Subject: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Oct 07 - 08:33 AM 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Oct 07 - 08:58 AM 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 |

Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: MMario Date: 24 Oct 07 - 09:07 AM yup - gotta admit Sins has two modes of operation - one quiet, thoughtful, warm and giving. the other public, embaressing , but likewise thoughtful and giving. |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Rapparee Date: 24 Oct 07 - 09:07 AM Yeah, okay, whatever, Happy Birthday, many, many more, even though you're just a wee child. And I mean that. |

Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Midchuck Date: 24 Oct 07 - 09:58 AM Congratulations on reaching the age of reason. I think every single mudcatter who has ever received a gift from this lady should send her one immediately. Sweet Revenge! Peter |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: maeve Date: 24 Oct 07 - 10:24 AM 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. maeve |

Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Becca72 Date: 24 Oct 07 - 02:28 PM Oh, Irene...after that remark you'd better hope Sins doesn't have your address. If she does you can expect a "present" in the near future. LOL |

Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Severn Date: 24 Oct 07 - 07:37 PM Happy Birthday to a great lady! One could comb a thousand yard sales and never find a priceless treasure like you! Someday, I know they'll erect a atatue in your honor, but it will have to be lawn size! I guess I'll have to rely on my own fashion sense this year at Getaway. So who's going to be running the "Workshop Of Ill Repute" in your stead? |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: skipy Date: 24 Oct 07 - 08:17 PM I'll be away in Portugal as of later today, so happy Birfday. Skipy |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: CET Date: 24 Oct 07 - 08:56 PM And Happy Birthday from me too. I have many happy memories of Sinsull's hospitality, and not all of them involve cat pee. I wish you were going to the Getaway. I would really like to know how you got the gig of leading a workshop on songs about whores. Edmund |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: TRUBRIT Date: 24 Oct 07 - 09:06 PM Mary -- very many happies -- a lot of us are right behind youc in years, by the way. Meeting you these 5 or so years ago was a wonderful experience for me -- you introduced me to a music world that I wasn't aware existed in Maine and I can only thank you....... |

Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Janie Date: 24 Oct 07 - 10:34 PM Did you say you have a new found statue of a wise woman? All appendages attached? I think the real reason you aren't making the Getaway this year is fear of all the "presents" you might be surprised with! Indeed, you are both large of heart and wise of mind. Thank you for agreeing to be born. Happy Birthday and much love, Janie |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: Tinker Date: 24 Oct 07 - 10:35 PM Boy I'm glad I demanded the computer from the kids before this day got away from me.... To the lady who can pull our a bottle of "White grape juice " in a BYOB restuarant and with total aplomb explain how come the wine is in hiding for the weekend to the rather stunned waitress. Who pulls off insanity and makes you want to join on in.... Who always has a place to escape too... Who's sense of humor demand we all refuse to take our selves too seriously... Happy Birthday Boss Lady |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: KT Date: 24 Oct 07 - 11:10 PM 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! KT |

Love ya, Mary xx ( Jeezuz, how do you drink this stuff?) |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: SINSULL Date: 25 Oct 07 - 07:00 AM I must be special. Captain Morse himself called last night and SANG Happy Birthday to me. An incredible gift. Life is good. |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Oct 07 - 07:03 AM Well you must have a hangover this morning the Mary. Hope you had a lovely day, and welcome to my side of the decade. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: SINSULL'S 60th birthday - 24 October From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Oct 07 - 08:06 AM I think she's horrible - she had a bottle of champagne last night and wouldn't let me come over to share it! I thought we were friends! :0) |
