Subject: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Allan C. Date: 20 Dec 00 - 09:30 PM All day long I have had the nagging thought that there was something important I was overlooking. Finally, I remembered: Today is Alice's birthday! I have a special place in my heart for Alice. She was the first respondent to my very first post here on the Mudcat and she has been a faithful friend ever since. Alice, I hope this has been a grand day for you and that the coming year will be better than you could possibly imagine! Allan |

I too hope it was a wonderful day for both you and Ryan and that many more are to come. Now break out those long black gloves and let's tango!!! (You can skip the slinky dress......just wear the gloves) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 20 Dec 00 - 10:30 PM I just had a nice dinner out (fish and chips) courtesy of a friend, and had to be reminded a couple of times myself today that it was my birthday. Ryan used his paper route money to buy me a gift certificate for a 1/2 hour massage at a local spa. I am definitely ready for that! No birthday cake... I'm trying to avoid sugar. Now I see a thread that reminds me I need to send a photo to alison.
Thanks, everyone! Thanks for remembering, Allan! Alice |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 21 Dec 00 - 01:50 PM Thank you... thank you very much.
I really appreciate the greetings everyone, these messages (and my son) made my day! In case you are wondering, it was my 49th, and I feel fortunate to have made it this far, so I'm not complaining about anything!
Gratefully, Alice |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Allan C. Date: 20 Dec 02 - 05:48 PM Oddly enough, my opening post for this thread applies just as well today as it did two years ago. It is no coincidence at all, however, that the sentiments expressed above still apply as well. You are one of the true treasures to be found in this community of Mudcatters. Happy Birthday, Alice! |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 20 Dec 02 - 06:42 PM LOL, revived from 2000.... that's funny, Allan!! Thanks a bunch. The message is much appreciated. As other December/January babies know, we tend to get lost in the holiday madness. My birthday present was to find a Two Towers coupon ticket to be redeemed before Dec 31 taped to the refrigerator door. hmmmm.... no cake, either. My ninety year old neighbor did give me a bottle of wine, though. Alice |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 20 Dec 02 - 06:48 PM Allan, reviving an old happy birthday thread was genius. I just enjoyed reading the year 2000 thread again and pretending I'm 49 again. Maybe we should do this for everyone who has an existing birthday thread?? Joe, did that make you smile??? Alice |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: David Ingerson Date: 20 Dec 02 - 06:49 PM Breithlá sona, a Alice! (There must be some idiom for it but that's the best I can do here at work.) You were also an early respondant to some of my early posts, and always positive and knowledgeable. Your birthdate is appropriate--you are a sunny person! Thanks for being on Mudcat. David |

Just as Mudcat loaded, and I saw this thread, you began singing on my Mudcat CD, which I got today and am listening to for the first time. Feels like you gave me the present. I do enjoy your voice. Many more happy days, Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 21 Dec 02 - 12:03 PM Hey, Barbara, thanks a bunch. We had Meadowlark band practice last night. At the end I told Dave and Antonia that it was my birthday and brought out a raspberry cheescake and microbrewed ginger ale. I was then delighted and amazed when Ryan started singing a German happy birthday song to me! That was the hightlight of my day. Ryan never sings in front of people, and it was great to see him animatedly tell what they do in German class when someone has a birthday, singing the song, and then describing lifting the person up on a chair... He never talked about this before, and we just sat there amazed as he started singing in German. It was good. Alice |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Big Mick Date: 21 Dec 02 - 12:52 PM You know, this thread reminds me why I love this place so. It is because Alice is one of the very best people that come here. When I think back of the trials, tribulations, and feelings that have been shared here over the years, I think of Alice and smile. I cannot think of a single time that she has failed to share her remarkable knowledge of the music, her talents, her warmth, even the recounting of the struggles of a single parent bringing her young man, Ryan, up to be a quite remarkable person. Alice, your recounting of his singing to you in German does not surprise me in the least. In a strange cyber way, I feel as though I have watched him come along. Your passing of your values on to him will serve him well, my friend. I am grateful for another year enjoying your cyber company, and I wish us all many more. Your are a treasure, dear Alice. Everyone here knows it, and I hope you do too. Happy Birthday, and Happy Holidays to you and Ryan. All the very best, Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Noreen Date: 21 Dec 02 - 04:30 PM Hi, Alice, glad you had such a lovely evening to end your birthday. I can feel from your words how special it was, so thank you for sharing it with us. N |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 21 Dec 02 - 07:01 PM As others have said, Alice- you're one of the first to welcome me and somehow you made me feel that Mudcat Discussion Forum was a good place to be. Thanks- and isn't it amazing that we all feel friends with each other even though most haven't actualy met? I think its folks like Alice who make that so. Love and blessings, Jean P.S. O yes- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Alice!! From: Alice Date: 21 Dec 02 - 07:49 PM Thanks, Jean. I was thinking back a few years to when I found your web site and sent you an email telling you about the Mudcat forum. I think it took a year before I saw your arrival, but I am so glad you have joined in the thoughts, memories, and musical conversation that goes on here. Having long distance friendships form and grow through this web site has really been a gift. Alice |
