Happy Birthday Reb.

Sensible way to live life and celebrate a birthday in my opinion. I try not to go too fast or it quickly becomes overwhelming.

"Thank you" Lightning. If truth be told, I slept through a lot of it. Nothing like living life in the fast lane. 

Happy belated birthday. If it was three days ago you and my youngest sister share the same birthday. Hope you had a good one.

I hate to break it to you Former Member, but I think the days of me being a "chick" are long gone. More like a knackered old bird. 

Former Member, I can only assume Father Christmas is suffering from amnesia and has forgotten that I don't have a chimney.

As for that supposed wish, you are a cheeky [bleep]!!! 

No, She just lights Her hair 

She was not born...She was Hatched. 
Good ole chick.

I thought it was appropriate at the time.

Of course i know who you are.
Father Christmas knows everything.
P.s That Ann Summers wish you sent me wont fit down your roof Chimney 

Indeed.

Playfully teasing or deadly serious.  I am, apparently, very easy to misread at either extreme - I always aim for the middle ground - but often face-plant myself.

It took me a very long time to realise that my "dead pan humour" is often dangerously just interpreted as "dead pan" IRL.

My dial between "bullish" and "reasoned" is also badly calibrated too according to the perceptions of most.  Add that to a theatrical ability to mimic and do voices well - you can imagine the fiascos that I can unintentionally generate from time to time!

Excessive? Maybe... Irritating? Certainly not (in my opinion)... Pointless/Nonsensical? No

Your style of writing is part of what makes you, YOU Number.

For what it is worth, I think your disambiguations can be helpful for members who may not be familiar with you and know if you are playfully teasing or being deadly serious.

I do get teased a lot (I can take it) about my excessive.....and irritating......"and pointless".... (nonsensical)...."....."....use of punctuation.......[Disambiguations].....and chaps....Kind regards......I am Number.

I have now idea why?

With genuine birthday good wishes........but DEFO no emoji to celebrate the fact !

"Thank you" Number.

Gosh! Only another 364 days to go until I need to worry about my birthday again. Yay! I can't wait.

[Disambiguation - Yes, I flipping well can wait. In fact, I think I would like to start counting backwards to being 21 again = Wishful thinking]

Thank you for explaining.

Sorry it wasn't meant to be. I've been active in previous years but more messaging with friends since as I find posting challenging. The forum is very buggy and I think isn't working properly with my profile, most of my posts used to get got by the spam system. Oh well, have a good one today.

That sounds almost cryptic. I am confused though because your only activity in the forums appears to be on this and one other discussion on the Miscellaneous and Chat forum.

You are welcome, I hope you had a good birthday. We have crossed paths many times, many ghosts rest behind us.

Happy 365+(1/365).

I don't really understand birthdays.

Number.

"Thank you" Pegg.

Sparkly, I hope your birthday was good, however you spent it x
