Yep, today our own **swampbear** is entering the last of his 40s. And having met him, may I say that he looks _every minute_ of it! 😛 I may be older, but he can’t carry the years as well. OK, no more cheap shots. Happy B-day, **swampy**! May you live to be as old as you look! OK, maybe one more cheap shot then Hope you have a great day floating in your pool with a refreshing beverage of choice and a band of cabana boys to tend to your every wish! 😃 ---

[geezer]Dagnabbit! You youngun’s git off’n muh property! All exceptin’ them two big burly sweaty ones! [/geezer] AWWWWWWWW… \ thanks **FairyChatMom** , AKA, The World’s Cheapest Date. [sup]TM[/sup] 😃 Heck yeah! I’m 49 and feel…err… am proud of every year of it. Most folks who know me figured somebody woulda shot me by now. Sigh… I wish I were floating round the pool, beverage and cabana boy in hand, but alas, here I am at work. Oh, well, at least I do get treated to dinner tonight. I’m going for pizza! I know, I know, pizza, how boring, but I haven’t had any pizza in forever, so I want greasy, gooey, cheesy pizza! And a pitcher of beer [sub]or two[/sub]. [sub]I am impressed somebody as **oooooolllllld** as **FCM** remembered it’s my b’day. Dang, that Geritol must really work![/sub] 😃 ---
