Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Belated birthday wish to Ajax

Happy very belated birthday!!

See what happens when you don't read the board for a couple of days?

Bren, you're not the last one to the party after all. I usually only visit the forums M-F at work, so I missed another of Jack's birthdays.

Glad you had a good one, Jack! Here's to the senior member of the Brain Trust.

Thank you gentleman.

JP, no one gave you permission to take the weekends off . OOPS! Wait a minute. On second thought, no reason why the rest of us shouldn't enjoy a little peace and quiet.

The knowledge that you post only while at work conjures up the image of some poor lost soul, lying on the couch, pouring his heart out, while you're typing bon mots here on the forum, and every 30 seconds, or so, randomly saying "Uh huh," "I see," "Well, what do you think it means?"

Well, apparently there is good clean competition to be last to this party.

I am on JP's forum schedule, sort of. I rarely compute on the weekends. Mrs. Tuttle says I rarely compute, period.

Jack, Congratulations and Thank You for continuing to bring joy and wisdom to our lives. I am among those who try to continue to learn, and you are among those who have my sincerest respect as Elder / Teacher.

Too bad the Browns couldn't bring it home for you yesterday.

Oh, and Jack, can you give me the url for that Webcam you have set up at JP's place?

JP actually uses Eliza on his patients, so he has more time for the boards.

There's a joke in there somewhere...

He meant commute.

Thank you so much, Tom. But, if you expect to learn anything from this "elder/teacher" you are in deep doo doo. There are too many wiser, more knowledgeable members, not to mention younger (and nobody'd better mention it ), who do a wonderful job of helping the "new" and the "still learning" (which includes me), and are to be commended for the time, effort, and patience they devote to that task. Thanks to all of you who make this a comfortable, informative, fun place to be. And you, Thomas, are at the top of the list.

Jack, you are too modest. We all have things to teach each other and we can all learn from each other. You make those interactions particularly easy and enjoyable. There are more important components of learning than just dispensing facts - like setting the example that it is joyful to practice the act of giving "time, effort and patience", and doing so with style, grace and eloquence.

Cheers, my friend.

Yes, Jack... what was it like before electrity and cars?
