Since it was me who intentionally jumped the gun and caused great consternation, I will say it again here:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

And my dog avatar came back for your birthday. You're welcome.

Reality Check wrote: Tue Dec 13, 2022 8:32 am You must have waited to start first grade until the year after you turned 6. December babies were sort of in weird situation back then because depending on where you lived you either started at age 5 and turned 6 the following December or waited the until the fall after you turned 6. Mrs. RC was born a year and a handful of days after you but also graduated in 1971 when she was still 17 because she entered first grade at age 5. It may have been parents' choice to start kids at age 5. I do not recall. My younger brother was born on October 23rd and also started first grade at 5.
I started I a state where you had to be 5 before December 1st, a deadline I beat by 2 weeks. We then moved to a state where you had to be 5 before September 1st to start 1st grade. To this day, I wish they'd held me back because I was a full year younger than most of my fel.ow students, and at those young ages a year can be a big difference. But they just pushed me on through and I wound up starting college at 17. :roll:

... the second time. There was another one, but I deleted it.

And it wasn't exactly great consternation, but it was a little weird to get two different happy birthday threads on a day when it wasn't even my birthday yet. :?

We're working. We can't celebrate until open enrollment is over. Numbah One Son is coming for dinner and driving away again. He's bringing takeout.

I went to the sooper market and tried to buy one of these.

The lady behind the counter bought it for my birthday. :shock:

That was nice. :towel:

:clap: :clap: :clap: That's what I'm talking about! That looks good. If I jump in my car right now I could be there by about midnight or one or two in the AM.

My dad always used to make something like that but the fruit was in a clear jelly. He always called it hortentorten because he couldn’t say tortenguss. :lol: :lol:

So happy hortentorten, Foggy! :fiesta: :fiesta:

ETA don’t even ask how he pronounced smorgasbord :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

A big ole Happy Birthday to you, Foogy, as you embark on your eighth decade sucking in oxygen and expelling the carbon dioxide that lets all the plants thrive and flourish. Glad to hear that you are still vertical!

For a guy who has been variously half-baked, fully baked, oscillating, tertiary, and today, unwretched (inter alia) I wish many many more of these annual celebrations to come.

Notes from Foggy’s primary care physician:

Patient acknowledged a certain amount of confusion about his exact date of birth. Patient also cannot articulate his basic means of survival and support.

Recommend a pint of blood for testing, and a follow-up with Dr. Whatshername in geriatric psychiatry.

Happy birthday, whenever it is or was.

So you are ABSOLUTELY positive this is the day you were born, 70 years ago? Everyone else is only allowed one bite of the birthday apple, although we realize you are extra special and deserve as many birthday threads as you like.

Happy Birthday!
