Oooh… made it here under the wire.
Scotti, you are amazing to me. You are the warmth of a gentle summer day.
Hope you’ve had the happiest of birthdays.

Dear Cheri,
I didn’t know this thread was here until late this afternoon. And it didn’t have an obvious title.
But now I have had time to write a bit to tell you a few things.
Cheri, you are a very special person in this World. Your honestly caring and sweet attitude is very rare nowadays,
and is needed by so many here. Especially me. You are always there for me, and always there to listen to me.
Whenever I am down, my Cheri can cheer me up, and listen to me, and make me feel like there might be hope again.
Even when your poor little Kobii was ill, you still were a source of caring and comfort to myself and numerous others on the Board. I would like to say that it took a special and outstanding effort on your part, but in reality it’s just in your nature.
You have been a wonderful and dear friend to me and many others here. I hope this birthday gives you one thing - confidence that you are loved and cared for by many, many good friends here.
Una
Scotti-love! So what are you, twenty one?
You are my dearest friend here and I hope that the remaining four-and-a-half hours of your birthday are great.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, what the hell.

Figured I’d get in a second birthday wish before I go to bed. Oh, and a hug.

Warm birthday wishes to one of the SDMB’s favorite posters.
All the best Scotti!
Happy Brithday, Scotti! Hope you can make it down to Dallas someday. We’ll throw you a party.

Cheri, I didn’t know! Happy B-day!

I’ve been around, just not posting as much these last few days.
I sure do hope to see you in Seattle soon! It’ll be a few months more yet, but as soon as we settle in, it’d be great to meet some PNW Dopers. I’d especially look forward to meeting you. 
Happy day to you, Scotticher. (and a hug for little Kobii too!)
bam!
bam!
bam!
::knocking head against the monitor for being absent for a day::
Scotti…
[sub]…when, oh when, is somebody gonna come up with a smilie with hearts radiating from it…?[/sub]
I hope you had a wonderful day and continue to have a wonderful year. Since I can’t say it as eloquently as others who have posted here, I’m just going to suggest that you take everything that’s been written in this thread, bundle it together, multiply it by a hundred, put it in a box, along with my heart, and wrap it up with a pretty bow.
You are sooo loved.
All my best.
Happy Birthday Cheri! You are a wonderful lady and a dear friend. I hope you had a great day. I would apologize for being late, but you know I only did it to avoid the birthday rush.

Happy Birthday, Scotti [sub]sorry I missed you here yesterday[/sub]
I made a present for you!!!
[by rino, nom de plume de soq totally made up to protect the absolutely, really, really, truly, innocent.
Really]
Well Scod has been nice to me
even when I was an
-gry
She gave me some advice in mail
But she didn’t rant or rail
I’m gonna take some
o that advice
but on some of it though,
I won’t think twice
and that’s because I am NOT NICE, DAMMIT
If you think your gift is comprised of this poem
Well to that, I say ‘Oh, no’M’
So she called me by my name,
well now, I can play that game.
So, you know what I’ll call you
I already gave you the clue
So, from now on in VB-enabled,
To me you will, henceforth, be the fabled:
SiCi:)
I think you know how to pronounce it
So I’ll be a gentleman and not announce it
The smiley on the end is for inflection.
Oh goodness me, I’ve got an infection.
From that sex I had last week
O I’m so pissed I can hardly speak
Alas, alas, it’s sprung a leak
Well, off to the walk-in clinic I go
to get some freakin antibiotics
These last few lines, I know, don’t rhyme
But, shit, I don’t get paid for this…

I seem to be a day late and a dollar short, but I hope you had a wonderful day.
And thank you for being like “the cool mom” that we all wished we had!

Thank you, my friends! I had a wonderful birthday, gave myself a nice lazy day for a present, read a book and visited with friends. I appreciate your good wishes, and I REALLY appreciate your friendship!**
And inor…Thanks! [sub]I think?**
Scotti
** She’s as: **
Lovely as a rose,
Warm as a sun-drenched day.
We’re thrilled it’s the SDMB she chose
to create a home base in which to stay!
Happy Birthday, Cherie, I’m sorry I missed the earlier celebration, but, hey! We love ya so much, you SHOULD have a birthday, that goes on…and on… oh, you GET the idea!
Love,
