September 19th Birthday Present joining the SDMB

:: stands up and pushes back lawn chair :: I joined this week as a present for myself and just wanted to say “hello”… “Hello”

I also posted my first post here and my first thread here and wanted to see if I could insert the references correctly.

I’ve lurked around for a while but finally wanted to join in all the silly and enlightening conversations. I really respect all the conversations that arise where people discuss their opinions, support their arguments with facts and cites. I often feel intimidated when the various sides post well-reasoned, erudite discussions, but I intend to live up to my “username” and join in with observations of my own. :slight_smile:

I’m a Trekkie[sup]tm[/sup] who likes hard science fiction, string theory, Sunday comics, my pond in the back yard, chocolate, and Movies Of All Kinds. My wife’s birthday was yesterday - no she’s not one day old, but how do you say that correctly? Any other people with birthdays today?

Welcome, Corner Case. And Happy Birthday to you and your wife.

Happy Birthday and welcome! It’s my husband’s birthday too! How nice for you to be born on national talk like a pirate day! I mean, aarrr!

Happy Birthday! It’s just good days to be born, donchano!

As my alter-ego, Pirate Dirty Sam Kidd would say, “Hoppy bird. Hey, two ewes!”, but then “simple minds have simple pleasures.”

Your wife celebrated her Nth birthday yesterday:)
