Trav, I wanted to respond sooner to your heartfelt words. Very warm and thoughtful.
There are two typoes in your post. I have underscored them for your convenience.
Your sentiment brings up a little joke:
1st Person: "When's the last time you told someone that you love them?"
2nd Person: "Oh, let me think... why, just this morning."
1st Person: "Whooooa, there, clingy!"
Please proofread your posts carefully to see if you any words out.

Status : Offline | Nope, they're not typos. I simply don't see why the first person singular must be written in capital letters in the English language. In all other languages, it's the THIRD-person, if anything, that gets the capital letter treatment.
Plus, out of principle, i don't like shouting my self-ness out from the rooftops.
I am enough as is, without having to be As Is. Also, i am not a diety, so lowercase works just fine for me!

Wow. I've never known Penrod to ever offer up one of his dots - especially a bold one. 'tis a special birthday, indeed.
Sigh .Seemed like only yesterday I turned 50 (but it's been not yet a year).
Talking of which! *cough*cough* I did some underlining of my own, above...

That one has kept me up at night. I knew I should have fixed that or it would come back later to bite me on the keister.

Nonsense. I've been 50 for a while now. Splendid age. It's definitely growing on me. 
Of course, I have no idea what approaching 60 is like. We'd have to ask some of the others around here for that......

Why have so many of the smileys disappeared from the selection screen, i wonder?
