I thought it is on the 30th?

A very happy birthday no matter what day!

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ed!

You are right, Iris. It's Jan. 30th but we can start celebrating now because it's a BIG birthday.

Some people think that at a certain age one should stop celebrating birthdays. I think that at a certain age one should have more love, more laughter, more presents, more cake so one should have several birthdays to be able to fit all of that in! Happy Birthday Ed!

Happy Birthday Ed!!! Hope you have a wonderful day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU.......happy Birthday to yoooooouuuuuuuu..........

Happy early Birthday!! Have a Blessed day!!

Happy Birthday, OJ! Hope you enjoy a fun day!

Happy BDay, Ed!

My neighbor just celebrated his 75th and declared that he is going to start reversing the numbers when asked how old he is which now makes him 57. I guess that means you are 09 today!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Ed. Wishing you a year of health and productivity....

Birthday blessings to you!!

It's your birthday month! Happy happy birthday now and on the 30th. I celebrate for the entire month of my birthday as well.

Happy Birthday friend!

Happy Birthday Ed!

Have a great birthday!

All the best on your birthday and the year to come. Hope you have fun and good cheer.

Hope you are having a Happy Birthday. Here's to you having many more.

Thank you for all of your good wishes, everyone.

I think that I must have gone out for a late night walk a couple of weeks ago, fallen into a mudhole and had some of the mud squeeze into my brain before I did that accounting when someone referred to the upcoming celebration, even though I did the necessary upgrade later.

Iris and georgysmom you're right, the actual day is the 30th, a week from next Wed.

Dawn in Cal, I don't know how long your 75 year old friend who's reversing his numbers considers to be his time frame, but after a couple of more years, he'll be aging pretty fast! In that scenario, I'll soon move from 98 to 09 - the other day in a store I said to a mom whose 6 year or so kid was bouncing around that there's a suggestion that I'm nearing second childhood, and I wonder when I get there may I be bouncing around like that.

Happy upcoming birthday, OJ!

It’s never too early to start a celebration! Hope you have a wonderful day, and a very Happy Birthday!

Happy early Birthday Ed!!!! Keep well, and keep warm.

Happy belated birthday Ed!!!!!

Joyful, I missed the update in the other thread when you gave the wrong date. Hope your battery works in this cold weather.

Ava, after that no-start on the nearby road a couple of weeks ago, I wondered whether it should have more reserve power and asked my garage man about it.

He said that it should have had more reserve and that I need a new battery.

It wouldn't start one morning about ten days ago, I couldn't find my charger till later when I'd put on warmer clothes. It's worked fine since but the past couple of days the temp has been around 0 (18 below, Celsius), so I gave it a few hours trickle charge last night and a few hours again this evening. If it gets close to discharge in this cold weather, the weakened acid may well freeze, and split it. Not desirable.

I think that I've had this charger for about 40 years and doubt that I've used it more than a dozen/(two dozen?) times. Can't exactly accuse it of bring lazy, for it's been ready to work when called upon.

I've been wondering about giving some neighbours and friends my phone number, saying that if they lack roadside emergency service or an available boost, if their battery's low and there's an electric plug within a hundred feet, I may well be able to come give them a charge - or a boost: I got some mid-range jumper cables about the same time that I got the charger.

Sometimes I may have to beg off as being busy, but often not.

The signboard in front of the village church announced a gathering for information relating to medical marijuana on the evening of the 30th, so I figure that, at advanced age and possibly having to cope with medically related uncertainties, it'd be a good idea to work that into my plans.

Need to remember to tell my landlord about it, as he had broken arm and heavy shoulder problems following a major snowmobile accident hundreds of miles from home just under two years ago. Had to be evacuated by helicopter in thinly settled territory and after almost a week in hospital, by fixed-wing aircraft from rural Quebec to London, half way between Detroit and Buffalo/Toronto (on his tab). He's had his left arm in a sling from then till now ... plus ongoing pain. And he has a sodding business to run.

Had a note from suburban church to ask whether I'll be there Sunday, as they're planning a cake if so ... and I said that I've had one, already ... and lots of folks don't get any ... but they said that 90 is a big one, so needs celebrating. Who am I to argue (but, as you know ... I'm not above doing such, here)?
