I thought this may be a nice way to introduce my wife to SDMB.

Yesterday was her birthday, and there is no one I would rather wish a Happy Birthday to than the woman who has given me so much. Lanochka, Happy Birthday! Even thogh you don’t look your age, you are wise beyond your years. I know you have heard this from me already, but I wish you Happiness beyond your dreams.

Since you are new to this message board, I’ll just let you know that most people here are really easy to talk to, open minded, and smart. Feel free to post anything you want, or post nothing.

Please welcome Lanochka to the SDMB. I’m not sure she’ll post much (very busy and into her work), but I hope you all will make her feel at home.

Have Fun.

1. Since when has work stopped anyone from posting?

2. Lanonchka, we shall now dub your husband Boo Boo.

3. “Have fun” . . . saying this on the SDMB is not a sign of good things to come:D

Happy, Happy Birthday, Lanochka! And, welcome to this looney bin! 😛

You’re one lucky lady to have tradesilicon for a hubby! He’s a sweetie, and I always enjoy reading his posts.

Hope to see you around a lot too. 🙂

you look like a monkeeeeeeeey…

That song is reserved for only the nicest people. Imagine what the people I DON’T like get! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂  
Welcome!!

Thanks for the nice welcome you all extended to lanochka. She does not say much at first (kind of shy on line), but I know she’ll warm up to it…

I refuse to be known as Boo Boo. Yogi is OK if you need a bear reference.

Zette, I’m staying on your good side.

Purlebear, now I’m turning purle…

😃 Only the truth! 'Sides, purple’s a nice color for a bear. 😉

Are you a likening yourself to a sweet cartoon teddybear Yogi, or the legendary Yogi Berra? 😛
