Happy birthday Neely
"He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way the night comes when day is done."
Happy Birthday!
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Happy Birthday mate. Have you got yer taties in yet?
happy birthday! have a great day!
One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.
"Je crains [...] que l'âme ne se vide à ces passe-temps vains, et que le fin du fin ne soit la fin des fins." (Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac, Acte III, Scène VII)
Cheers! Have a happy day!
Happy Birthday!

Neely, let me wish you all the best for your birthday. I don't normally record birthday greetings on LitNet because it's only children and teenagers who don't realise that they are one year further down the road to dusty death. Your current birthday would indicate that you are aware of this and so I send you my sincerest regards on this august occasion.
"L'art de la statistique est de tirer des conclusions erronèes a partir de chiffres exacts." Napoléon Bonaparte.
"Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.
Thanks all for your kind words on this very special occasion!
I've been out for a meal with the evil one and had a great time eating Italian food, drinking wine (Emil: Frascati Superior at £13.95, easy drinking for Mrs Neely?) and then playing on the quiz machines in the good, nesbit-free, pubs. Previous to this I have spend the whole day in the garden feeling the sun and reading, not a bad day, birthday or not.
Thanks again Comedian, I intend the 24 hour celebration to last a lifetime if possible...Loka, hoope, Paul, yes the pots are doing fine, kiki, jersea, bill and Emil thanks - (indeed, I feel the same as you mostly but alas, it is a good idea to get a few free drinks from relatives, for what else are they for? - it is all good in that regard).
Thanks again, kind regards and live long and prosper!!

I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Neely !
Here are a few hi-lites from 1978 borrowed from my Compton's year book.

Happy Birthday, Neely - you did of course plant the potatoes yesterday, didn't you?
Oh, my apologies, I missed your birthday.
Hope you had a good one.
