Many happy returns and all that. I remember your birthday every time I see your user name, ever since one of those “how I got my user name” threads. So how many is it? 29 again? ---

Let me jump on the bandwagon and wish you a Happy Birthday too! Now that you’re here in NJ I hope we’ll probably meet at a dopefest one of these days. ---

Wow you guys are great, thank you! And for the record it’s twenty SIX not 29… Think you can off me a few years earlier, do ya? I spent most of today being late for work (trains suspended. going into Manhattan this morning) and/or doing work related things, but I’m now heading home to fresh-baked blueberry muffins. (A birthday tradition since grade school. God I love my husband.) This weekend will be the true celebration… My beloved aunt and I will be spending the day at Columbia to tour campus and hopefully fall in love with it. Not only that but Watchmen is coming out just for me! ---

Since you’re younger than me, you get the Aragón version, only I’ve always liked inserting the name in: **Feliz, feliz en tu día nuestra Olives, que Dios te bendiga, que reine la paz en tu día y que cumplas muchos más** [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-birthday-dear-olives/488296.md?page=2)
