HAPPY (late)BIRTHDAY CLAMGIRL

oy......well............HEY, IS IT MY FAULT YOU DIDN"T LIST YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH BBC?????..........

After signing an e-mail "A New 45 Year Old" you would think that a reasonably intelligent person would figure out that the sender had just had a birthday. If the recipient (me) is incrdibly shallow, generally obnowios, and exploring new depths of stupidity where no man has gone before, you simply go "DUH." Anyway..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERI....ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PEOPLE!!!

Geeziz Jeri, I am sorry and STUPID and thanks so much for reminding me that I am. I hope you have many more...You are simply the best.

Happy, happy belated birthday, Jeri! And welcome to the "Ladies of a Certain Age" club, as we refer to it down South!

Hi Jeri, Happy Birthday, would've bought the house a round the other night when I saw you, had I known (whew, glad I didn't know at the time the place was packed). Barry

Spaw, I agree with your post except the part about my birthday not being on bbc's web page. Bad excuse! It's been there, three days after Rick's and right next to Mbo's since sometime around June. So there. I was also not trying to remind you of your stupidity, only enjoying the chance to get a good dig in. (But I love you anyway.)

People used to play this game at work - don't talk about your birthday, and everyone pretends they don't know, right up until they find a devious way to sneak the cake in. It was funny right up until the year they really forgot.

I think we need to have a healing circle for Spaw. I'm holding you in the light, dear friend. Stop struggling - it's scary, but I'm not letting go.

All who have replied, thank you. The thread wasn't really necessary - I just enjoyed doing the guilt thing on Catspaw.

Jeri, I didn't recognize the "Clamgirl" reference, so I started another thread. Your greeting is there.

I shouldn't post here, since I'll just get in (more) trouble for the clam reference. I am so sorry I missed your birthday, Jeri! I even had it on my calendar. My only excuse is that this past weekend was so non-stop that I didn't spend any time at my computer (Practically a first!).

Best always,

Barbara

Jeri, if only you could taste the cake I baked you.
Chocolate Chip Cake
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (omit on low sodium diet)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of expeller pressed oil
1 1/4 cup skim milk
4 egg whites plus one egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup carob chips (healthier)

I adjusted the ingredients to make it healthier.
How many candles should I put on it??????

I'll save you a piece in the freezer

Yum! I hope you don't mind if I bring a couple pints of Ben and Jerry's Wavy Gravy ice cream to go with the cake - one for each of us. (healthy, shmealthy.)

Is this a bundt cake? You could just set one of those pillar candles in the middle, unless you have a fire extinguisher handy.

No problem Jeri, the fire marshal says I can light your birthday cake as long as I get a permit.

Glad to see you starting yet another year, Jeri. If you put even a small portion of the energies I witnessed emanating from you at the Getaway into the coming year, I am certain it will be a wondrous one!

Thanks, all. Allan C., I didn't know anybody had noticed I was "emanating." Don...
There's a song in the Digital Tradition, "My Get Up And Go Has Got Up And Went," words trad, melody by Pete Seeger. I found a typed paper my mother had saved. It's a reprint from the Schenectady [NY] Union Star Action Line column. There's no date on it. There are a few verses that didn't make it into the song:

There's nothing the matter with me, I'm as healthy as I can be; I have arthritis in both my knees
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze;
My pulse is weak and my blod is thin,
But I'm in danged good shape for the shape I'm in
Arch supports I have for my feet
(Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street).
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I feel I'm all right.
My memory is failing, my head's in a spin -
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
The Moral is this - as this tale I unfold -
That for me and for you who are growing old
It's better to say "I'm fine" with a grin
Than to let folks know the shape we are in.
How do I know my youth is all spent...

(But I still have all my teeth, except for the wisdom ones.)

Thanks for the reverse present Slick! I've always liked that song since I heard Seeger do it and these are GREAT verses!!!!!!...and you won't have your teeth for long if you try the Buttermilk Pie.

Well, I'm glad somebody baked a cake -- all Tom & I did was feed her Saturday (B.D. night) night. (Birthdays: a great excuse for pesto between the teeth.)
