Wow!! :o Thank you all!!! **Mangetout** : To celebrate a birthday once a year is not inconsistent, despite the arguments you advance. From the earliest days of humanity, people have noted the anniversary of their natal day. To insist on the every-day-or-nothing dichotomy is to employ the Fallacy of the Excluded Middle! 😉 And thanks for the chuckle. ---

Like everybody else, I am shocked – shocked, I say! – at your being 25. That blows my mental picture of you all to hell! Hey, I’m only 27…hmm…😃 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ---
