I didn't think of it as being the first year of the 6th decade, but the last year(which it is!!)of the 5th!!!

Happy birthday, youngin', and many more to come!!!
Rich

Wow Ray, I remember when Jack had his 59th. I can't believe it has been a year already.

Happy B-Day Jack! Hope you treat yourself to an enjoyable day.

Randy

Happy birthday, Jack! Hope you had a good day and the Cavalier's win made it even a bit better.

Jack

Err... That's supposed to be dude. I guess that's what happens when old guys try to be hip and use the vernacular of the youth.

oz

I'll "second" all of that!!!!!!!!!

"Axionland"...

Where's that?

Have an excellent birthday Jack. All the best.

HAPPY B DAY

Jack,

Wishing you the very best this life has to give. Happy 60th my friend!

Another year's passed, another year older.
Funny how we notice such things as the
season's turn colder.

We stop, we think, we ponder and reminisce.
Days of youth gone in the mist.

We never forget the good times we had,
nor the ones that we consider so bad.

We move on, we push forward,
taking life in such stride.
Riding lifes waves one tide at a time.

Another year older, still young at heart.
Now for the love of us all, crank up the tunes ya ol' fart!

Happy Birthday bud, God Bless ya with many more to come.

Happy Birthday Jack, and many more................60 huh, and you say I'm old. lol

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you, Jack!

Have a wonderful birthday with all the bells and whistles possible!

God Bless!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!!!!!!
Funny thing....... you dont look that old.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping.
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.


Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jack! I hope you are out having a good time, or in. . .wherever. . .as long as you're having fun!

Priceless, Brady!!!!!!!! Wish I DID look that young. Too funny.

Thank you all so much! I'm enjoying a very special birthday. My family is gathering to help me celebrate. My sister from San Francisco and her daughter Laura from Portland, OR are already here. We had a WONDERFUL day. We watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith tonight. Fun, improbable shoot-em-up. Good DTS sound track

Joining us tomorrow will be my brother, coming from Ft. Myers, and my sister's son Chris, his wife Lorna, and their seven month old son Dexter from Phoenix. We will have 4 generations in the same room. Too cool! That they would all make such long trips (and from warmer climates, too), means the world to me.

The friendship I enjoy here means a great deal also. I'm very grateful for that. Thanks again folks.

Wow, go away for an evening and look at the party I missed.



May yo have many, many more Jack!!

Hmmm.....looks like I've got that 'Oz' disease.

'May YOU have many more jack!!'

Darn, I'm not even 60 yet.

Ok, one more...

Today is your birthday, that one special day,
where all of your troubles just fades away.

Gifts, good food, good times, and good cheer,
and we must not forget all the nice ice cold beer.

Today is the day were we give up a toast,
to recognize our friend who to us means
the most.

A kinder guy no one could know, God made
your heart out of solid gold. So kick back,
relax, and have a good day. No troubles, no
worries, just a very special day.



Sutter

Looks like I'm late for the party as well.Jack I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday and all that follow.



Best wishes,

Happy Birthday Jack! Check your e-mail!

(I'm confused... (**what's new?**) Was it 11/30 or is it 12/1?

You're not late, Rick. It's today. Oh GAD! I really am 60 now. How the hell did that happen. I can remember when I was very young (10, or 15), I thought by the time I reached 60 I'd have "it" all figured out, and have all the answers. WRONG AGAIN!

I don't intend to have a grave or headstone, but if I did, I would want the epitaph to be "He never did quite find the handle."

Thank you so much, everybody!

Happy Birthday Jack!

60 isn't all that bad. I recall when my dad was 50 and I was in my twenties. I thought that was old. Now I'm only 8 1/2 years from 50 myself. When did that happen?

Happy 39th, Jack! May all your 39ths be as pleasant as I'm sure this one is.

Happy, happy birthday from all of us at Axiom! 60 great years, and we wish you 60 great ones to follow! Hurrah!!!

Jack,

As someone who also shares his birthday with you during this time of the year (mine was this past Saturday - 45 here), Congratulations.

May God Bless your day and many more years to come.

Bask in the warmth of your family while they gather, my friend.

I'm fifteen behind you...

Again, congrats.

Lee

Happy birthday, AJAX...........(From limited internet access world).

Larry

Well, I can't add anything else that hasn't already been said, but I still want to wish you a happy birthday! Have a wonderful day, Jack!!!

Happy Birthday Jack,

As an example to all of us, of what I'm not sure
I hope your day is filled with joy and may the rest of your years bring you nothing but wonder and happiness.I wish I could drop by for a beer or two.

As for myself I've got another 8 months to go until I break into your distinguished decade.

Like you I have no idea how we managed to get to such an age. I swear it was only last week when I was twenty and trying to drive over myself with my own car.

Cheers,
Wayne

A Big Happy Birthday Jack from Vancouver, BC! Enjoy your special day with your family.
Cheers,
Shaun

Happy Birthday, Jack !!! You don't look a day over 59 9/10ths ...

Happy Birthdays Jack and WF!!!!

Happy b'day, ol' man... errr, Jack!

Congrats!

Hey that is my birthday too, except I will be 32. Exactly half your age!

Oh yea I almost forgot, HAPPY B-DAY AJAX! To those that say B-Days suck they sure are better than the alternative.

Steve, happiest of birthdays to you too, and may God grant you many more.

And to the rest of Y'all who have been mentioned in this thread:

Happy(belated/advanced)Birthday!!






And thank you for chiming in Lee,.....at least,as far as I know, I'm no longer the eldest(at 61)to contribute to this thread!!

And a Happy Birthday to WhatFurrer!


Geez, I hope you guys aren't expecting presents. . .

They all have our "presence", wishing them well, is that good enough?

Hope so

Well, that's gonna have to do!

If only I can convince my family members of that. . .

Happy birthday, Jack! -- from my chaotic, in-between homes existence. (I'm at my in-law's place in LA for the rest of the week and weekend, then to Virginia Sunday.)

You are all too kind, and I'm grateful for your birthday wishes. What a great place this is. I Had a FABULOUS day.

To Steve and Lee, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (late and early). I hope your day was/is as rewarding as satisfying as mine. Happily, I'll still have all my relatives today. And my brother, sister, and niece will remain tomorrow as well. Happy times.

I owe all of you, individually, a great big thanks for your kind wishes. But, If you guys will forgive me, I'd like to single out Amie and Mary for special mention. Being with all the guys here can be a ball. But, I happen to like, and enjoy, women (on several different levels ), and sometimes I feel like we overdose on testosterone (I'd wager they feel that way too, at times). I'm grateful for their little dose of estrogen, now and then. And, though some of you may feel differently, which I can understand, for myself, I wish there were a stronger female presence here on the forum. Vive le difference!

Thanks again, to you all. Being housebound, as I am, the social interaction this forum provides is a blessing, contentious though it may be at times. I'm grateful.

What the hell do you mean by that?







Sorry. I was truly incapable of resisting, Jack!

Score one for the little guy in New Hampshire! Laughed out loud, Mark.

Nothing like a BIG warm fire on a cold night

Jack, you cheated. I don't see 60 candles.
Happy belated birthday.

P.S. It was a pleasure speaking with you, although brief, over the phone a while back.

Great pic, I hope you didn't burn yourself.

On a cool night like this, that cake looks really, really, good!!

On my last birthday, I'm proud to say, there were even LESS candles than on Jacks cake!!

......my family ran out even earlier
