I call Shake and Bake.  "What is going on?"  i knew this low down sneeky crowd was up to something as no one had said Happy Birthday on this forum.  I arrive at Town Hall and they had gotten a call from Shake and Bake.  So I was brought a copy of the Wake Weekly which comes in the mail.  I had gotten the mail but had not opened the paper [BTW: someone stole my N&O newspaper out of my driveway today].   Seems I am shown this:

 
Rascals.  Thanks a lot.  Makes me feel good.  God bless you all.
Now off to a movie and dinner with "wives". Laugh

Pat, Norris [who the heck he is] who sent mine and Tom who sent yours have a dirty minds.  We have discussed female Dr's over and over on here.  I think they are more concerned for their patients than most male Dr.s  The Motherly thing.  That is why my Dr's are female.  Nothing sexist intended.  Norris needs to go on his way.  This is what happens when somone who is a user/modirator drops in and are not familiar with the posters and past subjects discussed.  We all remember Selector dropping by and getting involved.  Bob Keller is the best modirator.  He will call us down when he needs too.  On the other hand, he knows us and is familiar with our past discussions.

 

Thanks Chief for the explanation, and I agree Bob is a great moderator. Do you suppose "They" will delete these two posts as well?WhistlingWhistling

NOW I can say it HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!Happy B-Day

Don; Great job, it does to pay have a devious mind creative sense of humour.

DJ; Don't think there are enuff megapixels to display the accurate number of candles required for a cyber cake for the Mayor.

Buckeye; Congrats on the newest member to the "Clan Buckeye(O'Hare)". Best form of "parental revenge" to date.

Frank, Happy B-Day and many more to come !

For some on here today this is a period of some enormous highs and equally tremendous lows, look back on the good times to help offset the lows and the joyous future of sharing in a new life. Prayers to all from our home to yours.

Now lets see here, there was something special about today....now, what was it?   Oh yeah, it is two days before D-Day!  Thats it!

Oh, but really, Chief, did ya think we'd let your big day go by without some kind of celebration?  Besides, who could forget with all the hints you droppedLaugh  ANyway, hope that you have  a great one shared with Mrs. Chief and lots of friends. 
God Bless,
Dennis

PS:  About time, we've been waiting all day to mention it, but were restricted by our Special Operations Commander out in CA.  No mention till you saw it.  I doubt you will ever know the complete story and how many folks were involved.  You either have a lot of people that care about you, or it may be that you have a lot out to get you.

The best part was him calling Don and accusing him of being up to something! Laugh He had absolutely NO idea what was in store for him!

 What about a BDay party in person, face to face. Could it happen? Most of us have only met on the "Pot" forum or by email, not in person. What do you think? Big Smile

Not that is going to take some serious thinking............

- Start a grass roots campaign for govenor

- We attend a City Council Meeting

- Hire a "Party Dancer" from Raligh to attend a City Council Meeting

- Send Buckeye down as a "Belly Dancer"

- Hire Fife and his boat to go up to the Lake and hijack the Pontoon Boat (the one with chiggers)

- Make him a Thomas Tank Engine body kit for his John Deere mower

----- Have to think more on this -----

Happy Birthday Chief!  Happy B-Day

The first friend I made in this hobby with O gauge was the Chief - he welcomed me here and made me feel at home.  The first good advice I recall was from the Chief - on what transformer to get.  He also shot me links to long threads comparing different ones and explained what it all meant to me.  I thought these things ran on DC - no joke!  Too, he explained block wiring to me and did not wonder at my lack of knowledge.  Finally, although he did point out to me that I am in fact a Yankee, although from a border state (MO), he did not chew me out for calling him at what I later learned was about 11:30 PM in NC time!  And after telling me all about his boat and his boat charger, some Sears tools, and his trains, at about 12:45 AM his time he did ask what I had called about Laugh proving that he is not only a gentleman, but also has a better memory that I have because I had completely forgetten!  Laugh

Man, so many pages today!  Big hats off to Don and first assistant Buckeye Thumbs Up

Prayers for Tom and Chief's friend.

Congrats Buckeye on the newest Buckeye and I know that won't be the only train he gets from Grandad!

Congrats, Rich, on your recertification!  Hope you get to go riding soon buddy!

Kurt, glad to hear from you again!  Hope all are healed up soon man!

SJ - what can I say?  I'm so proud of you!  18 pounds - I think that's like 36 Courics?  I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

Wife is feeling fine today, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. 

I'll be back later.  I know I forgot some comments I intended to make, but there was just so much there!  What a great forum - lots of fellowship, good information, good jokes, and great hobby talk!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Guys...need a little help, when is the Chief's Birthday.  I seem to have forgotten.  Laugh

Chief this whole thing started with one little email that said, "June 4th is the Chief's Birthday".  We nixed several ideas that we were not in poor enough taste.

Happy Birthday to the Roseyville Rascal. Happy B-Day

THANKS GANG.  Know how to make a guy feel good.  This is a great bunch.  Love you all.  God bless.

Now God did have a hand in this.  He kept you all from sending Buckeye disguised as a belly dancer.  Especially at the end of the dance, if he had tried to give me a kiss.  UGH, Spit, Spit, Listerine, Lye Soap!!!!!!!  LaughLaughLaugh

Outstanding surprise.

Good evening all,

A special late night post from the Hoosierland.  Happy Birthday, Chief!   For once I wanted to be able to post on the day of the actual event.  Without your guidance, this slowly growing circle of friends would not exist.  Hope you are having a great day!

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana
