Sorry for missing it, my dear. You know I love ya, and I hope that you have many more. This will get you a double dose of hugs when I see you.

Love to you,

Mick

Oh damn - now I've got the guilt spread over at least four threads. (expecting thread police any second.) If you really want to be forgiven, there's a gathering in Jan you could show up at! (Yeah, yeah - I understand about work, but as long as I can conceive of a possibility, I nag.) Seriously, I feel guilty for making you feel guilty. Maybe we can have the Mudcat logo printed on sack cloth T-shirts...

Well, for what it's worth, I even say nice things about you to other people--vouching for your sanity (?) & good character to a certain someone who expects to see you later this month. Do I get any points for that? Sigh.

Do love you--really,

bbc

Clamgirl? Jeri? Seems I've missed several things!

Happy Birthday, anyway. I know you're a quick one, and this was so quick I missed it completely!

bbc, the "certain someone" told me you vouched for me. I don't know if I scored any points with the "sanity" part. Well, I guess it's important that I don't go around chewing on the furniture or randomly staring at folks. (Opinion: sanity is a matter of degrees, not a black and white, yes/no thing.)

OK, thank you one and all. Now stop with the guilt, already!!!

....oh, so chewing on furniture and staring at people isn't considered acceptable behavior? Why didn't someone tell me sooner? Anyway, Happy b-day from one "wing nut" to another.

gee, jeri, do we now need a disclaimer about the degrees of our mental stability here?..

"(Opinion: sanity is a matter of degrees, not a black and white, yes/no thing.) "

and some folks say there IS no "Sanity Clause"

oh, BTW, Happy Birthday...!!!*big grin*

Happy Birth Week. That's how I get off the hook for missin' 'em and it's fun for the recipient. Milk it girl, get whatever you can out of it, and celebrate as much as one can in THAT OTHER STATE.

Happy Birthday, Jeri,

I know this is belated, but that's the best I can do. I just don't daily Mudcat anymore. I hope you fiddled around all day.

Thank you all. I'm actually sort of embarrassed I got two threads. (I would have been embarrassed enough with one.) I appreciate all your good wishes.

Well, add my voice to the belated birthday chorus. It's been really great getting to know you this year, Jeri, and I look forward to many more musical and social gatherings. Hope your day was happy. I was too busy listening to the Conklin Ceili Band and eating pasta with Mick in Michigan to check on the 'Cat these past few days, so I missed the initial flurry of greetings. Jeri, I'm tellin' ya, you oughta go collect those hugs from Mick in person. I haven't seen such hospitality in Grand Rapids since Sandy Paton helped me run away from the Calvinists in 1974.

Jeri,

Hope your day was great. Sorry to be so late, too. Wish I had as good an excuse as Kath. Happy belated birthday. Hope to see you soon.

I continue to miss 'catter's b-days. Perhaps the secret of eternal youth is to let me keep track of your years. Anyhow, Many Happy Returns of the Day to you, Jeri, and many more. Cheers, Dave & Pam
