Happy 8th PF Anniversary to everyone's favourite Rival!

Over the years you have given us so much laughter
& the forum would not be the same without you.

Your patience with Rickeybird and your compassion for others
are legendary.
Your love for your lady stands out above all, though.

Thank you for allowing us all to be a part of that.
Even the Rb wants in on the action!

Sending all our love to you today, dear friend.
And a first aid kit. And wine. Lots of wine.

As the Grateful Dead said (yes, I'm old enough to have BEEN THERE)...
What a long strange trip...
I met a delightful redhead in 1984. I fell in love. By some miracle, so did she. Before the honeymoon was even over, I realized that I had a pigeon-size rival, now known as the Rickeybird. Good God, I wondered, , what is going ON? Fast-forward a few decades, a few jobs, a few houses,, etc. -------------------------
And here we are. This forum has been a place of great solace and humor for me. The Missus and I dn't argue (much) about the bird anymore ... a lot less, anyway.................. we just............... laugh. And move along.

Hey, parronting. It's a thing.

And a one, and a two and a three, and a..............

Hey there, Wrenchie, as the Missus calls you. You're a good bud in the midst of my --- errr--- situation. Anytime you care to trade Salty for the Rbird, well, I've got the UPS charge/busfare/whatever. Ahoy!

Eeek! A little late! Happy anniversary!

Thank you, most sincerely!

No no, Rival, I insist, thank YOU, and your good lady wife too. We often jest, but it's truly an honour and a privilege to be counted among your friends, and to share in the Rickeybird's life and times as well

Early and forever supporter, Big Brother! I can't take credit for your user name, you came up with it and I just talked you out of changing it
Love you much

They call him the Rival
He’s hoping for survival
And the wine vat’s arrival
Tonight

Or maybe the beer
Will augment the cheer
And alleviate the fear
Of the bite

He made the right call
In for the long haul
Amusing us all
Though we’ve heard

It must be a war zone
Pain in the …. ear-bone
Life with the devil’s own
RICKEYBIRD

Incredible. I shall add this to the Kentuckienne Anthology and resubmit forthwith.
