	Messages 1 2  Fine Whine by pandab on 29 July 2006 3:43am   Sorry, folks, I just gotta whine. Let off some steam, if you will. Today is my birthday. And what a day it has been. First, I overslept and was 30 minutes late to work. Then I had hell's own day. To top it off, as I pulled out of the parking garage this evening, my car (faithful Blue Boy, an '89 Celebrity) gave a horrendous screech that vibrated the whole car and died. I managed to get it to the mechanics (by the grace of whatever god looking out for elderly vehicles) where it rests still. Now, I'm car-less, waiting for tomorrow morning to find out whether Blue Boy can be revived and, if so, how much it will cost. Happy @#$%& Birthday! Thank you for letting me grumble. Now, pass the cheese for my whine. :) Pandab   Re: Fine Whine by sighthound on 29 July 2006 3:52am   What a terrible birthday, pandab! I suggest you change your birth date for this year to August 28th so you can celebrate properly when things have settled down. Well, many happy returns, anyway.... Geraldine   Re: Fine Whine by perfectbitch on 29 July 2006 9:42am   Don't blame you for having a bloody good whine - what a horrid day. All good birthday wishes to you. Linz   Re: Fine Whine by Spursfan on 29 July 2006 11:10am   Happy birthday, Pandab   Re: Fine Whine by andrea_nyc on 29 July 2006 5:56pm   Sometimes the worst birthdays become the most memorable ones and you'll laugh at them years later. Happy Birthday. :)   Re: Fine Whine by arty_farty on 29 July 2006 8:42pm   happy birthday. 'things will always get better..'   Re: Fine Whine by Marcelle_Rio_de_Janeiro on 29 July 2006 9:18pm   Celebrate it today, to make up for yesterday. Happy Bday, Pandab.   Re: Fine Whine by Ahren on 29 July 2006 11:04pm   Happy boythday!!   Re: Fine Whine by suzulu on 29 July 2006 11:13pm   Happy Birthday, Pandab! But what a day you've had. Things can only get better!   Re: Fine Whine by canaveralgumby on 30 July 2006 2:46am   Oh, man! Are you sure you weren't on your period, too? That would have made it PERFECT! Well, Happy Birthday, panda. You get to have a raincheck, any day you feel like trying the birthday celebration again. We'll be here!   Messages 1 2
