Happy Birthday tomorrow to -SWS, one of the most altruistic, generous, empathic, and knowledgeable people on this board, and possibly the entire planet!

From one of his biggest fans (who has a poor memory and is afraid she'll forget to post this tomorrow!)!

I couldn't have said it any better, SU! -SWS became my hero here (and I'm sure many others can say the same).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, -SWS!

Enjoy the day, my friend!

-SWS,

Hippo Bird-day to Ewe!

And thanks for all the qualty, detailed, thoughtful, responses to many posters with odd-ball problems. You really are a jewel here. I've learned so much from you many posts---both the ones in reponse to posts of my own as well as others.

You've always been wise beyond your years, and you'll always be young at heart!
A great combination!

Hope your day is filled with all good things.

Thanks for the great birthday wishes laced with such wonderful.... hyperbole.

My wife and I both work today, so we celebrated this past weekend instead of today. I even scheduled a doctors appointment during lunch today. So the timing of your day-early wishes was spot on.
