It is the end of a very long day. I came in tired and grumpy from having so much work to do on my birthday. These suckers that I do battle with every day seem to have no regard for the fact it is my bday and that it is the old double nickels. I did take time out for dinner with my wife and youngest daughter. Ciara, my daughter, laughed because I am now eligible for an additional 10% off. She teased me mercilessly. But the pup shouldn't mess around with someone who has been around the block a few times. Little does the almost 14 year old know, but I have been asked to chaperone one of her school dances. MMMMMWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAA HA!!! Vengeance is mine, sayeth the old man. I think I will wear a kilt and a ball cap backwards. Teach that kid about screwing around with her old man. She will be mortified.

You have all brought a very large Big Mick smile to my face. I want to thank my darling Kath for starting this, as well as for the hilarious card I received from her today. KarenK too. It is so wonderful to feel the caring that you have all shared. Thanks so very much. I have been so tied into this fight to save this local and improve these contracts, fighting off Walmarts attempts to continue to rip off the health care system, the pension crisis ...... quite frankly I have been worried because many of you are so close and dear to me, and I haven't been able to keep in contact.

Frogprince, we are going to have to plan a get together at some point and celebrate our joint birthdays.

Love to all,

Mick

Well, it's still your birthday here, Mick, and I'll spend the last hour of it wishing all good things to come your way in this year to come.

Actually I was thinking of you today before I even opened this thread and learned it was your birthday. Spent some lovely time listening to your CD this afternoon.

When that job gets to be too much remember the good that you are doing for so many who are without voice and remember what I told you at the Getaway (The first one)

Don't worry about not staying in touch, Mick. We know you're about. Take good care, a Happy Birthday, my friend!

Sorry Bro.....You had a birthday on the same day Karen had surgery so I was otherwise detained and unable to group several sentences into paragraphs to properly insult you for your birthday.   Luckily I think your daughter has done this quite well by noting your advancing years in a truly derogatory fashion which you richly deserve.

Myself?.....Well, I'm getting younger all the time and I frankly haven't felt this good in over ten years! Breathing is a wonderful thing when it works for you unencumbered by CO, CO2, and other detrimental toxins. In my quarterly report to LFPS I noted that I am now not doing over 7 times as much as before so you'll be glad to know profits are up here at the Bremen Branch.
