Well! I do appreciate the good thoughts and wishes. Thanks, Barbry (and everyone else)....now, send healing thoughts to help me get rid of this cough & sore throat. (that sweet wife has had it for over a week...I thought I had avoided catching her cold - until yesterday)

Ah well....I will be philosophical (what else?) and bask in the glow of all these thoughts as I gobble another Vitamin C and prepare for our folk festival/craft show at Glen Echo Park on th 31st.

(I don't 'think' I have ever been sick on my birthday before....but at my advanced age...*grin*...the memory is not to be trusted!)

Happy Birth, Day!

As well, of course, as best wishes for the ensuing year that it marks.

Among loads of talk to read through on The Cat, you are a constant source of wit, as well as knowledge and wisdom (not always the same thing), and one of the select names that when seen makes it automaticly worth checking out the post, regardless of subject. And to have you and Rita as local friends is always an added bonus.

One of the few Bills that we always look forward to coming due, and this is your due date.

...."Due date, due date, O Due Date Day" (Wheaton Ladies sing dat song).

So Rita can also serenade you with the song Little Esther Phillips used to sing so well, "What A Difference A Day Makes", and you can let the celebration begin! Enjoy!







....So, is it true you became Bill D rather than B Day to avoid all that French bathroom humor?

Or you could love long and happy and have a great time too.....just a passing thought, much like passing gas and about as valuable. Then again with the price of crude steadily leaping toward the stars, flatulence might actually gain some monetary value as opposed to just comedic. The fact that none of this has a damn thing to do with your birthday also makes perfect sense as I'm the one writing it.

And speaking of weird birthday thoughts, should Tweed show up here he's likely to write "Happy Birthday Susan" to YOU. I read on Wyzzy's birthday thread that the only thing he can ever think of to write is "Happy Birthday Susan." Tweed isn't all there anymore and has more than his fair share of screws loose.

And speaking of loose screws or cannons or something..........If all this seems a bit disjointed I blame it on Amos, Ron Davies and the rest of Barack's Wild Bunch who seem to have taken zealotry to a new level. I like Obama and all but damn!   I spent the past half hour reading political threads and I can only hope that November comes early this year. My birthday advice to you is to no longer try to inject anything reasonable or logical into the running political or Mideast threads lest your brain implode under the weight of their collective non-sensical emotional ramblings.

And btw...............................

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!!!

Kinda' wanted to ace out Tweed there........Give Rita a hug for me

I'm too late...Susan/WYSI has claimed rights (on her thread) to be
"the evil twin".

Oh, I DO appreciate the wit & humor...(as Severn says about 'knowlege & wisdom', not necessarily the same thing)...of my friends here....where I can turn 'em off at any time..*grin*

And since I can't think clearly enuf to reply to each, in the manner they deserve¹, I'll finish my BLT sandwich and go lie down

Happy Birthday to one of the Best- got that right.

Bill, it occurred to me the other day that when we have a birthday we do not become a year older- only one day. And that, we can handle.

Happy birthday, Bill! Even if it is a little belated. Funny that I should log on to the 'cat this evening and see a birthday thread to you when I invoked your name earlier as we were cutting up a humongous red oak with the most beautiful grain and I said: "I bet Bill D. would love a chunk of this!"

Gee, Bill, I hope your cold doesn't do what mine did. I had a "mild" but congested cold for about 10 days & then it went into one zinger of an ear infection. I missed 7 days of work & now, 2 weeks later, I'm still weak & can't hear normally. Sigh.
