    On this date, 29 years ago, I first graced the world with my presence.
    Some may say the world has regretted it ever since!
    
    Happy Birthday to me, etc.
    
    Goldy.
12.10Happy Birthday !CURRNT::WARBURTONWed Apr 30 1997 09:534
    
    I think that was a hint for a birthday card !!

    Well (who?) you don't sit far from the shop, do you? ;-)
    
    Goldy.
12.12CHEFS::7A1_GRNA hangover is the wrath of grapesWed Apr 30 1997 13:314
    Many happy returns, Goldy.  Are you going to do anything special by way
    of celebration?
    
    CHARLOTTE
12.13VAXCAT::GOLDYPin-striped goldfishWed Apr 30 1997 13:534
    I doubt it. Unless he who must be obeyed decides to surprise me with
    something.
    
    Goldy.

    As you get older, you tend to get less birthday presents (that doesn't
    sound like correct English but never mind!). However, one present of
    note that I got is "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking". I wonder if
    that's a hint! I've actually read it before but there's no harm in
    reading it again. Maybe I'll succeed this time.
    
    And, my beloved is taking me out to dinner tonight. I have strict
    orders to eat nothing this afternoon, especially not the choccies that
    the MNM bought me!
    
    Goldy.

    Never mind the ones I bought you !
    
    This girl has got that much chocolate at her desk, she could open a
    shop !!

    >As you get older, you tend to get less birthday presents
    
    Strictly speaking
    As you get older, you tend to get fewer birthday presents
    is correct English.
    
    Cheers,
    Brian

    Thanks Brian. See what advanced age is doing to my grammar?!
    
    Goldy.

    Brian,
    
    I should think "As one gets older, one receives fewer presents" is more
    correct. Strictly speaking.
    
    At least she didn't use the awful and incorrect "less presents" some
    people insist on using.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.
