[name]Rica[/name], I haven’t seen you here in a while, and I hope you’ve been well. I miss you!!! (I just realized that I missed your birthday by a day, and I apologize. I’m out of town, and wrote down the wrong date because I’m a genius.) :slight_smile:

I hope you had a wonderful day, and I wish you a wonderful year! :slight_smile:

[name]Happy[/name] Birthday, [name]Erica[/name]!

For your special day, I am gifting you the following items:

A light purple bamboo throw! Eco-friendly and oh-so-soft! It’ll come in handy when you need to cuddle up on those chilly summer nights…

A copy of [name]Oscar[/name] Wilde’s incredible play, The Importance of Being [name]Earnest[/name]. A short and easy read, it is one of my favorite classics, and the names alone make it a worthwhile read! [name]Even[/name] if you’ve already read it, you should start a collection!

And, of course, in true [name]Lemon[/name] fashion, I must give you the gift of a strange pet. For you, Miss [name]Erica[/name], I’ve chosen a baby duck called [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Silas[/name] Duckling. [name]May[/name] you and [name]Theo[/name] be very happy together!

I hope you enjoy your big day!

[name]Happy[/name] Birthday, [name]Erica[/name]! [name]Lemon[/name]'s gift to you of a copy of [name]Oscar[/name] Wilde’s incredible play, The Importance of Being [name]Earnest[/name] (great pressie, [name]Lemon[/name]!) has inspired me!

When you’re done reading the play, you can then use the virtual ticket I’m giving you to go see the New [name]York[/name] stage production of [name]Timothy[/name] [name]Haskell[/name]'s The Kung Fu Importance of Being [name]Earnest[/name]:

“Two English gentlemen in the 1890s secretly use the name ‘[name]Earnest[/name]’ in their double lives… until they fall for English ladies who cherish honesty. They settle their differences according to the ancient methods of the Shaolin monks.”

It’s hilarious ” Wilde’s original words remain unaltered, but there is the addition of Kung Fu fighting! Wheee!

Oh, and I agree absolutely with [name]Lemon[/name] ” the names Wilde chose for his characters are wonderful: [name]Algernon[/name] ("[name]Algy[/name]"), [name]Augusta[/name], [name]Gwendolen[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Laetitia[/name].

Have a marvelous day!

Hello All! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and presents! I’m glad you have all remembered me! :slight_smile:

I used to spend my days on here while at work (tisk, tisk :wink: ) but then work changed their internet filters and I haven’t been able to access nameberry. It was a very sad day! Since I spend 8+ hours on the computer at work, I’m not on it at home very much at all. For some reason I tried to access nameberry here at work one more time and IT WORKED! :slight_smile: I don’t know if today is a fluke, but I was very, very thrilled to see this post. Thank you all so much! :slight_smile:

It’s [name]Rica[/name]!!! Woo-hoo!!! ((((HUG))) [name]How[/name]'ve you been? I missed you so much! I haven’t been posting very much lately, but I stopped by tonight to post another birthday greeting, and I saw that you posted! It’s so, so wonderful to see you! I was worried about you, and I’m so happy to hear that all is well.

Take care! :slight_smile:

I missed you and this site very much, as well!

I’m glad that I have seemed to find a way around the blockers, at least for a little while :slight_smile:

I’ve been very busy with some home remodelling, but otherwise I’ve been great. [name]How[/name] about you, [name]Jill[/name]? Have you made the switch on over to facebook? :slight_smile:
