I find fishing for complements and/or recognition to be against my nature, but I really never thought I’d make it this far, so here goes nothing. I came into this world on a friday, but not last friday. It was the 13th of January, sixty eight years ago. ---

Geez A.R. Cane, I guess I just couldn’t get both my eyes pointed in the same direction yesterday. I didn’t realize that you were a Friday 13th-er too! :smack: A _very_ special breed we are indeed. May your birthday be a recurring celebration for many years to come! Happy Birthday to you too, Muffin! 🙂 ---

Oh, what the hell, why not! I find singing in threads against my nature, but here goes anyway: Happy Birthday to you!~~ Happy Birthday to you!~~ Happy Birthday, **A.R. Cane**!~~ Happy Birthday to you!~~ Congrats on making it this far! I hope you continue to beat the odds. * * * And I don’t get all the jokes about wanting people off their lawn. I’m always yelling at people to get off my lawn and I’m not even old. Or at least no one respects me with the proper respect for the elderly. ---
