Have a great birthday Miss Nap!
Happy Birthday Nancy
Here's my wish to you for continued happiness throughout the coming year.
Happy birthday again Nancy! Got you on Photos too!
Hope you've been having a great day, Nancy! And Happy Thanksgiving too!
Happy, Happy Birthday! - gee, do you get birthday cake today AND pumpkin pie tomorrow?
Happy Birthday Nancy!
You people are terrific. Do you all know that?? I may not be around much these days, but the Northeast Forum is still numero-uno in my book. The greatest folks in the Garden are right here in the NE Forum.
Al, you are making me jealous with all the photo-editing you've been playing with lately. When are you going to start us on a new series of threads? I really love the card on the Daily Pics thread Al. Seriously.
Speaking of photos, congratulations to Al and Victor and everyone else reading this who took honors in the photo contest! Truly excellent stuff!
Anybody remember that my husband made me a cake for my last birthday with a huge "LX" on top? That's Roman numerals for 60. So this year he made me this cake...
cute husband!
Nancy - Hope it's not too late to wish you a very Happy Birthday!! Eleanor
Not too late at all, Eleanor! I'm milking this one!
Pepplegoose, you know you're my favorite, don't you? I love your new digs! I hope you enjoy your turkey this Thanksgiving. I remember seeing a picture of the Zuzu kitties "at the table." Made me almost want to jump in and join them. Almost.
Zuzu...one of my first two DG friends.
Thanks for the birthday greetings!
Thanks Nancy, I am trying some of the new things in Elements 6 I have now. I think after Christmas would be a good time to restart the photo editing threads.
What a clever cake. He must also be thoughtful as well as clever. Can't wait to see next year's!
Actually, his first plan for this year was binary numbers. Maybe he's saving it til next year.
Very cool, Nancy! Clever Hubbie!!
You people have made my husband's day (and mine). I told him all your comments. He (and I) thank you.
Wow, what a picture! Thank you, Pirl.
awesome DL, pirl.
Kassia, that rose looks like silk! Beautiful!

A cake with binary numbers? That would be very creative and a large cake, too, would it not? Enough for all of us to share.
You can cheat by using 'Hex' numbers.
No, Candyce. My next birthday would look like this.
1 1 1 1 1 0
Victor, I don't get out much. I don't know what you mean. But it doesn't sound good.
62? Nancy, Hexadecimal is shorthand for binary. It was made so programmers did not have to write out all those 0's. It's base 16. So like binary can have only a 0 or 1 in each column, hex can have 0 - 9, then A, B, C, D, E and F. So you have a 1's column, a 16's column, a 32's column, etc.
62 would be 3E. (3 x 16 (48) for the first (16's) column. That leaves 14, which is represented by E, for the 1's column). When you turn 64, you will be 40!!
Aha! A friend once tried to explain something like this to me and I didn't get it. I don't remember if this is what he called it, but I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. Thanks for the explanation, Victor! I'll have to print this out and show it to my husband.
You're welcome. It's easier on the candles!
Sniff, sniff. I'm only allowed to have candles on my cake if it's served at the Fire Department.
He just walked in and I told him about it. I think he likes the idea.
Cute, Pirl. Think of all the cute Firemen though!
Such a pretty picture! Thank you, bebop. Missed you.
Ooooh, I am SOoooooooooo NOT a numbers person!! (And to think that my Mom was a math teacher!!!!) At least I inherited her love of plants! And my son is a math whiz......NOT Me. The mention of binary numbers and I freak!!
Nancy!!! Happy Belated Birthday!!!! I hope this year's celebration is the best so far. I am so pleased to consider you one of my DG friends!
Likewise, for sure, Anita! Thank you!
