Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: Skipjack K8 Date: 08 Sep 00 - 07:19 AM Happy Birthday, young man! Didn't realise I am to wind'ard of you, by 18 whole months! Never would have guessed it from the eloquence and common sense shown in your posts. Old heads on young shoulders, or in my case, empty head on hard shoulder! Takes longer to recuperate, don't it?!

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: MudGuard Date: 08 Sep 00 - 07:01 AM Hello Jon, sorry if I am late by one day, but all the best wishes from Munich!!! All the fine views from Great Orme are still in my mind! Hope your college is going fine (can you manage to get up early enough ;-) ?). Thanks once more for your hospitality a few weeks ago! MudGuard |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: Jon Freeman Date: 08 Sep 00 - 03:02 AM Thanks everyone for the good wishes. For those wondering about my celebrations, I started at midnight on the 7th and had very little sleep before going to college (I was there in body but not in mind) and by the time 8pm came, I was shattered and I went to bed. I must have needed the sleep as I slept through till 7:30am. Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: momnopp Date: 07 Sep 00 - 09:43 PM Jon You're a Mudcat treasure. I know you hate all this attention -- all's the more reason we heap it upon you. Just keep being Jon; unpretentious, quiet, giving and always available to lend a hand, even to the stranger who comes and sleeps on your couch. . . Cheers to you, my good man. JudyO |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: Naemanson Date: 07 Sep 00 - 08:08 PM It was a dark night as Jon made his way home from the pub. He'd been celebrating his fortieth birthday with friends but they had all suddenly turned cold and practically shoved him out of the place. He was confused and somewhat downhearted as he fumbled for his keys. What had gotten into them? One minute he's drinking for free and the next he's standing in the late summer air listening to the noise of the pub from outside. Jon tipped his head back to look at the stars. He stumbled a bit. "One too many for a little trick like that." he thought to himself. The key seemed to have difficulty finding the keyhole but he managed at length to insert and turn it. The door swung open and he stepped in. He knew right away there was something out of place. There was at least one light out that he was sure he'd left burning. And the computer screen was dark where the screen saver should have been flickering. The room didn't feel right either. Not gloomy or foreboding there was a strangely expectant feel to the dark. Worry crinkled his forehead as he reached for the light switch. "SURPRISE!" roared from the crowd as the people swirled up from behind furniture and through doors. Stanfding in shock Jon realized his Mudcat friends had made the journey to welcome him into his forties. There was Spaw and Kat/Kat Laughing, Wyowoman and Liz the Squeak. Brendy shook his had and Petter T gave him a hug. More came forward to hand him drinks handshakes and snogs. And there were his friends from the pub laughing at how they'd put another over on him. Max grinned at him, held up his dobro, and shouted, "What, no music?" Somewhere in a corner Banjo Benny and Banjo Bonny began a bluegrass tune. Things were heating up... |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 07 Sep 00 - 07:39 PM Spaw, We all need it from time to time. And it's your turn to change Mbo's litter. I'm going back to the party. "For he's a jolly good fellow..." Love you Jon. |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Sep 00 - 06:50 PM Oh now don't suck up Sins........Jon doesn't need it. He's a big boy and can defend himself from the Evil Cantankerous Spaw. Run along now and see if Meebo needs another feeding or change or whatever.......... (I know its painful, but we do all love you Jon) Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON FREEMAN!!!! From: Catrin Date: 07 Sep 00 - 05:23 PM I was thinking of the phrase 'you sow what you reap'. You certainly have done a lot of 'sowing' Jon which is evidenced by the number of people who obviously care for you and appreciate your input. Keep it up, and good luck with your studies. Catrin May your circadian rhythm be ever flexible. |
