Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~Mark Twain
~Happy Happy Happy Birthday, to my amazing/inspirational/mature(ish)/well-seasoned brother-in-law, the veryvery brilliant and veryvery dear (and oh-so-cute) Dr./Mr. Bill (ooh nooooo!)! A man with lovely wrinkles in all the right places. Know how much you are loved/adored/treasured and admired ~ and how grateful I am for your guidance, love, humor and support over the years. My sistie is a lucky woman, but you know what? So am I. Because having you in my life has been nothing short of an honor and a joy. I lovelovelove YOU, Billy, I reallyreally do!~
Happy Birthday Dr. Bill! We love you!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bill. You must be a heck of a guy to get that kind of wish from Neva.
OK, I'm gonna go rinse.

He is FO SHO hermanito! I am honored to know quite a few tidbits about Dr/Mr Bill as well as about Neva's sistie and I can say that, from what I have heard, he is an awe inspiring man indeed and one with such inner strength that makes bohemians everywhere wonder if they can even begin to aspire to reach the heights of the hombre's strength for he makes this bohemian look like a total wuss and that, well, sucks! *sigh* Oh well! ;-)
Dearest Neva, the words are beautiful, your sentiments and emotions true gifts and I am sure the feeling is reciprocal for anyone who knows you cannot help but LOOOOOVE you DAS FO SHO! Happy, happy indeed Dr/Mr Bill and WAHEY! A Piscean being? WOOOOHOOOOO! No wonder thou art cool!
He, he, hee! ;-P

Happy Birthday, Mr./Dr. Bill.
In my case, wrinkles indicate where my clothes have been.

Don't know jack about Dr. Bill, but, if he's got cake, I'll wish him a happy birthday!
Wrinkles? Get an iron!

That's a very nice tribute to Dr./Mr. Bill. He sounds like a great person.
And yes, I'll admit I have my share of those (smile) wrinkles. Eek.

Neva, what a wonderful tribute to your B-I-L
Smile lines are supposed to be a mark of true beauty

Happy Birthday to a wonderful Brotehr -in-law. I thought they didn´t exist until now ;)

Honey: don't think i don't know that one of the reasons you married me was to have Bill for a "brother" (since you're both only children, i suppose it made sense). we lovelovelove him all right! xox
Cindra: thank you -- Billy's got a grand smile and he's not afraid to use it! xox
Doug: trust me, you would adore this man. he's brilliant, funny, wise, and, as an exceptional therapist, i believe he might even be able to help you out with some of those "curmudgeonly" issues you've managed to saddle yourself with over the years. xox
Miz B: you would SO go crazy for this man, FO SHO! (he's stalk-worthy, as evidenced by the number of female students who used to regularly camp outside his office on any given semester) trust me -- his psych classes were the most fun (and enlightening) i had in college. he's remarkable, and worthy of much praise and adoration! that said, it never occurred to me until rightthisminute that the fact that he's a Pices had anything to do with it, but i believe you may be right!! BESOS amiga!! and manymany hugs, too! xox
Diesel: you wear them well. xox
TLP: iron? we don't need no stinking iron! xox
Al: thanks, Al. xox
Schnoodlepooh: he is an amazing/inspiring/wonderful person. as for those wrinkles? hah. one look at my face and it should be clear to anyone that i've done a GREAT DEAL of smiling in my life, too! xox
Pia: honestly, i think that's true. or maybe i just hope that's true, since i sport more than a few, myself. sigh. xox
My Sistie: i'm so glad you saw this! and i know you'll believe me when i tell you it could have been SO much longer, had i the words to properly express my love/admiration/gratitude to our cute little Billy, for the man he is -- and always has been, for as long as i've been lucky enough to know him. i lovelovelove your honey SO SO SO SO much! (he's the only one who would ever have been good enough for my baby sis, i'll tell ya that!) and i LOVELOVELOVE you, too!! (i miss you... here's hoping i can make it out there to see you both, SOON!) xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Minka: trust me, Bill's one in a bazillion -- to know him is to absolutely adore/admire him. xox

A very belated happy birthday to Dr./Mr. Bill, who sounds a bit like Dr. Weirsdo.
Who's the dog?
