This date in history was also the first use of a word (term) we use probally every day. Can you think of the word?

By the way, :bdaysong to all the B-day people.

Thanks for the :coffee and :baconeggs too, it has been a real long week in :work5.

Well, to all, have a great weekend ...

Oh yea, the word ... OK.

Hey, I posted at 6:45am my time, but PhBB is showing it a 5:45am. Hmm, it must think we're still on Standard time!

As a matter of fact, it's 11:19am now, and phBB is previewing my message as if it is being posted at 10:19am.

We can celebrate a "bunch" of birthdays during our Canal trip on Legacy. Since it's a "milestone" birthday year for my Queen we'll start her celebration...we can have a birthday or two a day. Everyone can sign up for a "birth day" party day...could drive the crew nuts.

Belated THANKS, y'all!!

Just returned from my west coast swing last night and wanted to thank you all for the wonderfull birthday wishes.

Used to ignore every Mar. 23rd, but I guess I've gotten to the "you look great for your age" stage, so I'll start paying attention again. I cheated by saying I was 107, 'cause, by comparison, my real age sounds so much better!!!!

Dellie,
you don't look great for your age...you look awesome for your age (or even someone 10 years your junior). And since I'm older than you I must know best :grin
