all you do bring you joy and mirth
These are my wishes
Partake of all dishes
And party for all you are worth!


For Scribbler who is no longer visible
Your absence has become something quizzable
We give you all our best wishes
And send you our fondest smoochkishes
May your birthday be delightfully dazzle-able

Happy birthday, girlfriend.

No more befitting day could have been the one for your entrance into this world breaking out of its chills and shivers into full spring than May 1st, the outrageous, lusty month and our Helen, stepping boldly and lustily, too, into spring just propogating itself everywhere we look and Helen, just enjoying every animated love scene she sees, and taking it all down in her sweet head that has launched at least a thousand ideas here on this board, not to mention the ships of lore that went to war. Ah, would be fun just to continue to run-on...

But, Helen, happy birthday! I cannot think of a better day than the first of May that could have opened its bright doors to your entrance here. Hope you have a succulent feast to celebrate the occasion and a huge devil's food cake with homemade fudge icing, and a little left over of the devil's food cake to send to DubDub...not that I'm begging or anything...

Birthday regards,
Wordwind

Happy Birthday Helen

Let's not forget last night,
(Yeah) how we drove along the Yarra,
How we sang harmonies to Carole King.
These three years now just gone,
They are the legends of my mind,
We both kneel at these rocks and drink of the memories

You are the tunes in my head,
The fire in my ribs, .
You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion
Happy Bithday Helen.

We kissed on that bridge that fell down
While we held hands at the Taj,
We've been stuck in a cave with that bloke who says 'Oi Am',
And when I cried for my cruel heart,
You rubbed my back 'til I felt better,
We ate bread on the lake and yearned for the seasons.

You are the tunes in my head,
The fire in my ribs, .
You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion
Happy Bithday Helen.

You are the tunes in my head,
The fire in my ribs,
You are the voice in my heart that whispers compassion
You are the storm on the ocean,
The poems in the trees,
The smell of the winter that haunts me each Autumn
My everything
You are my everything .
You are my everything

Happy Birthday Helen
