kcjenkins Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hey, TaxBilly, isn't this your official job, keeping up with Birthday wishes? :scratch_head: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Someone objected to the birthday salutes so I stopped posting them. But in the spirit of the holidays I might just take on the job again. :~) taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 We all have our specialties. Someone who gets up early can be the first to offer birthday greetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Well, I don't know who objected, and don't really care enough to bother searching for their gripe. I don't care if a dozen people object. As long as the title makes it clear what the post is about, no one needs to read them unless they want to. And as a true 'community', I see them as part of the social purpose of this board. Now, some few members don't care about the 'social' purpose, and that is fine, that does not hurt anyone. However, if their attitude is that no one else should get to share the social side of our community, just because they don't want to, that is wrong. We are a Community, not just a tax board. And I know that I, for one, have gained a lot from the social side. The prayers and kind words I got during last year were a tremendous help to me in getting through the days of not knowing if my husband was going to make it. And then the stress of trying to take care of him while also maintaining the entire client load almost entirely on my own. Some days I was so down, and then I'd go back and reread some of your prayers, and they gave me the strength to keep on keeping on. You will never know how much my friends here, most of whom I've never met, mean to me. Please, Bill, go back to posting those birthday greetings!

KC....your words have summed up the truest meaning of Community and Thanksgiving that I have seen in a long time. And on this holiest of holy days. (Someone will probably object to that also). The thought of your despair brings tears to my eyes and you can be assured that many of us will never stop being here for each other in whichever capacity we can contribute. Peace.....and we are so grateful that your trials took a turn for the better. My husband just had surgery in early December and all has gone well, but, "There, but for the grace of God..........!"

Mel in Hawaii Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Actually I did have a wonderful birthday... My boss at work bought everyone lunch, HR got me a cake and we all sat in the GM's office as they sung me Happy birthday. Hard to believe I am still the youngest guy in the office. Two and a half more days of work left and we are all done. I can't believe it, the 10 years have gone by so fast, but those 2 last years waiting for the end to come seemed to be the longest. If this wasn't a 'community' I doubt I would have been here that long as I only seem to get to help on the occasional computer question nowadays if I haven't missed a chance to answer it due to the time difference between the mainland and here.

kcjenkins Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Mel, we still greatly appreciate your input, and hope you will continue to be a member of this community. Especially since you are the best at explaining technical things in ways that we can usually actually understand. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
