I had a swell idea for "sort of" an online present for all of you. I've wanted to do it in the past but chickend out.

This year,I decided "why not?". Here's how it works. All interested,please leave me (private message) the date of your birth. That simple. :)

Now,I "would" say why but it would spoil the surprise. :D I think you'll like it.

I will then,PM you the "gift" in relation to your B-day. ;) Hope to hear from many of you and in advance Merry Christmas & Happy Thanksgiving too! :cool:

How many PM's have you received so far ?

Bill :)

I have received 3 so far Bill and I have (until I take care of the 2 with me at the moment)delivered one "gift" so far. :)

I hope you take part! ;) See ya. :)

I'm happy to say that so far,I have delivered 3 gifts! :D I'm getting quite the positvie feedback after they've
been received too.

Thank you to Auburn Annie,Jesse-Joe & Time-Traveler for taking part. :) I have now gotten requests from Charlene and Jenney and will go home from here & work on their gifts. ;)

In the spirit of the holidays,I say,the more the merrier! :cool:

Just got done delivering 2 more! :) That's 5 of course and I'm about to go home and start another two!

I'm also going to make one in honor of Gordon's Birthday,which I'll put on the main board. Then you all might get the idea behind this. ;)

See ya next time! Bye! :cool:

Thanks B buddy, that was great!

Your soooo welcome and thanks for that lovely art photography you sent me too. ;) It surely is a sight to behold. :)

Here's who has participated so far:

Auburn Annie
Jesse-Joe
TimeTraveler
Charlene
Brink
Joveski
Janice,your gift is almost done. :cool:

I'm sending Jenney hers in Dec. ,I hope she doesn't mind my saying...her birthday is the 4th.

I'll say no more than that...happy birthday in advance Jenney! Also...I'm saying that and giving the "gift" because I know how busy we all get @ the holidays. :)

New participants! :)

Thank you to:

Cathy
Yuri and
new member & poster Steele's Tavern! ;)

I'll have all five pending,finished before the weekend is over! :)

I'm going to keep this open until
Monday Dec. 11th,
for I know after that date we'll all be busy with the holidays.

One of the other reasons I wanted to do this besides the great gift of giving is,for the past (nearly) 2 months,I have been unemployed and I needed something positive to keep my own positive thinking alive.

Today (oddly enough,Gord's birthday! :) ) I finally have a new job & start Tuesday. Thank God.

You all helped me keep hope alive so,again big,big thank you's!! :D

Glad to hear you got a new job B. You've had quite a rough ride since you ventured from the hotel. What will you be doing ?

Best of luck to you,

Bill :)

Some customer service/telephone work. Easy job for a good salary. ;)

To all those still waiting,I'm almost done. :)

Jenney yours will be posted in your mailbox late next week. :)

Gotta love your lists B ! A great way to pinpoint a memory and maybe a laugh or two.

June 13 1974 I was spending a fine Summer Side Of Life day at USMCRD in South Carolina. More than once I caught a far away radio playing "Billy Don't Be A Hero".

You share a birthday with my daughter.

Bill :)

I'll tell you Bill,"Billy" may be #1 on my birthday that year but all I remember about hearing it on the radio is that it made me cry! :(

Which is strange becasue it was really over my head. Must have been the mood in the singers tone of voice or something.

The week aftr they finished being #1 for 2 weeks,Gordon hit #1 with "Sundown"! :rolleyes: Rats! Missed it! :D

An honor it is to share that date with your daughter. You may want to let her know she shares that day with singer Bobby Freeman ("Do You Wanna Dance"?),Tim Allen,The Olson Twins and Richard thomas who played John Boy on The Waltons. ;)
