I want to thank everyone for visiting and leaving me suggestions to deal the Geek. Don't we all love a little practical joke? It really made me laugh to think of this poor man being pranked by the knitting world and so many geeky pranks too. I would had thought that someone would suggest knitting him some socks out of the itchiest wool known to man or something in glow-in the dark acrylic...but the keyboard and mouse tricks could be just the ticket.
I must point out though that any actions requiring touching his underthingies will best be left to his missus. I'll probably send her a link with all your suggestions... hehehehehe.
Some of you also noticed that it was my birthday recently.. .too true.. another year (gulp), bring on the Nice 'n Easy, I say ... I'm not quite ready yet to throw away my mini's and most certainly am not ready to flaunt my silver hair (I've been greying since I was about 13, but it's gotten so bad that I can't pluck them out faster than they are showing up!)
oh and the blog birthday drawing winner ... is Dr Judy. Congrats Dr Judy! I've sent you an email.
Happy belated birthday Polly. I've been greying since 18 or so too, if I plucked them I'd have no hair left!
Posted by: Mary at August 24, 2006 09:16 AMLyssie said I should have sent you a sheep for your birthday this year. I daren't think what James' reaction would be, I'm glad you got a sheepy birthday card at least.
21 again, isn't it wonderful. Belated happy returns.
Posted by: Louise at August 23, 2006 06:42 PMHappy Happy Happy Birthday. May there be much good sheepiness ahead for this year!
Posted by: Theresa at August 23, 2006 03:05 PMHappy Birthday Polly!
I regret teaching my partner to play the piano. The first time he noticed a grey hair on my head, he ran straight to the piano and played "The old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be."
Luckily I can laugh about it now! But there were tears then...
Happy Blated Birthday.
Just alway remember:
'It's mandatory to grow old, it's optional to grow up.'
A VERY Happy Belated Birthday to you Miss Polly!!!
You might have gray hairs, but you have no wrinkles!!!
and yes we love that card :)
Happy belated birthday! That card is soooo cute!
Posted by: Charity at August 22, 2006 03:55 PMHappy belated, Polly! I hope you will mark the occasion properly with some new yarn. ;-)

Posted by: Wendy at August 22, 2006 11:52 AMhappy belated birthday, dear polly, from another member of the silver hair brigade!
Posted by: kris at August 22, 2006 07:56 AMI love your sheepy birthday card, what a perfect pick for a knitter.
I've been going silver since I was about 15 too, but still feel extremely young at heart. Very few wrinkles, it is only the hair that ages. But a warning about pulling out the silver hairs, my favourite hairdresser always said that if you pull out one grey hair then twenty will grow in its place.
