Happy Birthday to you as well Tally-Ho! I turn 30 tommorrow. on a side note every time I read you name I think to myself “I got a dime!” Is an inside joke, I went to high school with a girl named Tally who was once caught selling BJ’s. After that most people seeing her in the hall would call out I got a Nickle!!! well, I laugh about it anyway. Osip ---

Happy birthday, all you December babies! I hope you don’t still get the “this is a birthday present _and_ a Christmas present together,” as if you don’t know that means they are just too cheap to get you two gifts. 🙂 ---

**DAVEW0071** , **Tally-Ho** , a happy birthday to both of you. And I’m only turning 19 today (well, yesterday, but it still feels like today is the 28th), so you’re both old. But no hard feelings. 😃 ---

Happy birthday, **Dave-Guy** , hired killer extraordinaire and quoter of Julius H. Marx! 😉 **Forty-two** , huh? The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything! I’ve been there and gone on, and the territory looks pretty good up here. So don’t let these whippersnappers make you feel like your best days are past - it doesn’t have to be so. 🙂 And happy birthday (early, late, on time, or whatever) to **DRY** , **Osip** , **Tally-Ho** , **StephenG** and **DITWD**! ---

Dave, my man, you are very lucky. Your birthday (12/29), is very close to the birthday of Davy Jones (and Michael Nesmith). That would be 12/30. Cool, no? Happy Birthday!! ---
