First, a big thank you to rob, for starting this thread. (Check’s in the mail!
)
Hiya there, Cajun Man! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Hope you’re doing well. 
Ditto to you, Lux. “Birffday” is how I secretly pronounce it, too… thank you for the laugh you gave me.
Scotti, babe, thank you for the head-swelling compliments.
On a more serious note, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve appreciated all the kindness and good thoughts and encouraging words you’ve ever sent my way. Not only did you make me feel welcome here when I was a newbie, but your last e-mail helped me through what was (and still is) a tough time. Thank you so very much.

poohpah, hon, I give back what I get.
How’s everything with you, hon? Hope things are working out for you. Drop me an e-mail sometime, okay? (Byz doesn’t know what she started with that post of hers, does she?)

Thanks for bringing the hats, Spider Woman!

Thank you.
So, is the official story gonna be that I’m following you around, or that you’re following me? 
Thanks for making my birthday a day to remember, guys.
