I will not be here on my birthday, Friday, August 17. We will be in Viriginia Beach on a short vacation, not due to come back until the evening of August 19. So please don't think I am ignoring you all when you send me your good wishes that day.

In fact we will be leaving tomorrow morning.

You're a Leo? You don't act like one.

Now, that's mysterious.

Well deserved R&R...
let us know if the sun and surf
provide answers to modern insanity.

I'm going to leave it a mystery...

Do you notice that you have favorite emoticons? I have them.

No. What do you mean?

Peg, you should be a comedienne!

I'll never be Mr. Jim, but I try!

Has arneoker returned from his being away from his birthday back in August?

I've heard he's out to lunch.

So you guys are outing Arne?

Any of us would be happy to take Arne out to lunch. Occassionally we would be happy
just to take him out.

Beamer makes Pegatha laugh.

Mystery.

It's almost time for his next birthday

Why do you try to be Mr. Jim?

I mentioned on another thread that I had my bithday and fathers day this week, alone with Lilly, the cat because my wife is in Texas at a clinic, where she took Star and was having a flat tire this morning even though we bought new tires for the horse trailer before she left. I just talked to her and she is finally on the rode again.

She gives me the giggles too, Peg!

Hey!!! It's Arne's birthday again! Boy, time sure flies!!

Happy Birthday!

A GOOD FRIEND!
AND A GOOD MOD!

but is he going away again? Did he ever come back?

this is really funny this thread is still active.

Beamer rules!

And Happy Birthday, Arne, whenever it is!

Thanks everybody, again. Especially to Beamer.

I suppose, in line with Graham's question in Online Cafe, that this thread should have been archived. But instead we have recycled it!

I have been home this weekend, but we are going to Virginia Beach next weekend, just for the weekend, unlike the four day vacation we took last time. Since my wife worked this weekend next weekend will be a joint celebration of our two birthdays.

no, let's keep this thread going for a decade!!!
I think it's great!

PARTY HEARTY!!!!

I love it too!

Happy birthday, Arne.

Did I miss it!

That's terrible of me!

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARNE!

Don't worry heart...it's coming round again quite soon....so you can be the first of the 3rd years worth

(if you are saying this without reading this thread, have some fun and read the whole thread...

instant stress ridder.

Happy Birthday, Arne!! I'm about a year and two months+ late on this thread, but what the heck. It's kinda like the weatherman says here in Texas, "If ya don't like the weather, just wait a while, it'll change." Well, I might have missed a birthday or two, but the way time flies, I only need wait a while and it'll be here again. In fact, why don't ya just have a happy birthday all year long!!! (for some reason, when I try to use the emoticons here at work, I have a hard time posting my comment, but I have no problem at home. That's why this post is emoticonless!)

This thread cracks me up!

Happy belated to Arne's wife...........keeping the post going Beamer

Monday was the 15th month anniversary to arne's 2007 birthday. May this thread have many more months to go as the 2 year point approaches next
summer.

If my math is correct, just 2 weeks now, it will be the 1 1/2 YEAR anniversary of arne's birthday, which he wasn't around here to celebrate

Still hopin' you had a good one...

and it's never too early to think about the one in 2010 either.

May you have a great birthday in 2010, and also 2011 too!

So will you or won't you be here on your birthday 8/17/09? It's right around the corner.

Enquiring minds want to know.

Happy Valentine's day arne.

Happy Washington's day.

It's almost that time again

spring is here and soon summer will be here

the 90 degree weather today made me think of August and your birthday

it's coming around again real soon, just 3 1/2 months to go

any big plans coming up for it?

It's a major one this year, isn't it?

another month closer

Yes, it's almost time for Arne's birthday.

arne's gonna be here for his birthday!!!!

yee-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
