Colin, Peter and Mel are all tempting! But when I see Geoffrey...

How are your tango lessons coming, Gi? Is Antonio up to step? ;-)

Happy Birthday Gi! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!

Am still trying to find that *perfect* matchup!! Might be getting close. What do you think? ;-D

But... you just can't beat these for all-time sexiness! ;-D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GI Celebrate the New Millennium on January 15,2000 A Trip for Two...... From all your Friends at Spring

WOW 'em at the Halloween party......

LOL, Karen! your above rear-view post reminded me of Rupe. I do not remember noticing that giant suppository on Max before. ;-)

I saw the way he looked at you in the lobby. You better stay far away... I may be shorter, but my nails are longer

What a handsome couple....love that pic, Karen.... The one with the "borrowed" tux!

Just a little bauble, we all chipped in to get you, Gi....

ROTFLOL, everyone. Karen, you're (as usual) *too much*. And Moon! I do not remember noticing that giant suppository on Max before. Wait until Gi sees 8-D !

Jana2 wanted to include my picture with my birthday message to my mom. Gee, I think I'm *much* cuter than this. Happy birthday, mommy! Thanks for taking me along on all your trips! Love, Patas

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! How cute!!!!! Now, where's the birthday girl? (I looked and looked, but couldn't find the Braveheart picture I wanted...it preceded one battle scene, hint hint, wink wink)

Dear Gi, What can I say that Mel, Max, Colin, Darcy, Geoffrey, Joe Prince, Livia, the tango dancers, frogs, Hawaiians, Patas, your Spring family et. al haven't already said? Here's something! Happy Birthday, Scorpio! I hope you're having a fantastic day!

and after a long hard day of partying, it's time for: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GI!!!!

Ladies, you are the most awesome in the whole world! Thank you very much. Wow! I'm really at a loss for words. You gave me all the presents I wanted and more... I wanted to be here before, but "real life" engagements wouldn't allow it... But I couldn't let the day end without saying all my thanks to you. :-)

Karen, I am LMAO at #1604! That angry kanga really does have a Road Warrior look about him :-)

Can you believe there's a dearth of kangaroos on the internet? Am so glad to have found that one. ;-D

No!!! Cannot be! Humph...did you do an altavista photo search? Next one I see I shall send to them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jana! I won't mention which birthday this is.

But it's getting to the time where we have to think of one of these -

- to see one of these - I think you get the picture.

At least we don't have to watch our weight. Here's a cake - I hope you like the taste of rose petals.

Happy Birthday Jana! Here is a little nymph I found for you. You are not getting older, you are getting better and better! ;-) Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Jana! I hope you have a great day! Here's something to keep on hand whenever you feel an ECC attack coming on: :-D

Time does not really pass... it turns over! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANA! And here's something to keep you company late at night: although maybe you will rather have this for company (hehehe):

Happy Birthday, Jana! And Gi.....sorry I�m late but I hope you had a *MAGNIFICENT* Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Jana - have a great day and eat lots of cake!!!! :) Heidi- that pic of Darcy is SO yummy! *slurp!*

Much happiness to the birthday girls, Gi and Jana!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANA

A little birdy told me that what you really wanted for your birthday was a vacation. So off you go.... to a nice secluded beach on a secluded island. Enjoy!!

JANA!!!!!

Just for our "Hollywood" gal:

How did you do that Karen? Brilliant! LOL! And that airplane!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANA

And, of course, A Lei from Hilo

Karen, you are too good at this! Wonderful!:-)

Jana, I found something else for you: Yes, it's the very speaker responsible for ODB's nose scratch...

Marcia, I cannot wait for your birthday to give you this for your conference:

And Karen, this one is for you:

Fabulous stuff, ladies, and two days in a row! That Hollywood Jane/Jana was a riot. Jana, I'll probably be in beddy-bye when you log in, so I'm afraid I'm going to blow the candles out now. Then again, you can always relight them. Happy Birthday, sweetie.

Karen...you must have taken a graduate course in this stuff.... the Darcy one is the winnah!!Thank you everybody...I have certainly enjoyed Jana and Gi's birthdays.But no food?...Not even a glass of bubbly? What an abstemious bunch:)D

Sorry for the commercial...ya' get what ya' pay for:-)

Oh my ladies, what spectacular birthday treats! You have really made this a special day. Thanks so much Heide, Moon, Eileen, Gi, Elena, Esbee, Lidya, Evelyn, Karen and Marcia. Wow! What a great group you are. Heide, I do appreciate the timely reminder that it's time for my optometrist check-up :-). Having the vision go is a bit depressing, but it will be worth the new specs if I get to look at that gorgeous man on a horse. My oh my, I do love that picture. Lots of thigh - 'nuff said. Moon, thanks for the lovely little nymph. If only I could remain so thin and sprightly, but she will give me something to shoot for. Will have to go easy on Heide's cake - can I share it with you all? I'll make sure you all get a rose on your piece :-). Eileen, I am LOL at the Purina kitties. This will definitely be a handy item when I feel compelled to spout my next ECC. And knowing me, it won't be long ;-). Thanks also for the formula-writing squirrel(?) I spend most of my day involved in such math-related activities, and come to think of it, am not shaped unlike that little creature. Did you raid our home movies for that one :-)? Gi and Evelyn have provided the necessary refreshments. Really, what more could a girl want than a snack of hot tea and Spam? And since Gi has kindly supplied the Darcy to cuddle up with, well let's just say my mouth is watering! And Karen, thanks for remembering how stressed I've been lately. I am posting from my laptop now at my secluded island retreat. Marcia's lei is around my neck, a glass of Evelyn's champagne is at my side, John, Paul George and Ringo are providing the entertainment (they borrowed DB's speaker for the occasion but I wouldn't let them touch the sacred corner that touched ODB), the pork is roasting on the spit.... I'm a happy girl. And Karen, the piece de resistance - I am LMAO! JA goes Hollywood. You are too clever. Jane looks so relaxed by the pool amidst the palms, ogling Mr. Darcy. Think Jane is going to call FD to the casting couch later to work on his lines ;-)? Think she'll share with a birthday girl who has been really, really good? As if!

Gi!! I'm going to have to put the little roo in my collection. :-D And, everybody, much as I would like to take credit for the Hollywood P&P image, I didn't do it.

IT'S REBECCA'S TH BIRTHDAY!!!

We're wishing you the best birthday ever!

Everybody and thing wants a little birthday cake!!

You're having a birthday, Rebecca, really slays me!!

When you can tell the difference between THIS... and THIS I just might let you come back!! ;-D

REBECCA Love, Aunt Karen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REBECCA Up, Up, and Away! Love, Auntie Evelyn

Why are there mice by all those cakes? Somebody call an exterminator!! :-o

Hi Rebecca!! Hope you have a really happy birthday. I'm not clever enough to post a picture for you, so I will just pass on some auntie advice. When you look at post #1652, choose bachelor #2! Love, Auntie Jana2

Happy birthday Rebecca.

Happy Birthday Rebecca! :) (do i get to be an auntie too?) Esbee

Oh, one thing, Rebecca said if you're all her aunties, where are the cards loaded with cash????? She really appreciated all your gestures yesterday. By the time we finally logged on she was so tired (we have VERY long days) that she wasn't up to responding. But I'll see if she can post something more elaborant tonight. Thank you. You made it a very special birthday for a very special girl.

(Laura)Oh, one thing, Rebecca said if you're all her aunties, where are the cards loaded with cash????? Not done in this part of the world. She should look for Chinese aunties for that.;-P

Great answer, Gi. I didn't get those envelopes either as a kid. LOL!! I remember getting for jr. high school graduation a half slip from some relative though. :-(

I haven't been able to get to Murph's site all day. Geocities won't respond. Are they down, or is it something I said? Anyone else having trouble?

No, haven't had any problems getting in. It does take a long time to load. Did you use this url? http://www.geocities.com/firthfan/index.html These others work as well: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/4144/index.html http://www.geocities.com/~murphyat65/index.html If you want to bypass the first page, change the last part to news2.html

This was in Entertainment Weekly. A Fan's Quotes The ''Being John Malkovich'' stars discuss the smaller perils of fame. Cameron Diaz, John Cusack, and John Malkovich explain what it's like to be constantly bugged by fans by Josh Wolk Sure, it seems like celebrities have it all, but after seeing ''Being John Malkovich,'' you might gain a little more sympathy for stars who can't shop for toilet paper without being slapped on the back and hounded for autographs. The surreal comedy is about a puppeteer (John Cusack) who discovers a portal into Malkovich's brain where anyone who enters can experience the celebrity's life for 15 minutes. In the film, Malkovich is constantly being approached by people who want to talk about his past roles, u ually ones he didn't actually do, a situation that reflects his real life. ''It doesn't matter whether you're trying to have a conversation, have a nervous breakdown, get divorced, or get married,'' says Malkovich, 45. ''They don't care. They just come up and say, 'You were great in that jewel thief movie!' But I wasn't in a jewel thief movie, I say. 'Sure you were!''' Of course, Malkovich has had 15 years in movies to get used to the loss of privacy. His costar, Cameron Diaz (who plays Cusack's unrecognizably frumpy wife), is relatively new to fame and is still adjusting to having fans. ''When it first starts happening to you, you can get really frantic about it,'' says Diaz, 27. ''But I'm fortunate that the people I have coming up to me are nice and want to say good things. But if I end up with a complete jerk, I have no problem saying, 'You're a complete jerk, get ou of my face.''' Usually any fan approaching does so out of respect for an actor's work. However, if a star is even slightly insecure, the most well-meaning comment can ruin his or her day. ''When a cab driver says, 'You were good in that one movie,' he's putting out something really positive,'' says costar Catherine Keener. ''But what you hear is, 'Jesus, and I was so bad in my other 50.''' But the biggest lesson celebrities learn is that once they make a popular movie, they'll hear about it for the rest of their careers. Take it from John Cusack, 33, who's still reliving 1985's ''Better Off Dead.'' ''I've been in a deep conversation with a woman, and a guy will come up and say, 'I really don't mean to bother you, I can see you're having a romantic dinner, but I just gotta say... I want my two dollars!' And they start feeding me these lines from movies I did when I was 17.'' This actually gives some actors incentive to make another hit, if for no other reason than to hear different lines parroted back. ''Now for a couple of years,'' says Malkovich, ''instead of people coming up and going, 'Hey, Cyrus the Virus!' [His ''Con Air'' character] they'll go, 'I loved you in the jewel thief movie!'''

stars who can't shop for toilet paper Hee hee! Or bin bags...or vacuum cleaners...they can't pick their nose by the window, either ;-)

they can't pick their nose by the window, either ;-) Hopefully, you don't do it either! Remember that Seinfeld in his car episode? ;-D

Poor John Malkovich... ....but he doesn't have to worry as far as I'm concerned...

Happy Birthday to Gi, Jana and Rebecca. Sorry I missed the festivities but my husbands surgery kept me away from my pc for a few days.

Lucie, I hope your husband is recovering well.

Thank you Gi. We were a little frightened for a while. He came through the surgery just fine but they gave him a shot of Morphine for pain when it was over and it made his heart stop. He gets better day by day. I hope you had a great birthday.

It's Go here for your trick Click Here and if you can figure it out, then you'll get a TREAT
