It's your day! Happy Birthday!
I saw a Birthday Thread suggested twice so as this year's unofficial bearer of birthday greetings, I take it upon myself to start it.
Last year I happen to come upon The Barrow-Wight's birthday (July 6th) on the calendar. Never really having much to do with the calendar I did feel it appropriate to wish our esteemed founder a happy birthday. A few days later I decided to start my "Have you wished someone a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today?! signature. I being neither particularly smart or funny use this as a way to make my mark, per se. It has now almost been a whole year and will be, on the anniversary, retiring my signature. So let this thread stand to wish those whose special day it is a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It would certainly be useful for me to have a place where I can wish people happy birthday and that, because I hardly ever look at the birthdays bit of the page. Hence I go through the year in a constant state of embarrassment. If you don't wish some happy birthday early enough their PM box gets too full. So you wait a bit, then forget. And then the next day comes and you can't word the greetings right so you don't look like you are making excuses. And then the next day comes and you start to hang your head. And then the next day and you think 'Oh well, they'll not be in much of a birthday mood now'...and so on, throughout the year....
Anyway, I'll use this opportunity of wishing birthday greetings to those Downers who I have shamefully omitted to give some cheer to. You know who you are.

Well I am very grateful for all my birthday goodwishes some of which have launched continuing correspondence. SinceI have the bad habit of dealng with the most recent correspondence first I must also apologise to the Downers who haven't yet made it to the top of my list even though they wrote on other matters some time ago.. I will get there I promise

My birthday was last week (June 28). I thought I'd use this thread to thank those who did PM birthday wishes: Lhunardawen, HerenIstarion, and Durelin. Thanks guys!
Happy Birthday Encaitare! Eighteen is a sweet year.

Go raibh maith agat! That's thank you in the words of my Irish ancestors. If I might, I'd like to say something fitting for this momentous occasion.

Cheers, hewhoarisesinmight! Have a good time!
Měj se a ať ti jde do života všechno skvěle, i po ten následující rok!!! If you came to Prague, you could have celebrated it with Radagast beer. (notice: contains advertising. Soon to be deleted. Noo! We really have Radagast beer.)

Happy Birthday, Volo. May it be filled with more cheese than it is humanly possible to digest.

Here's hoping the other 87 Boromirs don't crash your party.

Happy birthday, sir Boromir! According to the Tale of the Years, the time is drawing near when you are going to leave on the journey towards Rivendell! But right now you should have Gandalf around, so enjoy the birthday with him.

While I heartily second the birthday messages to Kitanna and Sixth, I would include Abercrombie of Glorious Memory. She hasn't been around so much lately but those who can remember cannot forget the creator of the Downer Periodic Table, one of the all time great posts.
