I am not the flashy sort, pplus also I have no idea how to make pretty colors, so I’ll just throw in a nice, polite, quietly admiring: Good on you, **VunderBob**! Now, about these AOL problems I’m having, and this pretty coaster stuck in my cup holder… 🙂 ---

Yay! Congrats **Vunderbob!** I really admire people who go back to school later in life and pursue their degrees. It is so difficult with “real” life concerns like kids, mortgages, jobs, etc. I wish I had that kind of energy and drive! aaaaand…Happy, happy Birthday **ems!** Enjoy your day off! I’m thinking about taking my birthday off next month, but eh, I’ll probably end up going in to work. There’s always _something_ that needs doing here. ---

**BOB IS THE MAN! UH, HUH! UH, HUH!** You, sir, are my new hero! Also, **HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU, EMS!!** This is much funner when you can say nice stuffs, innit? Okay, so I’m acting batty. You would be, too, after lookin’ at all those colored numbers all day. 😛 ---

Happy Birthday ems!! I was thinking of you this morning. I heard there was snow in Wyoming and wondered if you’re still having winter where you are. Was that part of your mini-crisis yesterday? I’m SOOO glad the great Northeast seems to be done with winter for now! ---

Happy Birthday **ems**! Congrats, **Bob**! In other news, it’s supposed to snow this weekend. In _May_. This is stupid. ---

I knew it! Smooches **Bob**! Now engineer a computer for us. Happy birthday but yesterday **ems**. So how do you MMPers who work in cubicle land abide sitting and being good all day? We’ve been testing this week and it’s been sitting and doing papery type stuff all morning and I may have to do something insanely reckless as an antidote to all of this good behavior. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Also, I want to point out that I had only 3 of the items, or I’d’ve sent them to more MMPers. Hmmm - so is this why you asked for my address? And here I was thinking the chocolate fairy would visit. 😛 However, I can say with all sincerity that I am mightily impressed with your accomplishment, **Bob** - going to college as an irresponsible kid is tough enough - doing it as an irresponsible adult is even tougher! Yay, you! _\_ ---
