Thank you all! I’m trying to forget about these things, but if Diane’s offering spankings, I’m willing to go along. ---

Not to totally hijack this thread, but today is also **Lyra** ’s birthday, so here’s to both **Lyra** and **Strainger** : (my apologies to both **Diane** and **Strainger** : starting a new thread eats up bandwidth and everything, you know…) **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STRAINGER!!!** **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYRA!!!** Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!) “Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!” Approximate English Translation of Above: “Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!” I hope you both have a great birthday, and celebrate it with family and friends. Have fun and take care! 🙂 F\_X ---

Thanks again! Also Happy (belated, I guess) Birthday to Lyra! And I think Scotti can overcome her aversion to violence, at least temporarily. ---
