wow!!!! I mean....WOW!!!
I am truly greatful and more than a little humbled at all the good wishes for me on my birthday. It more than makes up for the lousy prime rib I had at dinner last night!
Hax....I'm especially touched by the drawing--even though I don't really crave popcicles and chocolate, I see my duck is just where I want him to be

. I don't know about the three toed thingy though...or did you forget everyone else besides you has five toes on each foot?

I know, easy enough thing to forget when you're surrounded by hobbits.
Nancers...you know I'll definately exercise great care with that....as always!
I wish I had a way to read back and thank all of you personally...and once my damn connection from home gets fixed I will certainly try.
thank you all again for all of this. I hope to get some screenshots from home, for the next time my reputation is in the squarecan
