Approximate English Translation of Above:
“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”
I don’t know you two really well, but I’d like to wish you guys a great birthday. (besides, I kind of told TroubleAgain I’d do it) Have an awesome time surrounded by the ones you love.
It has been a pretty nice day. I was kinda hopin’ for some strapping young lads with wads of cash lined up outside my door but, sadly, that was not to be. Ah, well. I did receive lots of happy birthday wishes and my cat is being nice today.

Happy Birthday to both of you! I hope you get your heart’s desires and more…today and always!
[sub]well, actually I hope TroubleAgain does, since I know her well and love her bunches and I KNOW that whatever her heart’s desire is it is bound to benefit both her AND mankind. ** xcheopis**, I assume your heart’s desire will also, but since I don’t know you I am registering this standard disclaimer. Can’t be too careful these days.[/sub]
Possibly, since my heart’s desire is getting my graduate degree in Public Health. Of course, that could just be a front for my development of some horrifying pathogen that will take out 96% of humanity in 48 hours but how likely is that?
Thanks for the thread, Flamsterette. It’s sweet of you to do this for everyone.
dreamer, thanks bunches.
Happy birthday to you, too,** xcheopis**. No strapping young lads with wads of cash lined up outside my door, either, but I guess I can’t complain too much. It was a decent birthday.
Scotticher, sweetie, I love you, too. Thanks for the wishes.
Hmmmm… in retrospect I may have jumped the gun due to time zone considerations; where I am, the first post was sent just before 1am on the 28th. Are we still celebrating June 27th b-days? If so, apologies, and I’ll go back to my cake…
I’ll get to your birthday, jr8… really. As to time zone considerations, I do my best.
dreamer, if I can be known as the birthday queen in real life, why not on the SDMB, too? Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t miss birthdays here and there. When I do, I’m always very apologetic.
