Happy birfday to you,  
Happy birfday to you,  
You look like a monkey,  
and you…

Oops, wrong poem. Let’s try this again.

Happy birthday to **moi** ,  
Happy birthday to **moi** ,  
I wish you the best,  
And a…a…uh…hmm…

Man, not much rymes with moi.

Oh well, you get the idea. Have a great birthday. Hugs and kisses and all that stuff.

I’d apologize for the bump but (a) as **tdc** pointed out, we were gone all weekend and just returned last night and (b) hey, a gal only turns 25 once. 🙂

Thanks y’all for the birthday well wishes. Need all the moral support I can get on this quarter-century thing. Luckily, **tdc** took me away and distracted me with a weekend of pitchers, Polish posters and presents. [sub]Wheee! Alliteration![/sub] Thank ya, sweetie. You’re my very best thing. _insert smoochy smiley here_

Frank, it’s easier to rhyme with my username if you pronounce it as I do: _mohy_ (rhymes with boy, etc.) 😃

Davebear, I must admit, I don’t know how orthopedic shoes are going to look with my early20something hipster wardrobe!

Hey, RTFirefly. Long time no see! _flinging some birthday girl hugs in your general direction_

Thanks to Khadaji and Robyn for their kind thoughts. I just saw the thread about **Doors** deployment, so I know you have a lot on your mind right now. I appreciate you taking the time to notice my little milestone.

I’m sorry I missed the thread about your birthday, hon. **tdc** was supposed to deliver birthday hugs for me on the day, though. I’m glad you had a good birthday!

And if y’all make it out to the Dinner in two weeks, I’ll give you a birthday hug of my own! 😉

I must have been unconscious or something.

::comes walk, strolls calmly through thread naked::

Hope that makes up for it:D

**HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY, MOI!!!**

Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)

“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”

Approximate English Translation of Above:

“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Hope the multi-cultural birthday greetings make up for my being late… and I’m glad to hear it was happy! 🙂

Hey, these belated greetings put Hallmark to shame! **Nekkid multicultural hugs!** Birthdays rock! 🆒

BTW, Flasterette, you should definitely work up a sound clip of the Chinese Happy Birthday. I doubt I’m doing it justice.
