It's a day early (Toronto time), but I just wanted to say
THANK YOU to
killerweasel for wishing me a Happy Birthday on her LJ,
lazy_8s for sending me those wonderful birthday balloons, and
karen9 for being generous enough to give me a one-year paid account on LJ! :-D I really appreciate the kindness all three of you have shown me! I'm touched and grateful for all of these pleasant surprises! Thanks again! :-D
