Everyone is cordially invited

[lovemydog]

to my birthday party today!

[bravenak]

1. Happy Birthday!!

[lovemydog]

2. Thank you!

My outspoken hilarious friend.

[bravenak]

3. You are much funnier. Seriously.

You crack me up.

[lovemydog]

4. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.:

I know you are but what am I?

[bravenak]

5. One of my favorite things.

[lovemydog]

6. Oh hell yeah.

And The Donald:

My friend, you will be rich. Then you'll build a wall. To keep you out. You'll pay me to build it. Make America great again.

[bravenak]

7. THAT!!! I say them out loud to my husband in Donald's voice.

Not tonight though cause my honey is a jerk right now, just like Donald. Rolling his eyes at me.... Only I can do the eye roll thing in here. He lost his mind.

[lovemydog]

8. I've been doing that with friends lately.

Someone said 'You should do that as a stand-up comedian.'

I said 'Do it yourself. It's really easy.'

[bravenak]

9. You're better at it.

[lovemydog]

10. Thanks.

I'm thinking of some other funny moments here. Oh, when a bunch of folks donned the 'Free Bravenak' avatar. That cracked me up. And some of your replies where I feel I know what you must be thinking, and then read your reply - sometimes I truly laugh out loud!

[bravenak]

11. If you knew how I said it first to myself?

You would diiieeeee!!! I have to tone it waaay down for this audience.

The free bravenak thing was HILARIOUS!!! At first I was just going to go with the censored sign, then I was like, hmmm, prison bars, that will be insane!

[lovemydog]

12. LOL!

Same. My stuff that turns out really polite, you should see what I write at first. You'd think I have Tourettes.

The prison bar thing was the bomb. Reminded me of Free Angela or Free Mumia.

[NanceGreggs]

28. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lovemydog]

48. Thank you Nance. You're one of the reasons I joined here.

I read for a couple years before joining. I loved your posts defending & supporting President Obama. He always had our back and we in return have always had his back. I felt compelled to start posting here partly to add to his support here.

[NanceGreggs]

60. Thank you so much for the kind words!

If I played any small part in bringing you here to support Obama, I am happy to have done so.

[Digital Puppy]

29. Happy Birthday to you!!!

[lovemydog]

49. Hey thanks Digital Puppy.

So glad you're posting here. Really enjoy hearing what you have to say - always.

[Half-Century Man]

30. Nice trip around the sun.

Enjoy many more.
Look up at the stars more often this trip.
Sit in the shade of trees and play catch with your dog at least 10 more times during this orbit. Those things work wonders.

[lovemydog]

50. That you 50 Cent.

Great advice. You rock.

[Chitown Kev]

31. Happy Birthday to you!

[yardwork]

33. Happy birthday!

[lovemydog]

53. Thank you yard work.

I've always thought 'Yard Work' would be a great song title for a song by Charlie Parker aka 'Yardbird.'

[Kind of Blue]

63. So glad you're having a good birthday!!!

I can't help myself being such a fanatic, so I went to get Flamenco Sketches to wish you a continuing peaceful weekend, but look what I found! The Kind of Blue documentary

It's in 3-parts. Posted the 1st just in case you're interested. It looks good.

[Number23]

38. Happy Birthday!!! To one of the loveliest, kindest, classiest DUers this place has ever had

posting here.

[lovemydog]

58. Okay N23 you brought a tear in my eye

because I love & respect you so much. Your posts always lift me up. Right where we belong, lol. You are the wind beneath my wings. Thank you so much. You're a great leader here in this group and on DU as a whole. So many great experiences to share and truly one of the best writers I've read anywhere. Sometimes your posts make me think far beyond a simple reply and other times they make me fall down laughing they're so damn funny. I will never forget the evening we shared making up MLK memes like 'In the words of MLK I'm going to see Jurassic World.' ROFLMAO. Thank you my friend!

[Number23]

87. You are such a sweetie pie

I can't tell you how much your kind, sweet words mean to me.

[emulatorloo]

39. Happy Birthday!!! You are one of my favorite posters on DU

Hope you had a great time today, and have a wonderful and exciting night!

[lovemydog]

59. Wow, thank you emulatorloo!

I had a very nice low key 'me time' kind of day. Read a lot of stuff about football and MMA. Couldn't bear to watch what was happening in Paris, the city of lights. It's been a wonderful night, a buddy took me out to a restaurant where we got nachos with beef and chile. There was sports on tv so it was nice relief from news. Thanks!

[pnwmom]

61. Hope you've had a wonderful birthday, lovemydog!

[lovemydog]

62. Thanks pnwmom!

Yes, it's been a relaxing day. I enjoy all your wonderful thoughtful posts. You always have a lot of great insights & information.

[pnwmom]

64. Thank you so much. And I very much appreciate your posts, too. Happy birthday, again! n/t

[betsuni]

65. Happy Birthday! Well, I guess I missed it, so ... Happy UnBirthday!

You are a great DUer, a thoughtful and kind person. Thank you.

[lovemydog]

69. Thank you bestuni.

I love your posts. I'm always interested in what you have to say and the way you say it. So glad to be part of the online community with you. Yes, birthday is over now and I'm glad I avoided too much news. Sometimes I feel all that news is so depressing. We should also be strengthening our bonds on friendship on our planet. I know you agree, and I want to do my best to keep adding to those bonds.

[1StrongBlackMan]

68. Happy Birthday LoveMyDog ...

I the words of MLK: "Let's Party!!!!!"

[lovemydog]

70. LOL! Thank you 1SB.

I started noticing your posts before I joined this group. They inspired me to start reading and interacting here. You often raise critical questions in a clear concise manner. With grace and wit. I know you have that positive effect on others around you. It's much appreciated. Let's party!

[MrScorpio]

71. Happy Belated Birthday!

[lovemydog]

74. Thank you MrScorpio!

I love your intelligence & wit. You bring so much to the table every time you post!

[Starry Messenger]

72. Happy belated birthday!

[lovemydog]

75. Thank you my friend.

The incomparable Starry Messenger. You're always sincere & a lot of fun! I love reading your observations & thoughts.

[gollygee]

73. I hope your birthday was great! n/t

[lovemydog]

76. Thank you golllygee!

Yeah, it was pretty good. I can't complain. I laid low, chilled at home. I've been enjoying that a lot more lately, with the colder weather outside. Grateful for friends & family and for online friends like you. I enjoy your posts and really do read them and learn a lot from them.

[Cha]

77. Sorry, I'm way late to your party, lovemydog! Wow.. Happy Birthday, sweetie!

What a sweet way to commemorate it!

The party is still going on, right.. it's not too late to wish you a Very Happy Birthday?!

New Mexico Sunset~ That's what I think of when I see your name.. that and comida Mexicana..

lovemydog~

[lovemydog]

78. Never too late my friend Cha!

Thank you for the warm birthday wishes! There's always a party up in here. So many welcoming, intelligent, fun people in this group.

Thanks so much for all your kindness over a long period of time here Cha. You were my first online 'friend' here at DU. Your humor and willingness to reply helped me feel comfortable posting. We've shared so many fun times here and in the Barack Obama group.

What a beautiful New Mexico sunset. We had one similar to that here last week. Orange, purple, blue and yellow sky. Every time I see it I'm grateful for the incredible beauty of nature. It's greater than any individual work of art and it's a landscape that changes the more you look at it. And of course whenever I see your posts I think of the beautiful Hawaii, an absolutely magical place of so much awesome beauty that words cannot sufficiently describe.

This song's for you my friend:

[Cha]

79. Beautiful piano player and his voice is magical!.. he left us way too soon.. it brings

tears to my eyes.. the lyrics are sooo beautiful.

Just what I needed right now.. and it's your party.

I haven't heard this in so long.. Now I'm in a puddle of tears.. it's beautiful~

I'm going to put it in my journal so I can remember to play it when I need to relax and enjoy the beauty of Donny Hathaway's soul music.

Life sure does change on a dime.. one minute you're goin' along and the next you're crying because the music is so beautiful. I know I keep saying that word.. lol

Well, nice lovemydog.. I can see why you wanted to celebrate it in the AA Group.. as you say: "So many welcoming, intelligent, fun people.."

Now I'm honored to hear I was your first online friend here.. that's what I like most about discussing politics and the ways of the world.. the friends I've met over the years. It would be no fun to just post and not have friends to share the good and the bad news with.

Hawaii is such a unique part of Mother Nature in our Country.. but, I've lived all over the US.. in the mountains, the desert, the plains, and the ocean in Cal.. and I miss them all.. except maybe the plains.

Mahalo for such an entertaining party!

[lovemydog]

80. Thanks for such a great post Cha.

Yes, music sometimes brings tears of joy to me too. My mom was a professional flutist and I got that from her. It's the universal language.

[Cha]

81. How wonderful your Mom was a professional flutist! Music is the unversical language~

I'm going to send this Donny Hathaway song to my son and his wife.. they are so much in love and I think they would love to hear this beautiful melody from the past.

[lovemydog]

82. Yes, I grew up with love of all types of music.

She was never a purist. She played classical (her first love), jazz, pop & rock. I share her joy for music as a form of therapy and universal communication. Your son and his wife will love this song. I don't know who the heck wouldn't!

[Jamaal510]

83. Happy belated b-day.

[lovemydog]

84. Hey Jamaal510, thank you.

You know that I really enjoy reading all your posts, going all the way back to the days when I heard you too enjoy sports. We also had some hilarious discussions about the 'hands up don't shoot stuff' where I'm sure we were laughing to keep from crying. Your insight and sharp wit are a great benefit to everyone here. Keep it up my friend!

For you. I have no idea what this is but it has 'Jamaal' in the name and it sounded pretty rad to me, lol:

[Cha]

85. Can I just drop this present right here?
