Happy personal new year! Incendiate the fiber-cored wax cylinders atop the thermocongealed emulsion of pulverized botanical reproductive units, saccharides, avian ovule extract, and assorted oleates! Bask in the performance of the arcane incantations! Wantonly flay the decorative obfuscational coverings from the tribute offerings!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. My birthday was spent first feeding the pets that the people left behind, then went to the laundromat, then helping someone clean her apartment as she is turning in her key tomorrow… and to celebrate I got a M&N Blizzard at Dairy Queen on the way home from the laundromat. Exciting birthday. Right?
I wasn’t aware that we had a designated HAPPY BIRTHDAY thread… But then again I’m probably not aware of a lot of things though. @kidsandliz
/giphy Happy belated birthday
@Lynnerizer It started off as a silly participation thing for the meh “birthday” 'thon back in July. That seems to have changed. I’m not going to complain; it’s already here, why not use it?
Sometimes, when I feel down or lonely, I glance up to the sky and wonder. I wonder about the birthday balloon. Where did it go? How long did it blow?
I get a little teary eyed thinking that maybe, just maybe, it’s still floating out there.
I remember the joy it shared with us for the few days we were all together. Then I smile. I dust myself off and give a loud shout. How much does the car insurance cost?
@werehatrack my favorite part last time was that it stayed up for two days and then within ten minutes after midnight everyone let it drop, not to be touched again until…now.
@Kyeh no, but I would love to do that. Not sure about my wife though!
Hot air balloon ride was on my mother-in-law’s bucket list years ago. For her bday one year we arranged a ride for her. To give it to her as a gift we put a helium balloon inside a box with a gondola attached to it by strings. When she opened the box it floated out with a note about her upcoming ride dangling from it. She was stunned. It was pretty cool!
@Kyeh
Absolutely! It was cool because we watched the launc and chased her through town till they landed in a parking lot at a fitness center. It was pretty spectacular
Yes, but only because it’s my birthday today and I’m making sure to post about it everywhere.
/showme Happy birthday, @JoJoe86!

@JoJoe86 Have a happy and joyful day!
@werehatrack Is it REALLY “ovule extract” when you just unceremoniously dump the whole contents in the bowl?
Bump
That’ll do, balloon. That’ll do.
I still have a birthday card in a SASE that’s probably addressed to the old warehouse.
Will meh get it within the next decade?
Ask again later
/8ball
@narfcake Me too! It’s still sitting on a shelf in the basement from when I mentioned it last year! I’m a hoarder!
@narfcake Also, it is 100% addressed to the old warehouse and the old company name.
@narfcake Found the picture I took exactly one year ago today.
@mossygreen @narfcake I mailed mine back the following year like a good mehtizen. With cookies.
@Kyeh aw
Mehbe if you had an intriguing subject. Or a contest. We love contests
Speaking of contests, here’s a cake I made during a birthday cake design contest for Meh’s birthday in 2016.
Amehn to that, @jouest!
Fun idea
I guess we’ll find out.

@Kidsandliz Okay, let me be the first to say

@chienfou Have you & Mme. Chienfou been on a balloon ride?
@Kyeh no, but I would love to do that. Not sure about my wife though!

Did she enjoy her ride?
