Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me. Me! Me! Me! I don’t even feel like a grown-up, how can I be 44? What was it they called them in that Star Trek show? Grumps? You know the one, the mining planet where as soon as you hit puberty you croaked? Well, no matter, The Captain saved them all. Hey! That’s one of the few episodes that the guy didn’t get lucky in. Humf ---

Can I weasel into this thread to wish happy birthday to me? Today’s my birthday too - and I’m exactly .5 the OP’s age! I don’t feel like a grown-up either. To add some variety, I will sing the German version of Happy Birthday to myself: Viel Gluck und viel Segen auf all meinen Wegen Gesundheit und Freiheit das wunsche ich mir! (Is the last line grammatically correct?) Cheers, Daphne ---

Hey! Cool birthday art. Hand-made birthday cards are down right heart warming, and I need a little heart warming right about now. I’d say I was having a mid-life crisis, but shouldn’t a “crisis” be an intense short term sorta thing? I mean come on, this WTF? feeling has been dragging on for years now! ---

Happy birthday! I’ve been known to go to the movies with my wife and kids and tell the ticket seller, “Two grups, two onlies.” You would not _believe_ the slack-jawed cluelessness of minimum-wage high school students. No respect for the classics. ---

**Ethilrist** I don’t remember the “onlies” part! How is it prounced? On-Lyes? Own-Lees? See what time has done to me? **Elenia28** I see **iampunha** as a young-buck with flowing curly locks, sparkling blue eyes, lightly tanned skin glistening with sweat, and a great set of healthy knees. ::sigh:: the knees get me every time. ---
