Your thread was floating to the bottom of the page so I thought I’d bump it by wishing you a happy 18th birthday in advance. Enjoy your day and I hope your hint for a lot of prezzies pays off big time. 🙂 ---

I’ll send you a card so you can register for selective service. It will be at your local post office. So are you a Yankee Doodle Dandy! ---

I think “Flood Day” has a nice ring to it. Let’s have a parade or something. ---

**Necromancer** : Thank you for that kind gesture. That was a very noble thing to do. People like you are so hard to find these days. **SHAKES** : That’s odd. Every year someone promises me the same thing, and every year it happens. I’ll know who to thank this year. **Zebra** : Damn you. But you’re too late. Someone already sent me one of those. **slortar** : I agree. **twickster** : Sounds good. You’ll have to come pick me up though. 🙂 ---
