As in, "Show me your medal", eh?

thanks, Jackie, and Mav!

and I think he's a pretty lucky guy, Jackie. no matter what anyone says...

lucky guy

Agreed. "Is that a long service medal or are you...?"

Thanks, ya'll! We ate at the Outback Steak House tonight; only my second time (though not for lack of trying--when I've wanted to go there, say, on my birthday, it's always such a long wait that I get discouraged), and it was delicious. And even now, on a rainy weeknight, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table.

Happy Birthday etaoin and Happy Anniversary Jackie!

Both of you are fine folks. Sure, you two have your little idiosyncrasies, but most of the time you hide them so well that some people barely notice. I mean, of course the people who know you best and have to interact with you on a daily basis must suffer through your many quirks and on and off ill-temperments, but hey...that's what love-ones are for...right? But still, I wonder how they...

Wait a minute! This is your birthday, etaoin, and Jackie this is your anniversary, right? What the heck, for now let us all just forget your minor flaws and wish you both a happy day...yesterday.

themilum:

Can't you help yourself at all? Why do you have to snipe like that? It reveals nothing but an underlying meanness of spirit which we do neither appreciate nor condone at AWADtalk.

I will repeat: the library is over that way.

TEd

Mmm TEd, does your skill at puning preclude other forms of wit?

Who on God's green Earth, I ask, other than TEd, can't discern the fact that my post was in jest?
Jeez!

And by the way, Ted, please explain the humor you find in referring me to the library.
Please.

And by the way...TEd. Who exactly is this "WE" that doesn't appreciate and doesn't condone?
And how did you get to be their spokesman?

er, TEd, for however laudable reason I think that may have been an over-reaction. I certainly chuckled at Milo's ribbing, and I reckon Jackie and eta are big enough to take it in stride.

Let's breathe slowly before starting lobbing bricks at each other, eh guys?

I apologize, Maverick and everybody, a smarter man would have stopped after saying that he was just kidding.

The June list looks pretty meager; maybe I can help - my birthday's June 9th.

Happy Birthday Aniami!

Excuse me Aniami for Happy Birthdaying you in advance but on June the 9th I have an early appointment for a haircut and then I plan to do some shopping and will pretty much be busy all day. That night I plan to go bowling, so Happy Birthday now!

me....11/24 thanks

if at first you don't frickasee, fry, fry a hen

Hi zweetz! Welcome to the madhouse.

Nice pun. When I went to the ag school I didn't do well, and was voted most likely to sack seed. My girl friend, who was an unrepentant southerner, was voted most likely to secede.

Hippo bird-day two ewes, TEd and Jackie. I just HAD to re-use my favorite b'day greeting. Mine's 29 October... and I don't hafta give the year!

Thanks, amnow! Hee, hee--I love that greeting! I was on my computer very little last week: both my kids were home on spring break. (Wasn't it nice of their separate universities to coordinate that just for us? ) We had a nice time, catching up, visiting, shopping, and watching late-night movies together.
They both went back to school yesterday, but the air in the house seems to be still faintly vibrating from their in-and-out-ness, their upstairs-and-down-ness, their on-and-off-the phone-ness, etc., as though they have left echoes of themselves behind. Busy people, those two, and content to be so. I imagine that by tomorrow the air will be quiet again. This week was especially precious because we already know that our son has a job that will keep him away from home for most of the summer, and there is a chance that our daughter will do the same...sigh. I mean, I knew from the beginning, of course, that we would eventually lose them; but I wasn't expecting it to be before they got out of college.
(Oh--my b-day was nice, too. I had not one, not two, but three b-day cakes! Got some nice gifts from the family, and allowed myself to go on a shopping spree--bought a few antique postcards, a new purse, and a movie: Same Time Next Year. Maybe I'll watch it today.)

happy birthdays to all those I've missed. I'll probably be missing more, but the good wishes are still there.

Happy birthday David, Steven and Werner - sorry to be a little late, but I hope it was a good day for you all.

Thanks, Mav!

Happy birthday Werner and Steve!

It was an unusal birthday, for me. I spent it sitting on a jury.

One gets double points in Heaven for sitting on a jury on one's birthday ... I have it on the very highest authority.

> highest authority

lol! Gotta love this man :)

Wheeeee!

Ta, love. It's now March '05, but I am taking it anyway.

It was an unusal birthday, for me. I spent it sitting on a jury. ~ inselpeter

That reminds me:

Magistrate ~ Would the accused please give his name and address.
Accused ~ Joseph Smith, sir, and I live in Bury.
Magistrate ~ It should be Berry, my man.
Accused ~ No sir, it’s Bury.
Magistrate ~ But it’s pronounced Berry, not Bury!
Accused ~ If you say so sir.
Magistrate ~ Why are you laughing?
Accused ~ It just struck me that the 11 people over there think they’re sitting on the jury.

Have a good day, whatever you're up to Bob.

Rainy day - 5/15 (beware the ides...)

Hey Welcome, Bazr.

So now its your birthday (I found the thread)

Wow, you really are digging around. Look how long ago
those posts are, way back when I joined.

I went looking, specific like, as I wanted to post birthday wishes for Mr Shrdlu

If you notice over on the calendar on the right hand side
the Jan 4 date is underlined. It says etaoins birthday.
That is Buff...he changed his name to Shrdlu a few months
ago.

Yes...see that now, thanks for pointing me it that direction.

and thank you for thinking of me!!

Congrats Shrldlu. Where's the flower on your hat?

Your birthday search got me looking over there, something
I guess I'll have to do from now on, more often, that is.
I knew birthdays were there when I joined but just
sort of quit looking on that side.

I thought of you, Buffy. Just never got around to doing anything about it.

heh

You might have to update the inital post Jackie and put mine in for March

Not many this month, but musick's coming up on the 22nd

July will make us fat, sharing all the birthday cakes.

WELCOME PIPAT

Thanks Wordsmith for my birthday wishes yesterday....pity I was away, cause I missed seeing my cake!

Felicitous Natal Advent
