It is already 9th here in Oz.... Poor Mick is stuck in a hotel room due to work commitments and can't be near his family on this special day.....

Hope you have a Happy Birthday anyway.... I'm sure they'll keep your party until you get home.

Here's a BIG hug from Down Under.....

Love

alison

Happy Birthday, dear friend. I'm sitting in front of my computer with my party hat on, blowing a noisemaker, and I haven't done that since, oh, last Wednesday.

Love, and a serious hug,
Jeri

Mick, yer the only sainted hero I know who runs around with a potato up 'is arse: that makes ye special indeed. And you know that I'm not joking about the hero stuff: it takes a real man to dedicate his life to the good fight.

Ahoy there Mick ~~~~~ It must be intuition ~ I was celebrating your birthday before I knew it was your birthday. A friend opened a keg of home made beer and we spent the evening singing songs and working on the keg. I knew there must have been a very good reason for the party.

Happy Birthday

Hey Big Mick, select a song such as you would play for your best friend on their birthday, and play it to yourself from me! Happy Birthday....(and do check the batteries in the smoke alarm before lighting all those candles!)

Mick ... Happiest of days to you my friend. Oy, we moan and groan about another birthday and getting older, but let's face it, the alternative is worse. So enjoy what age brings to you. To quote Garson Kanin, "Youth is a gift of nature. Age is a work of art." ... moonchild

I'm sorry Mr. Big Mick if you have never gotten greetings from a piece of clay before...I want to be the first. Because you and Catspaw like to pick at each other in fun, it made me think of that old expression about picking friends and noses. Sorry to say I'm just a little clay possum so I don't have any money, but if I did, I would get ONE OF THESE for you and for the rest of the "Layabout Firm" as well.

Happy Birthday Mr. Big Mick

Jeezus, I allmost missed this. And a Happy Birthday to you Big Mick. Sure and its been a pleasure a-meetin' you, here and in person.

Your heart and passion are part of what keeps me on the Mudcat. May you fight the good fight and win a few. May your days be long and prosperous. May you someday meet THE FAR ONE face-to-face and give her a sweet gentlemanly kiss on the cheek and a strong hug.

A Happy Birthday to you and many more.

No, no, it WAS the Far One -- The Other One is wishing him happy birthday from underneath. Which means ... well, who's on TOP, fer hebn's sake?

Ah, ya Big Mick, I love you madly and am happier than happy that I've gotten to know you this year. Thanks for the music you sent my way -- it continues to add joy to my life (Yes, I've actually learned a couple of them).

So,

Happy Day o' Birth, Oh, Big Red One!!!
