Congratulations,
Thank You Bob and Gene.

I just need to know how you survived 2.5 years without me...

"Oh lord its hard to be humble,
when your perfect in every way.
I cant wait to look in the mirror,
cause I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me,
I really am a swell man.
Oh Lord its hard to be humble,
But I'm doing the best that I can".

You are right Bill...we did last much to the chagrin of a few. But what is important is that we wouldn't have this "Birthday" if it were not for the members. It is they that make the forum what it is and made it stand up to be counted. So thank you to all of our great members and especially to our fine staff of moderators and also Peak Chick, our co-administrator.

WOW, three years...that's incredable!!! Thanks to Gene, Bob, Stephanie and the Moderators this has developed into a GREAT PLACE TO BE.I have made many imaginary friends here and some real ones too...LOL It's refreshing to have a Forum that is "kid safe".
