I can put the birthdays on a webpage by month & link to Mudcat, if it's ok w/ Max. Let's get back to some fun, now that Max has shocked a year off some of our lives!

Welcome back,

P.S.--Next April 1, I'm *not* checking the threads. BTW, where was Joe Offer when we needed him--still w/ the whales?

I was born in Norway, far far north in the land of the vikings on December 14th, 1971 :) (yes I know, one of the itty bitty people)

I decided to add my birthday since I'm now (as of a minute ago :)) a member of the mudcat cafe. I finally decided to join, having spent every available moment the last week (only discovered you a week ago), stuck in front of my computer reading up on threads and lyrics :). You really should put up a warning sign, saying higly addictive, this thing will turn your fingers keyboard shaped, your eyes square, and make the idea of doing anything vaguely sensible (work perhaps?) seem absolutely ridiculous. I must have spent hours and hours here, in stitches at some of the stuff you people have written, and I always have to check new threads when I come home, just in case I've missed something. I'm going to the Caribbean on holiday on Wednesday, and I decided this was getting a little much whenmy first thought was, 'but I'll miss a whole week!', so I'm now trying to ration time here :). I've travelled the internet quite a bit, but this is the first time I've ever found a place that I've actually wished I could be part of, so I decided to jump in and try it :). Congratulations on a really really cool place :)! Having read about you all, I hope you manage to have some sort of a get together at some point, as I'd be dying to see some of the characters here for myself :). You also seem to be a lovely mix of people, and from what I've seen you're warm, funny (hilarious at times), talented and full of surprises!

I'll not take up more space, this being a birthday thread and all....

Thanks for hours of great entertainment :)

Vibeke, now living in Stavanger in Norway

PS; I know it doesn't belong here in this thread, but I thought it might be worth a try :).. Is there anyone out there, who might have heard an irish song called The Night O'Rafferty's Pig Ran Away???

I'm sure glad to find so many young whippersnappers involved in the great folksong tradition. I was beginning to fear the enthusiasm would die out with my generation, but the Mudcat has restored my faith. Bless you all!

I will have a jar of the "vile black stuff" as the Fair Alison calls me beloved Guinness. But if I ever get her in a pub, I will have her drinkin' the stuff like a southerner (Southern Ireland, that is). Pull it for me on January 9.

Hi,

Is anyone game to catalogue this and organise it.... and put it somewhere so we can see at a glance (say on a month to month basis) who has a birthday coming up?

bbc - thanks birthyear sharer! This is a good idea. Sure don't embarrass anybody else with their OWN thread; make me stick out like a sore thumb!!!!hehehe

Really I LOVED it and am so grateful to all of you.) The personal message thing is a good idea, though.

Some of us love to be fussed over & others need consoling! Let's keep it simple--MONTH, your Mudcat name & date of birth (including place of birth, if you like). To get ages, you have to do the arithmatic! Instead of posting to Mudcat, let's send personal messages to the birthday kids of our choice! If you're not a member, we can't send you messages, so join!!!

Here's me--MARCH, bbc, 3-20-53, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Best to all you birthday-lovers out there,
