<p>Happy Birthday busdriver! DH and I are both turning 50 in a few months and we feel you ger than we did at 40. Enjoy a little Bailey’s in your coffee here at SA. There’s no limit to virtual drinking especially on a 50th birthday celebration!</p>
<p>Happy Birthday, busdriver!</p>
<p>My S is a senior in college and has gotten two job offers and recently accepted one of them! Done with the job hunt six months before graduation works for me.</p>
<p>Would anyone like to share my bottle of Veuve Clicquot with me?</p>
<p>Yay for the new job! <em>throws confetti</em> <em>drinks</em></p>
<p>Happy Birthday busdriver11. Sent you some greenies too. Glad youll have some time off soon. Maybe see you more in the taxes thread. </p>
<p>dadinator, is that the La Grand Dame? Then count me in. I’ll bring my imaginary vintage Krug with me.</p>
<p>Busdriver, I sent you some birthday greenies. I know how it is with birthdays getting lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>Lifting a glass of bubbly to dadinator’s employed-upon-graduation son & busdriver’s days off!</p>
<p>Dadinator, I’m in for some bubbly! Congratulations to your S!</p>
<p>Great news, dadinator! Pour me a glass of that champagne :)</p>
<p>Sent you some birthday green love, busdriver.</p>
<p>Why thank you all for the birthday wishes and the green love.</p>
<p>That definitely makes up for the fact that I lost $100 gambling here in the rocking town of Shreveport (okay the truth is, I always lose double of what I actually claim). But I did get two free glasses of crummy red wine for that…so at $100 glass, that’s something! Maybe with krlilies help in the taxes thread, I can write off my gambling losses? Or perhaps you can only write it off against (non existent) gains? Another reason to drink!</p>
<p>Congratulations, dadinator, what an incredible relief that have that worry off your son’s back!!</p>
<p>50 is young! Wait, what are we celebrating? <em>throws confetti</em> <em>insists on everyone drinking a shot</em> <em>pets marmots</em></p>
<p>So who is coming to the end of the world party?</p>
<p>Happy travels, documentary, birthday and congrats on the new job (nothing like getting your kid of the bank of mom and dad payroll!!). Yes, I miss those marmots!! I’m tossing greenies all over the place!!
I’ll have a creme de menthe :)</p>
<p>Waiting at my computer for a skype call from the small grandson in Israel. I might as well wait in the bar. ;)</p>
<p>Oh, and it’s freezing outside. I’ll have an Irish coffee. :)</p>
<p>My son’s friends are planning to await the end of the world by dancing to Prince’s Purple Rain at midnight, I think a backlash to the plan to listen to Imagine in Times Square. Personally, I think REM’s The End of the World as We Know it hits the spot.</p>
<p>congrats dadinator!!!</p>
<p>i vote REM also… but now left with barry manilow’s…“Looks like we made it”</p>
<p>Manilow’s “Looks like we made it” was my theme song for my own high school graduation a couple years back. :D</p>
<p>Looking forward (but not too soon!!!) to conversations with grandchildren, hope the call worked out mommusic.</p>
<p>Hot coffee, hot chocolate, hot toddy! Barkeep, something hot for my friends!</p>
<p>Breathing some life back into SA for my peeps and anyone who would like to par-tee. Wiping the dust bunnies out from under the tables and getting ready for a celebration. Drinks are on me!</p>
<p>I’m in. Did you find any marmots under the tables when you were cleaning up?</p>
<p>Thanks for cleaning up, jym! Now if I could just get a sweet tea and vodka … or no, make that a Mimosa, it’s 7:47 in the morning.</p>
