Happy birthday, Mark! Have a great day!

It's totally NOT COOL to ignore a birthday wish thread on your birthday.

Mark, you're not supposed to get a life on the one day when we all like you.

Happy Birthday, anyway.

Hey Mark,

I regret that I don't have the time to hang out here as much as I would like. I still think of so many here as good friends, you included. I still have the plaque you made hanging on my wall near my front door. I don't pass it without thinking of both my Mom and you. Have a wonderful day and..

Thanks everyone! Your well-wishes were a true highlight! Seriously, I think you guys made my day.

I don't mean to "bring things down", but to be honest, it was a pretty crappy day. Past a bunch of technical issues that plagued and frustrated me all day, I'm particularly introspective because my best friend from childhood died the other day, and I'm trying to wrap up a bunch of things here so I can go to his memorial in NJ in a couple of days.

Point is, sappy as it might sound, I really DO treasure you guys and feel very much as though you are friends and family... even though I haven't met 99% of you.

Birthdays don't ordinarily mean much to me, but on this one, I'm now thinking about the friends I have instead of the one I lost. Thank you.

JP, I never listed my birthday here, but I think Cam saw it on FaceBook....

Sorry to hear about your childhood friend, Mark.

BTW, the feelings of family and friends here is mutual.

Hell, I like people on this forum better than some of my own family members!

My sympathies Mark. Birthdays are already kinda semi dark and melancholy anyway, in that they remind you of your own mortality and the passing of time.

And as you get older, if you live long enough, you can expect more loss. \:\(

Mark's situation should remind us all to let the people we care about know how we feel about them while we can, cause you just never know, you know?

Hi Mark,
I'm late for your birthday but I hope your days get better and better. With the last name of Murphy, I've been to a couple of real Irish style wakes and you know, they have the right idea. Nobody pretends that losing a friend isn't difficult but also they celebrate the joy that their life brought to everyone. So, when you are ready, raise a piece of that birthday cake and salute your friend and all that you hold dear of him.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
