Ril, I hope you’re not working. I’ve chosen June 12th as one of my personal holidays and I never work on that day. By coincidence, it also happens to be my birthday. ---

Well, if I was to _sing_ a nice Happy Birthday, it wouldn’t be so nice since my voice cracks glass. Happy B-day, gal! Hope it’s a great one, just like you! Tell Mr. Rilch he’s to take you out someplace nice, by order of the SDMB! ---

All the best to you Rilchiam! Make you sure you get treated to something special to day, and congratulations on the big three oh! (And let me mention, to make you other posters jealous, that the s.cal dopers got to meet her in person, and she’s a lovely lady.) ---
