I can't agree more; Subrosa! You are so important to us here at Chorrol (and always have been since back in 2009 Bethesda Official Forums) that we have to celebrate your being with us; and what better day to do it on then this one! I hope you have a wonderful day; and that only good things come to you for the year ahead!

** My gift to you was going to be no horrible poetry this year; but that would have been the same present you got last year = can't do that!

So here goes:
Happy Birthday SubRosa!!! Here is a cake that might tempt your Birthday palate, lol:

Your Birthday is here,
And once more I'm shopping
Like I do every year
For a gift so perfect it will bring your faint smile
A gift you will enjoy and love for a while.
What could you want? What could you need?
A Hoodie?

A Board Game?

Or maybe something bigger would please...
Your own Cafe or Bistro?

No, that just wouldn't do.
Something more cerebral for someone like you...
A Novel about you?

Or maybe just a Rose of dusky hue?

One thing is sure, from all these gifts;
That no matter how many or how great;
The greatest gift will always be the one you give to us:
You HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!! *
