happy birthday from me

Posted by me | January 12, 2008 7:38 PM

Hi Ellen! Happy Birthday! I've been sung to before the Birthday song at a resturauant and everyone was looking at me. And later I found out my friend saw me when she told the next day at school! You're turning 50? I SERIOUSLY, I'm not joking, SERIOUSLY thought you were maybe 15 or 20 years younger! I love your show, like everyone else usually does say, but I like everything you put on. I remeber you giving a baby shirt to some random star (oh no, I FORGOT THE STAR'S NAME!) and it said "My mommy tried to beat up Ellen". So happy Birthday, but remember, it's not just a birthday, it's a holiday! I would be lying if I said Ellen is my favorite show, but it comes in 2nd to Avatar: The Last Airbender!!!!! I tell the truth!!!!!! I try to watch your show all the time!!!

Happy Birthday Ellen;

Being a gay 53 year old man from Wyoming, I must tell you that you make my life alot easier. we still have no protection in Wyoming but some how most of the people leave us alone.

My partner of 22 years and I have had many things done to us, but we just hope and prey that it will all come to an end some day.

Your show gives us hope that the public sees that all people have something to contribute to this world. that no matter who or what your beliefs are, you can learn some incredible things from some incredible people.

I will end by saying Thank You.

Happy Birthday Ellen, you are an incredible woman and an incredible humanbeing.

The Perks of Being Over 50 Years Old
For those of you who are 50 enjoy!! For those of you not quite 50, the best is yet to come!!!!

Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
No one expects you to run into a burning building.
People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
Things you buy now won't wear out.
You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.
You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.
You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
You sing along with elevator music.
Your eyes won't get much worse.
Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
You can't remember who sent you this list.

Best Wishes on your Birthday
Peeps
