Wow, everybody! Thanks!!!!

You people really know how to give good birthday!

I have my friend Ela visiting me (the same one who was visiting me for New Year's Eve last year), and we're having a lot of fun with HTML and accordions.

What can I say? You people are the best in the whole world!

Well, this looked promising at first and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to step in and assuage the feelings that Joe Offer has for these threads when he complains they all say the same thing. Here we are in 2002 and after almost 8 months of trying desperately to convince all of you that we have to keep these things somehow different so JoeBro doesn't have a conniption, I see that my efforts are still not paying the rewards I had hoped. A few of you get the idea, but once again, this thread deteriorated into a long line of simple "Happy Birthday" type stuff....Y'all got to do a lot better so I don't have to step in like now...................

Carol, I may love ya' girl, but on this your birthday, these other sods are forcing me to tell you to

Go Suck the Fur Off a Ferret.

I realize your past love affairs with ferrets have not worked out well, but here's a way to get even! It's never too late and what a birthday treat!!!!!

Put the weizel back in the cage... That's good. Now shut the door to the weizel cage. Ahh, very good birthday gal. Very good. See. Life is good and it's good to be seventeen, ain't it...

Well, Doug, I don't know where it will end but it started with a love affair with the Mudcat so ferrets, possums, and lamas must be the next logical step. What animal is yours?

Yahhhh, Spaw's just jealous. After all, HE's not going to Hawaii (and, if he tried, the airport security folks would detain him and attempt to detonate his clicking heart!).

Anyway, Carol, here's my slightly belated wish for your happiness on your birthday and always. Hope your big day was a pleasant one!

P.S. – Oh darn! If I'd known you were off to Hawaii, I'd have given you a jar of Pennsylvania Dutch Chow Chow to take to Mark Cohen!

Sharon, I did live in Dauphin County for 4 years, but I confess I never developed a taste for Pennsylvania Dutch food. Well, except maybe Utz' Pretzels. Now, an Italian hoagie from South Philly, or a corned beef special from Bain's Deli on Broad St., now that would be another story...that is, if I still ate meat! (Do you know, I can now buy Tastykakes and Breyer's ice cream here in Hilo!)

It's been a great couple of days. Actually starting with New Year's Eve. Had a lovely phone chat with a 'catter across the pond New Year's Eve. Then, a lovely phone chat with another 'catter across another body of water on New Year's Day night. Then Ela came, and we had a lot of fun. Then a lovely phone chat with a Mudcatter here in the continental U.S. this afternoon.

And all of the wonderful birthday and safe traveling messages on this thread. I just can't imagine a nicer way to spend a birthday. (Not to mention that lovely argument DougR started just for me on that other thread.)

Now... Spaw. I think it's time I returned some of the kindness you've shown me, especially the guidance and fatherly sort of help you've been giving me with my love life over the last year or so. As a (very) small token of my gratitude, I want to share with you my favorite recipe for steamed artichokes...

Steam three artichokes until the leaves can be easily pulled away from the stem.

Remove all of the leaves. Discard.

Remove the heart and stem of the artichoke and discard them.

Drizzle a little olive oil on the part that remains (the choke). Salt to taste. Eat, and enjoy.

Of course, Carol--guess my memory's slipping again. It happens when you get old, you know...well, no, you wouldn't. But I do remember you said you weren't particularly fond of jasmine, so I got plumeria massage oil instead. Hope that's OK. They also have almond, but that's sort of, well, 80's, don't you think?

Aloha,
Mark

That's the style, Mark!! None of those rancid old 80's oils for our accordions!!

...What? The oil is for Carol??!!! Why? Does she creak?? Out in the rain too long, or what? Oh...hmmm...I see...vivid image, there, thanks...wow!

Geeze, young folks these days get into the strangest things!!
