I’d slap you for that but she really is a alot better than I am at it. But then again, old balding guys have a hard time figuring out the difference. I might just have to give you some mushroom prints with my bullwhip of love. You are close to my age dude. Trust me. Take what you can get amd give what is accepted, or at least tolerated!! ---

**Turbo Dog** , I’ll take what I can get. And then, and then, and then she looked at me with those big brown eyes and said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” Okay, maybe only half of that was true… He’s doing great, **Flami**. He was a Good Boy at his party, which is no mean feat, considering how many people were there and the level of commotion. He’s walking a lot, although he generally needs to pull on something or someone to get up. He’s not really talking, although he does say “Hi!” a lot. All in all, a cheery baby. We’re all taking him to the beach next month. ---

**dantheman** , you are just _so_ cute: “Great googly-moogly! I get my own thread?” > [@](#): > > May this year bring you all the things you long for…and some unexpected but pleasant surprises as well, like **bittersweet’s** unyielding admiration! 😉 (Sorry, I’m in full dork mode today.) ---

I must admit I’m a mite embarrassed to have this thread. I know there are probably some people who wonder why it’s now on its second page, and I can’t rightly explain it other than to say that I have some very wonderful friends here. I don’t believe I’m worthy of the accolades, but I appreciate them and am grateful for them. Thanks, **Cranky** and **Gazelle**! ---

Not on its second page yet… though if someone replies after I do, it will be! 😃 Did I manage to embarrass you with this one? Hey, you are worthy of everything being said of you in here! 🙂 F\_X ---

It’s on its second page on my screen and has been for a little while, actually. Your post up there is the 10th on this page on my screen. Either way - thanks everyone, especially **Flami**! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-birthday-dantheman/188070.md?page=2)
