Yeah, I’ve thought about recent developments here at this forum. I’m not sure that I’ll be sticking around… I may, but that remains to be seen. (no credit card, no PayPal… whatcha gonna do?)

This place has brought me a few good friends, and many acquaintances. I’ll do some shout-outs now… maybe more later. If I forget anyone that I truly meant to include, I’m sorry… my brain isn’t doing me any favors right now.

**Spoz** : You’ve been golden in your humor… you always cheer me up, even if it is only slightly. 🙂 I don’t know if I’ll get my browser problems fixed for your forums, but we shall see. 😃

**Snooooopy** : Thanks for being a pal… you crack me up!

**Ice Wolf**. **LeeJam** , and **TLD** : Ah, what can I say about my support networks across the ocean? Thanks for being TRUE friends and being there for me… I won’t forget it. 🙂

**JimSox5** : Thanks for those talks… they mean a lot to me. Maybe I’ll talk to you another time soon. 😃

**Steve Wright** : Thanks for the past talks we had… they were great, and I did learn a lot.

**jackelope** : Thanks for being a friend, and for telling me so much about where you are… I may need that knowledge someday, if I’m not jumping the gun. 😉 (although I may well be)

**rjk** , **Larry Mudd** , and the rest of the Vancouver crew: Thanks for being the people you are… I’ll remember you all fondly. Hope to see the resident Vancouverites around at some point in the future!

**NoClueBoy** : You never gave me a spanking… for some reason, this makes me sad. ☹

**Kal** and **Washte** : Don’t know if you’ll be reading this, what with the new baby and all… but thanks for being friends. Hope your life goes well.

**EddyTeddyFreddy** : Thanks for supporting me… the outcome of that incident wasn’t what you were hoping for, but it must have had a reason.

To the other people who I’ve interacted with in a positive way: thanks for everything… cheers! 🙂  
Blah… I can’t think of anyone else. That’ll have to do for now.  
Now… does anybody else want to do the birthday threads? I’ll email you what you need to get started if you do… no worries there! (I’ll even bump up the March thread while I’m at it with my list of names, heh heh) And yes… I’ll try to do April’s… depending on how I feel. 😃

If you’re interested, simply drop a line in this thread (and put SDMB in the subject line so I don’t think it’s spam)… you’d have to be certainly staying on, though! (and not be a wishy-washy person like me)

I’ll miss you if you go, **Flami**. ☹

I could do the birthday threads. I considered offering to do one recently when you said you might not be able to. I’m usually up past midnight (Pacific time zone) and could start each thread first thing each day.

And if you are going to be able to do the April thread, then leaving me with the May thread will be perfect. 😉

**Berkut** : Yeah, I just bet **airdisc** would be interested… and that’s all I’ll say here about that.

**cityboy916** : I haven’t been around that much lately, but it warms the heart to see what you have to say. 🙂 I’m in the Pacific time zone as well, so if you’re staying (I’m not sure if I am or not)… that would be cool. I’ll just make a note of your email address and email you soon with everything you need to know. 😉 (mind you, it would be a LONG email with almost three years’ worth of birthdays… but if it doesn’t matter to you, then that’s good)

Dunno if this is relevant, but if you put your birthday into your profile, it shows up on the calendar (link above just to the left of “new posts”) and, FWIW, the board sends you an automatic birthday e-mail.

So happy birthday to Lobelia Overhill, IcicleFuzz, and J.S. Bach!

Hmm… sorta relevant… but in that vague sort of way… thanks, though.

Yer gonna email TLD is whatcha gonna do. You’re going to do it pronto. And you’re not going to go anywhere.

Right. I’m glad we’ve got that sorted out.

Don’t worry, **Kal** … I certainly will.

**TLD** : Well… all right then, if you say so.
