Thank you guys for all of the warm birthday wishes! Today was a rotten day at work, and to top it off my own wife and daughter didn't even wish me a happy birthday! Forgotten again! Then I got on the computer and you guys put a smile on my face! Thank you! I needed that!
And Annabelle, I'm 40 now, getting too old to party! Besides I'm broke and I have to work tomorrow. Maybe next year!

How could you even think that?? *shaking her head* I'm quite some years older than you and let me tell you man: It's NEVER too late and one is NEVER too old to party!!

A very Happy Birthday to you, Allen! sorry your wife and daughter forgot your birthday. I hope you reminded them and demanded cake and presents to make up for it all!
Hope you'll have a lot of fun (and of course yes Gaby you'll have a party ! ).

A very happy Birthday to you Gabby!! I hope you have a wonderful one. Those sons of yours better spoil you today or they'll have 'aunt' Elspeth to answer to!
And Wizardman, happy belated birthday to you. I feel awful, I let that day get past me without sending you a birthday greeting. And now I see your wife and daughter forgot. Rotton me. But, Annabelle and I came up with a system last year. After forty, birthdays become many day events, so let's pretend it's still your day!!

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
Happy birthday Gaberlunzie and Brandelynn! You have the same birthday as my son Connor(who turns six today). I hope you have a wonderful day.
