Yes, my husband is one year older today. I’m especially happy, because this is the first time I get to spend his birthday with him. In the past, it’s only been through IM or on the phone, so today is very special to me. I love you, Jasper. I hope this is the first of many wonderful birthdays that we can spend together. ---

> [@detop](#): > > A friend of mine had a Doberman named Jasper 😛 (more appropriate for a Mod, I think). It took me a minute to get this, but what’s wrong with a big, friendly, always smiling, dumb-as-a-rock dog as a symbol? 😛 I’m teasing, **Coldfire** , and all the other mods! But I loved my dog so much, you see. ---

> [@Heloise](#): > > I love you, Jasper. I hope this is the first of many wonderful birthdays that we can spend together. So, what are you going to give him for his birthday? 😉 **Coldie** , I keep tossing out disparaging remarks about the Dutch in various footie threads, hoping you’ll take the bait, but so far no result. I guess you’re still in honeymoon mode. ---

Thanks guys, and especially my lovely wife. 🙂 Yeah, I’ve not been posting much as of late. It’s quite busy here, both at work and at home, what with the new wife and all, y’see. Didn’t have time to respond on the day itself even, as we had visitors last night. But the sentiments are appreciated. 32, man, that’s TWICE 16. So when will I start _feeling_ like an adult? 🙂 ---

May you always be so handsome & debonaire. May your pockets never be empty and may you enjoy a healthy life and a rompin’ sex life. You’re only 32? He’s just a baby. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-birthday-coldfire/290361.md?page=2)
