Thank you **imthjckaz** , **BooBoo316** , **TwistofFate** (creator of the up in arms spidey), **Cajun Man** , **Simetra** , **TroubleAgain** , **Arden Ranger** , **MsRobyn** , **Pucette** , **LNO** , **screech-owl** (Nice hat !) **Grace** , **JimB** , **vix** , **Tygr** , **Anniz** , **wring** , **lurkernomore** , and **Vestal Blue** , for the warm wishes!

**CajunMan** and **DrMatrix** recommended the book A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole, and one of my daughters bought it for me for my birthday. And we are going to the Lincoln Depot to eat tonight. It has a model train that runs around a track built on a shelf around the walls.

Extra hats for everyone:

Did I ever tell you that I love your sig?

Give **Cajun Man** a hug for me, and he can give you one back. Someday I hope to meet you both in person.

Happy Birthday to one of my all time favorite ladies.

You know, I know you’re supposed to be a spider and all, but sometimes when I see all those legs I think you’re just dancing really fast. 😉

As it turned out, we are going out to eat tonight instead, so my birthday is extended one day.

And I started my new book, and had to force myself to put it down to feed the dog and clean a little. It is quite promising.

Thanks again to everyone!

Whew! Then I don’t feel like a _complete_ schmuck for having missed posting to this yesterday!

**Happy birthday, SpiderWoman!!!** You deserve the best, just for being you!

You could never be a schmuck.

There are so many of us Straight Dopers, it would be difficult not to miss stuff unless you were on the boards around the clock.

I miss being able to post more often (I have a full-time job! Yay!), and am glad that people still remember me.

Happiest of Birthday’s, **Spider Woman!!!**

Your goodness shines through every post you make, and I hope your year brings you all the happiness you deserve. And you deserve a LOT of wonderful things!

Damn, I’m late. It’s been so long since I posted here I had to do a frantic search for my password.

Happy Belated Birthday SpiderWoman. I hope that you have many more.

We just got back from walking around St. Cloud. We came upon some little boys by the Mississippi who were catching crayfish, and I got to hold one just before they let it go. We also saw a rubber-back turtle sunning itself on a rock.

All in all, it’s been a pretty good birth-day-and-a-half. When you get this old (47), I guess it takes longer to celebrate.

Alas alack,  
turn the calendar back!  
Methinks I have forgotten,  
the day your were begotten.

That said,

There was a young lady named Spider.  
Whose posts were sweeter than cider.  
All of us at the boards,  
were all drunk as lords,  
wearing party hats, what a provider!

If anyone asks you which birthday this is, merely reply; “The present one!”

That said, I shall now depart from my regularly scheduled programming and say (in a complete and utterly proper digression);  
🙂

😃

:o

😕

:rolleyes:

;j

😉

🆒

😛

:wally:

And every other appropriate smiley I can think of.

I am so glad to hear that you are completely occupied at work _and_ at home!
