Miss **FairyChatMoose** is a social butterfly (figuratively, as she really is a moose) who travels around the world to attend DopeFests or to hang out with Dopers who have less of a life than I do! 😃 If you want her to visit, send me your address and I’ll dispatch her with all due haste. All I ask is that you send me copies of any photos you take of her or with her. That way, I can live vicariously through her adventures (see the above comment about not having much of a life…)

Aw, thanks, **DWD** , but I know you only said that because I sent you chocolate. 😃

Yes! Another Doper who remembers the important stuff: That Was the Week That Was, Martha Mitchell and WIN buttons.

Happy Birthday, **FCM**!

Happy birthday **FCM** and many happy returns. Don’t worry about the birthday cake–I’m not low-carbing and I’d be happy to be your substitute birthday cake eater. In fact, I just found a place that had excellent looking desserts (but I couldn’t have one 'cuz I was with real skinny people) so, in honor of your birthday, I’ll bite the bullet and go back and have one of those desserts. I’ll have the Akins-friendly ham and cheese quiche first (in order to be more like you–if I’m going to take your place, albeit just for cake, I might as well do the whole routine).

Not that anyone could ever take your place in any meaningful way, you’re way, way too special for that, but it’s an honor to pig out for you.

**koeeoaddi** - don’t forget black-and-white TVs with no remote!

**Kallessa** - you’e too kind. But I’m not an Atkins person - I’m a South Beacher. We’re not nearly as strict, but cake isn’t a good idea… So throw yourself on that grenade for me!

**Khadaji** - wow - I just got a “K” trifecta!

Thanks all!!

Aw geez!

I was out back spackling my walls and missed the singing part of the Birthday party. (which is just as well for you.)

Did I miss the hugging part too?

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{FCM}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}**

PSSST. I brought chocolate. I know you’re not supposed to have any, so don’t look at it and think of broccoli while you eat it, mkay?

Happy Birthday!

I’m gonna ask **Rue** here:

Is it okay if I call her Snickers? Or does that breach some Special Friend™ etiquette? I just want to make sure I’m following procedure properly.

**Missy** , don’t bother about growing up - I didn’t see any future in it.

**Bumb** , darlin, just knowing you’re out there fills my life with such sweetness!

**scout** , it might confuse the Doper whose name is Snickers. I promise it’s not a sock. **Rue** came up with the nickname years ago after an email I sent him… and that’s all I’m sayin’ about that.  
wooooooo - mysterious…

Happy 50th, **FCM**!!!

I’m just six weeks behind you, but I don’t seem to be gaining. Can’t understand it! 😉

[hijack]  
**dbygawdcapn** , are you a Southern Marylander? I’m in northern Calvert County! So, what’s this place you told FCM about?

**RTF** , he was my Secret Santa and he sent me a print of a general store down in Scotland. One of these days when **FCD** and I have some time to kill, I’m going to try to find the place.

Happy Birthday! I waved in your direction as I passed I-10 last night. I’d have swung by but I wasn’t certain that you were home, this being your big birthday weekend and all. Mrs. ShibbOleth’s 40th is this Monday, so you’re not alone on the milestone birthday thing. Have an extra dessert with dinner tonight. You deserve it (and it’s on Rue).

Find it? You will be hard pressed to miss it. There are two whole businesses in the entire hamlet of Scotland, Md, and strangely enough they both sell tackle, beer, and ice. ( the only commodities apparently needed in Scotland)

**RTF** , I am living in “Yes Indee **d by gawd capn’** St. Mary’s County”
