Eliza ~ You can party in my classroom anytime! I promise not to make you write apology notes on the board. Thank you Eliza.

Booger ~ Some things do get better with age. Cheese, wine, women, scotch, women, women, and...oh wait, I said women. Thanks Booger.

Lixychick ~ spankings from the heart are so much better! Thank you dearly for the well wishes, and though it's supposed to be the thought that counts...the pudding wrestling would've been nice! Thanks Lixy.

Teddy Bear ~ Late birthday wishes only serve to prolong the celebration! Thank you for your thoughts, wishes and wisdom on the boards.

Belial and Bibi ~ Thank you for your comments and time. I am trying to stretch this birthday out as long as I can! I know there's some birthday sex somewhere out there...I just have to find it before that ship sails!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
