mornin' Imponderables.
Hi Clementine. Fellow engineer here (EE). I just wanted to say that your comment about ineffecient elevator exiting in the last thread amused me a bit more than it probably should have. :)
Birthdays - I agree with LA29, as far as kids go. I like seeing my boys' smiling faces covered in cake and ice cream and see their joy at opening the shiny presents. As for myself, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. It's a reason for a nice meal or sex and for someone to give me stuff I didn't have to pay for (unless it is from wifey, then it came out of the same money pool anyhow). I like Lewis Carroll's idea, let's celebrate unbirthdays, that way we can justify cake and ice cream year round

Birthdays? Normally I wiew them as just another normal day, although this year I seemed to let it affect me a bit (as was demonstrated by creating a pub thread based on it). With the exception of my 21st, I haven't really celebrated my birthday with people outside my immediate family since I was in primary school (so, not since I was 12 or thereabouts).
Not much else to say at the moment, except good morning to all those just waking up, and good night to all those going to bed.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Just looking, and admiring, RIMG and Nico's newish Tags. Was struck by the juxtaposition of the two. They really say the same thing, don't they...
Oh, and good morning to all. Made the mistake of wandering into RWED again and you know how that is.

Still birthday partying, eh? Okay, today is my sister-in-law's. And since I already woiced my birthday opinion, I'm stepping away from the open mike so someone else can have a turn.
"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

I truly believe that the vast majority have the whole notion backwards. I figure if you have survived to the accidental anniversary of your birth day, well, that's nice for ya. I send my mother gifts on my birthday anniversaries. I mean, really, what she had to go through to bring me into this world, sheesh! And: ouch! I expect that those of you with first hand experience with pregnancy and childbirth might be at least a little inclined to agree with me.
A fanciful ideal would be to give all mothers a paid vacation day on the birthdays of each of their children. Twins earn two days, and so forth.
I concede that there's a problem with how wee bairns are to summon the means to throw parties for and gift their mothers. Maybe stick with celebrating birthdays for the person whose birthday it is until they are on their own? Dunno.
My mom thinks I'm weird. In a good way, eh?

Good Morning, Everyone.
Well, after a night spent grumping over the wet t-shirt loss at the end of the last thread, I am back to face a beautiful, rather unseasonably warm Maryland morning.
Variable weather and too much coffee (is there such a thing?) equal one sniffly Mavourneen. My co-worker just threw a box of Kleenex across the room at me. And I was getting better, too!
I don't get irked at birthdays - but I do get irked at people who lie about their age. C'mon, it's just a number.
A girlfriend of mine will say something like "It's the 18th anniversary of her 21st year." Oh, please. You are 39. Embrace it.
RIMG- Where'd your great Jayne pic go? I think I like that better than the nuclear bomb - but maybe the bomb pic is how you feel today, so okay.

Mav - yes, definitely based on my mood, but if you want to see it, there is a copy on my MySpace http://www.myspace.com/supernova_412 I may change it back later.
