IT'S JERI'S BIRTHDAY!

From: curmudgeon

Today is Jeri's natal day,
Let's all stand up and shout hooray.
This is the day to yell and cheer
And toast her with a glass of beer!

Have a great day Jeri and maybe someone out there will improve upon the hastily composed doggeral above.
Cheers -- Tom

Happy birthday, Jeri! I'm celebrating by going to the dentist,

Seriously, have a great day, and YOU go ahead and toast yourself all you want!

Again, let's not irritate Joe by having the same thing being said by everyone! In this case Jeri, let me hav this guy I know sing Happy Birthday to you. His Dad was a redneck that married a Cockney girl and he's a product of that mating......a moron who speaks like Elmer Fudd:

Happy Biwffday t'yo',
Happy Biwffday t'yo',
Happy Biwffday Deaw Dgehi,
Happy Biwffday t'yo'

Today with my small glass of Sherry
My reminders have made me feel merry
On my screen in bright blue
Was "Happy Birthday to you"
And the person addressed is friend Jeri

I thought back to woods full of samphire
And songs round an indoor cold campfire
You and Goddess of Bat
And the wonderful chat
Over breakfast near Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Happy Birthday Jeri, loving hugs and stuff
from your friend

There once was a lady named Jeri
Whom ladybug plagues made unmerry
She squished them and squeezed them
She tried to appease them
Her obsession makes Mudcatters worry.

Best I could do on the fly (A PUN!...sort of)
Happy Birthday, Jeri!

She's cute, she's sweet, she knows how to fiddle

She's pretty darn good at solving a riddle

Lift a glass to her parents where'er they may be

And celebrate Jeri-on-Earth with me!!

Happy Birthday, Jeri!

Why was I born so beautiful?
I wasn't, I must say -
I was wrinkly, red, and bellowed
And that's still true today

Thank you all for the gifts of your words!
Hugs all 'round -
Jeri,
Who hopes to still be delighted by acts of kindness, love, and silly fun, no matter how old I get!

Jeri,

I was going to say that I will celebrate by going to the eye doctor. THE BETTER TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACE.

But the d**n technology got ahead of me again.

Have a great day and raise a glass or two in deserved celebration.

Birthdays are Holy Days in my house..it's tradition.

Due to some wierd ancestral mating blurb of long ago, (Barvarian gypsy and Celt princess) we inherited a few very potent old magic charms. One of these magical jewels is a Birthday Gift. I have taken it upon myself to unleash the magical spirit so it can settle upon you today, Jeri. Now, all you have to do is take a few minutes alone at some point today. Bless the past. See in your mind the freshly newborn child (that is you). Welcome that child into the universe with love. Now, think about a wish you really would like see unfold for you this coming year. Put that wish gently into the hands of Jeri, the newborn. Bless the child, the wish and the year to come. Finally, feel the blessings that you, the newborn, are lavishing upon you, the Woman. Agree with the infant that the seed of your wish has been planted. Agree that you both will tend to it as it grows this year.

There you have it...do that and the magic is activated!

Happy Birth Day!

A brightness this day we remember.

Greetings, hugs and Very Very
Best Returns to Sweet Young Jeri!
Best of Bright Eyes on the 'Cat!
And same wise to our Absent Matt!
Who sauntered off, arms all Akembo
Forgetting friends he made when Mbo!
But if when older, he should find us,
We'll count on Jeri to remind us
How Meebo grew beyond the 'Cat
And joined the real world, labeled "Matt"!

Happy Birthday, both of youse dear hearts.

Warmest regards,

A.

Jeri,
Had hoped to start this thread myself and then I completely missed posting on your actual day (but not by much!). I hope your day was wonderful and you have ahead of you many more years to charm us all with your songs and your tunes. I join all the above and those who will post after me in wishing you a most wonderful birthday and I look forward to seeing you soon. Survive the winter well and think NEFFA in April.

Much love, my friend,

...and as the sun fades on The Day After, I'd just like to thank folks for their wishes. I'm not big on birthday threads my own self. Sometimes I post, sometimes I PM, and sometimes I have no clue. Actually, I have no clue most of the time.

The fact remains that I'm very touched by the acknowledgement of people who've posted here or sent a PM.

Pene Azul has done a most cool thing on the "Member Photos and Info" page": he's made it so birthdays for that day automatically pop up. I'm going to try to check that page more often than I now do. Knowing how much your thoughts have meant to me, I'd feel bad if I'd been forgotten. I'll probably send PMs, because it's more personal, and Joe Offer might have a cow. I don't want Joe to have a cow.

Love and Thanks,
Jeri
