Hey folks,
       I'm getting old.....  just kidding... I'm still a spring chicken!
     turned 35 today...  which is fitting since it's friday the 13th  (at least, that's what my brother says!!!!) !!!!! I swear I was born on a Friday 13th!  Mom doesn't always think that's as funny as the rest of the family does!  (I'm not superstitious.... just thinks it's funny!! )You have all made my life a better life, made me happy,  listened to my ramblings and problems with great kindness and advice, made me laugh, had incredible patience with me and the darn computer!
            I suppose I am a bit wiser due to some of you folks.... tool knowledge, comic relief, and, often some very important and much appreciated advise about life.
Cheers to you all and thankyou
bird.

Happy B day Bird! I guess that makes you collectable. You're not old enough to be vintage or antique.

Yes, the fact that there are more years is both scary and encouraging....  (I know that you weren't trying to make some  psychological statement with that)  But, more years is a bit scary, and having made it through the last meager 35 years seems somewhat huge! So, I suppose I'll be around for awhile. ...  can't say that for sure...  none of us can!
But, cheers for the days and minutes that we are here.
cheers,
bird.

Papaw,
    I guess friday the 13th might be a good day, indeed.  That's quite an accomplishment to be married that long.  Although, you're REALLY OLD (you knew I was going to say that!)
      In all seriousness, you must have an incredible relationship....  not many persons can say that. 
      You've been quite a good friend to me.  I thank you for this sight  (site?).  I thank you for  (for some reason) helping me along via the computer and tools.  You're website has made quite a difference in a lot of persons lives (not just the pathetic, computer retarded, mess of a person that I am!!!!!!).  You're someone I admire.  Thanks for the birthday wishes
cheers,
bird.

Congratulations and Happies are due all around then.   But Papaw's not REALLY OLD yet, Bird; you just haven't been around long enough to realize that you are REALLY YOUNG!

Jenny~Bird you are of significant value regardless of what adjective is used to describe your age.

Happy Birthday even though the wishes are a couple days late.

Oh, by the way, there was no Friday the 13th in July the year you were born.
All my taste is in my tools.

Collectables are worth more than a lot of the antiques.
