The Big 52

[abby]

I see at the very wee bottom of the forum it says Ms. Ania is 52 today. Well I know nobody comes around these parts anymore but the four of us. Regardless, Happy Fucking Birthday, ANIA! May this possible wretch of a year be kind going forward.

Oops.

Happy Birthday from me too Ania. You and that pup of yours are no longer pups...along with many of us. Hope you celebrate the day and enjoy it. All the best to one of the original bunch of Cohenuts.

Happy Birthday, Ania-you are still just a kid.

Don't know if we're friends on Facebook, but we just got a new pup, "Blue" (after the song, I had an old dog and his name was Blue and I betcha 5 dollars, he's a good dog, too.

Hello Blue! & hello Joe! & hello Dar!

[dar]

Greetings Joe and Anne and Abby. Now we'll see if that pup can hit those high notes...Bluuuuuuu!

52!?! Seriously!? That's a hard one to fathom.
Happy Birthday, dearest!!
Hi to you, too, Dar!! And Abby and Joe and Blue!!

[dar]

Well, well, certainly hope all is well with you Lizzy. So good to see you pop up here. And, I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Ania in my last post too. 52? I'll always think of all us old-timers here as just a bunch of crazy kids.
O, here's a thought I had the other day.

Isn’t It Romantic?

How ridiculous to continue penning

poems about love, loss, longing, despair.

You’re so far from there

with your withered skin and grey hair.

How dare you commit such a sin.

Grow up!

Very humorously well said, Dar. I love it! On our behalf, the heart may grow weary, yet does it ever *really* grow old when it comes to romance? It seems to live in a space quite its own apart from the skin and the bones. I'm fine, thanks! Exhausted, though. I'm very busy with the foreign exchange students I supervise, to the extent that I haven't been able to complete my reimbursement requests for the money I've spent, and I need the money! Them and the mindless scrolling on FB and cat videos (an attempted antidote to current events, if you know what I mean without having to go to another section to say it). Jarkko was smart to depart from there years ago, after a brief foray into it. Instagram seems the thing now, but I can't add something else. I just can't.
