AWWWWWWWWWW… Shucks! Thanks y’all Yeah **Bear\_Napples** 50 is **almost** half a century. 😛 Thanks **hillybilly queen and twicks**. No shiny red sports car for me. I pre-celebrated last Saturday at a pool party. I pre-celebrated so good that stock in Miller beer went up. So today is kinda anti-climatic by comparison. Which is ok. I get treated to dinner tonight which will be good. Of course, there is the symposium **twicks** mentioned on “Quantam Mechanics In The Works Of William Shakespeare” that I am attending this weekend at a clothing optional resort for boys who like boys, but I’m only going for the symposium. 😉 ---

Thanks **earthpuppy** and **puggie**. Apparently I had a good time at my 50th birthday party judging from the two large trash cans full of beer bottles I hauled out to the street yesterday. :eek: 😃 ---
