Susan, okay, if you insist. 
What lovely chums to celebrate with, all of you…thanks for all the good wishes.
Carol
Happy Birthday! I hope you had a lovely day!

Happy Birthday Carol! Hope it is/was a good one. We’re whipping up a cake in the chatroom as well…but you better hurry…umm..well…okay.. looks like we’ll have to save you a peice ..oh..wait…umm…hmmm…too late. I guess I’ll have to make you another one…there’s some icing left I think..no..that’s gone too…

I didn’t do it!
Thanks Redwolf, and Walden for that graphic that so truly captures the essence of my friends on this board. And Alan (and Moon)…I would never suspect you of eating all of my birthday cake. My guess is that it just must have somehow fallen through the carpet-covered, table-topped hole in the chatroom floor–perfectly understandable!
But thank you for the thought, and for my first laugh of the day.
Carol
Well it does look like a very fine birthday party, as Mark eggs Carol one to make JUST one more post for her 1K breakthrough.
Still awake Carol?

I’m sure that when Carol makes her entrance to the hallowed halls of the 1K lounge it will be with great elegance and panache so let’s not rush the girl.
We, who are already in the Lounge, have been waiting for her to join us for quite a long time now.We can hold out a while longer 
Slan,

Happy belated Carol! I hope you had a wonderful day, and that the year ahead is filled with many beautiful moments, much love, and great happiness.
Belated b’day wishes to a lady whose elegance is exceeded only by her erudition–and superb taste in aviators. Enjoy the best!
