BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October

I know the lady started a birthday thread for herself and others, but I really think that she deserves one all to herself on this auspicious occasion.

Mary has been a real support to me since I moved to Maine and is unfailingly kind and generous to just about everyone she comes into contact with. I'm sure that there are an awful lot of Mudcatters out there who can attest to her acts of kindness, mostly done very quietly.

Many, many happy returns you old bag - live long, die very happy with chocolate in one hand and champagne in the other.

Happy B.D., Sins!!! Yours is an easy one to remember -- same day as my mother (but you're waaaay younger!).

I second Jacqui's wish -- live long, die very happy with chocolate in one hand and champagne in the other. And I suggest you celebrate the anniversary of your birth for at LEAST a month!

Have a great one!

Linn

Hideous Champagne flutes
memorable sings in the living room

You have given me , or shared some of the high points of the last few years, for which I thank you and I wish you the Happiest of Birthdays

The gift Sinsull has given me is the hand of friendship. I've already given her mine in return, thus I have my "sweet revenge".

Then there's the upcoming removal of a certain much-maligned statue that I'll be taking away for her; another birthday gift for Sinsull.

When I think of Mary, I think of a woman with tremendous (and a bit outrageous) wit, a very kind heart, abundant wisdom, and a profound and deep spirit. (All those who have the pleasure of her frequent company - I'm RIGHT, aren't I?)

Though I've never made it to one of those sing-arounds, I sure have enjoyed your virtual hospitality!

Happy Birthday Mary! And many more!

Mary, maybe it's an age discrimination thing. If a 21 year-old complains that they had to show their ID but the woman in front of them didn't, and the reason was, "She looked older," then the store's screwed.
