Happy Birthday Lirith! I hope you enjoy the day and are spoiled properly.

Happy Birthday Jarah!

And a late but still well within socially acceptable standards (I hope) Happy Birthday to you Enig.

I heard there was going to be a religion devoted to Gwain so I am lurking about again. There had better be cake at the orientation meeting.

Happy Birthday to Harroghty and Briek!

I wish you both a day of Knightly revelry!

Wow! Babies and marriage and lost cats....sounds like the beginning of a Judd Apatow movie. Harroghty, many congratulations to you. 11 lb. 7 oz? Goodness, when the lad becomes a NFL Defensive End in about 22 years I get first rights to some guest tickets. Dapher, congrats to you as well! I hope that...

Thank you for putting it on! It was a fun time.

Do you mean besides the millionth time I have created an elaborate smote of departure that in some way involves: Saying My Goodbyes Bowing/Nodding/Showing some other form of respect Throw away one-liner Kissing/Winking/Hugging anything that doesn't fight back Dramatically Turning Away and Striding o...

Thank you all for the kind wishes. I don't say this often enough but the group here is really fantastic. I can easily say that this fine environment that the admins and the members have created is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in my 40 years. I have wandered off before and always ...

Right now it looks like a very strong possibility that I can make that. Saturday afternoons can be a bit tricky because yard work and other fun jobs have been known to appear unexpectedly. I will update my status if it changes.

Was there ever any doubt that the owner/operator of the mage Rainbow Brite equivalent would know all there is to know about making things different colors?

Thanks for the good info Lirith. I am going to give that a whirl.

That was exactly my theory on dating in college.

Well done and congrats Mele on both items! Do you have any tips and/or tricks on how you did it? As I am cruising towards the downhill side of that 40 milestone and I don't see my love for Hostess products or pizza diminishing I am always looking for good ideas to stay in decent shape. There is one ...

And people say I have crazy parties on a Friday night. Goodness.

Happy Birthday Algon!

I only participated in the very beginning before RL commitments dragged me away but the setup and early work was top notch. Thank you very much for setting it all up. There may be some truth to the rumor that I prepared myself an omelet later on in the evening in honor of the event. Fine, I did it. ...

Congrats on the promotion, Alitar! I hope it is one of those 'oh the large amount of pay increase is just staggering..look at all the zeros after that number' promotions and not one of those 'oh the large amount of additional work with no extra pay is just staggering...look at all the zeros in my bl...

Speaking as an American, a heartily endorse the concept of independence from England. It turned out okay for us so far except for the whole 'soccer less popular here than hockey and only slightly more popular than tennis and professional wrestling' thing. That being said, I have not read anything ab...

Later to the party than even Lirith, as usual. Hmm..or lets just say that I knew that you wouldn't be recovered enough from your birthday indulgences to be able to read anything less than 20 point font for a couple of days. In that case I am right on time with my Happy Birthday wishes to both of you.

Crazy time of year has settled into the more normal hectic time of year. I should be on with more regularity now.

Todd

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
