Many Happy Returns

[rj_anderson]

What exactly does that mean, anyway? The "returns" thing? Never quite got that. But in any case, I would like to wish a large sparkly "Happy Birthday" to three of my favorite people:

shoebox2, whose snarky wit is paired with generous good nature, and who also possesses a remarkably shrewd critical eye;

lizbee, a dear and loyal friend and savvy bookseller/

Ohhhhh so you're wishing that the good DAY would return and keep returning! That makes much more sense. I was thinking of "returns" in the sense of "something given back to you by someone else".

I learned the full version from Winnie-ther-Pooh.

Thank you, my dear!

Thank you! I share my birthday with so many awesome people!

Already explained, I see - but it simply means "May you have many more birthdays, and may they all be as happy as this one."

Thank you so much! What a lovely tribute...and it sparkles! *sighs in perfect contentment*
