    Oh my. We used to have a tool to see whose birthday is coming up, but that somehow faded away. Yeah, it's my birthday. I'm 61, if anyone cares. My senile mother forgot it; why shouldn't all of you? Happily, all of my friends at TheFireArms forum remembered. There's a good reason why I like shooters and reloaders a lot more than programmers. I just can't figure out how to logically define the difference. It's big, I'm sure, but I haven't yet figured it out. Anyway way, Happy birthday to me, and I hope that the rest of you have a fairly decent day.

    Will Rogers never met me.

    happy birthday to you! (As played on the worlds smallest violin) :laugh: Sorry your mother forgot, and I hope your local friends remember! :thumbsup: Have as good a day as you can, and remember: you are only as old as the lady you feel. Or locked up, one of the two...

      Happy birthday, Roger :-) You were a young 46 year old when we first encountered each other on CP!

            Happy Birthday, Roger ! Speaking from eleven years beyond you, I can tell you the weather is fine, and you have excellent experiences ahead of you; but, yes, the movie may slow down a little, at times. :rose: Bill

                Have a great day. And, as others have mentioned, 61 is far from old these days: I'm still posting rubbish at 70.

                        Yeah, those chat sessions on Sonork, with about 8-10 of us from CP, those were pretty awesome :-) I remember discussing if .NET would ever take off (we were all playing with the 1.0 pre-beta) among other things!

                            At school I had a friend with the same birthday as me. Everybody remembered his and forgot mine. My ex had a birthday 2 days before me. Everybody (including her!!!!) remembered hers and forgot mine. In the end I decided it would be a whole lot easier all round if I just forgot mine too!

                            I think they remembered the date, but they forgot "Member 9082365" and then especially the last part. How awkward would it be to say "Hey Member 9082366, happy birthday! :D" ? Easier to just ignore it altogether ;p

                                  Thanks a bunch, Ravi! I'm probably too old to do a jig, and I prefer scotch over beer, but I don't think we have a scotch.gif available. Perhaps, now that I'm retired, I should devote some time to creating more expressive emoticons for our favorite forum... I did a steaming turd years ago, but Chris declined to adopt it for some reason.
