Thanks to Woodworkforums!
I just wish to thank Woodworkforums.com for the Happy Birthday wish. I assume I'm talking to an electronic, brainless auto-responder, but I want to thank all it's circuitry for the pleasant greeting in my email.
Jan. 16 is my birthday, as well as a special grand-daughter, Kylie, who turns 18, while I am doing good to just turn over in bed period!I have undergone successful radiation treatment for prostate cancer, and two TURP surgeries; with the surgeon cutting "something" (?) he should not have cut on the last surgery and I am now suffering the consequences of that goof. But I have much to thank God for and I do that each morning. My high school sweetheart and I have shared over 50 years of marriage together.
While woodworking is one of my joys, the health issues have kept me out of the garage - my only workshop area - and I do look forward to getting back in there to smell the wonderful scent of wood shavings, combined perhaps with a pipe full of "Spanish Galleon" tobacco from www.Justforhim.com in Missouri.
So thanks again for the Happy Birthday wish. High five greetings to you all.
Jess (i.e.: Jess't an old poop!)

Thanks for the Happy Birthday
So, you're saying that that guy with a rotund tummy is the one who sends the Happy Birthday wishes out? Could that be Neil, since he asked to have a piece of the cake?
LOL
I have to get used to this forum format. So hope this ends up after the replies to my initial post.
Thanks guys! I love German Chocolate cake, but my doc has been really pressuring me to lose 40 lbs, and gosh durned if it isn't one of the toughest things to do! So I doubt I'll get a cake. Maybe a carrot cake, minus the cake!
I ordered myself a new fountain pen (yeah, I'm into fountain pens!) Huh? You forgot what they're used for? I did too, so I looked it up and it goes way back to the "good ole days" when people wrote personal letters with pen to paper, then mailed them in an envelope. Whenever I receive one these days, it's sure nice to be able to unfold a letter and hold the paper in hand and read it, especially when it was hand-written. Kinda like the next best thing to sitting face to face with them for a visit.
Anyway, back to my gift to myself. The price was $90. A confirmation came in my email showing the price of $50.00. Now maybe I'll use the $40 I saved and buy some small batch Knob Creek Kentucky Bourbon to sip occasionally during our freezing, severe California winter - I think it didn't even reach 60 degrees today!
My wife said she was giving me a Nikon D-40 SLR Digital camera, AFTER I ordered it myself too! The new BMW or Lexus she still resists; and even getting another job, although she is retired. I thought true love would prompt her to work nights at Taco Bell or MacDonalds to pay for a new Lexus or BMW, but no! Women! LOL
Enjoyed your humor, guys. Thanks again,
Jess
