Happy Birthday, Anthracite,

from someone who has read, enjoyed, admired, and learned from many of your posts.

And Fierra, that is a lovely and loving tribute. May the both of you keep each other as happy as you are now.

:: warbles badly off key ::

_We wish you a happy birthday  
We wish you a happy birthday  
We wish you a happy birthday…_  
umm… :: thinks frantically for appropriat lyrics for the next verse ::

_And a whole lot of cheer?_ (No. I mean, we do of course, but that just doesn’t sound/scan right.)

_And a mug full of beer?_ (No, again…we wish that and all, but you deserve more than just a mug o’ beer. )

_And I’m really sincere?_ (I am, but that’s worse than the “whole lot of cheer” bit)

_and brand new brassiere?_ (Waaaaay too personal and, like the beer, too limited)

_And some poems by Lear?_ (Does she even _like_ Lear?)

_And a private fakir?_ (This one’s just gibberish)

_And some elk and a deer?_ (And this one’s worse)

_And some brand new footgear?_ (Perpetuating the “women like shoes” thing? Classy, Fen. Real classy)

_Space: the Final Frontier?_ (Wha?)

_To us you’ve endeared?_ (Backwards it is. Mangled syntax it is, too.)

_No days that are drear?_ (I suppose this is as good as I can do. Oh well…)

I give up… I’m going from bad to verse…

All kidding aside

Happy birthday **Anth** , you’re One of the Good Ones and I wish you tons of joy and laughter!

Wow!

That was a beautiful post, my love. It made me teary with love for you.

My life too is completely changed since I met you, and fell in love with you. I cannot really express right now how happy I feel to see this.

What makes it even more difficult to express how I feel is the outpouring of happiness, support, and good wishes from all my friends here. Your kind words made me teary yet again, and made my heart feel full. I am continuously reading this thread, and will thank every one of you later tomorrow. I am composing a single, large post of thanks so I don’t push my post count up so much. 😃

Love to you, my dear little **Fierra**. And love to all the rest of my friends too!

Fierra, your post to Anthracite made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.

Hugs to you both, and HB, Anthracite. I don’t know you really, but appreciate your knowlege when it comes to engineering stuff! 🙂
