Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!
Bob, there was indeed shame but not of the fun kind. It was that I was so busy at work the last two days & evenings that I didn't get to respond here. But that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate all the efforts from my newfound friends.
To clear up a few other things.
There was no shine involved in this year's celebrations......yet. The weekend is almost here.
The package with air holes has not yet arrived but what a great way to bring a new pupppy home and it wouldn't even be my fault. "It came in the mail. What could I do?"
On that subject, don't read "The Art of Racing in the Rain". It took two days for Sharon to stop spontaneously sobbing after finishing it and the tears began after the very first chapter. I simply refuse to read it.
Cat. Saying "Happy Birth" has the ring of some Sci Fi B movie, alien birth scene. I like it.
My brother Shane was nicknamed "Smurphy" actually. He was coincidentally obsessed with all things smurf as a smurph kid. Right down to having smurph wallpaper. Best of all was when he grew up and joined a company that used first initial + last name for email addresses. You got it... smurphy@___.ca
So thanks again all!
I'm sorry I couldn't say that sooner but I put my Birthday on hold until about 5:00pm tonight (maybe earlier) but you'r all invited!!
