I asked Marcia if it was okay to post this sort of thread and she said it was okay.

I thought it would be nice to wish those who have a birthday on the forum as there are many of us who either have our birthdays ignored or that we live alone.  

I thought it would be nice to sort of create a further sense of community within the community and show that we care.

So maybe as the months come by all we could do is post in the thread that it's our birthday or something...

Plus I got the idea from a forum that I go to and it is a nice feeling when someone wishes a "Happy birthday'' to you.  It feels that someone actually cares.

So yes, Happy birthday.  Whatever you plan to do, hope you have an enjoyable day.
