A friend is one to whom one pours the contents of one's heart,
Chaff and grain together,
Knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it,
Keep what is worth keeping
And with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

A ruddy drop of manly blood
The surging sea outweighs;
The world uncertain comes and goes,
The lover rooted stays.
I fancied he was fled,
And, after many a year,
Glowed unexhausted kindliness
Like daily sunrise there.
My careful heart was free again-
O friend, my bosom said,
Thrugh thee alone the sky is arched,
Through thee the rose is red,
All things through thee takes nobler form
And look beyond the earth,
The mill-round of our fate appears
A sun-path in thy worth.
Me too THy nOblessness has TaugHt
To master my despair;
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Now, Sam, I hope you enjoy listening to a medley of following pieces, some even with your name in the song or the singer's name, while you sit back with some German chocolate cake and your other favourite things.

Have a wonderful day and many happy returns, dear Friend!

Happy birthday, dear Thoth!!!!!!! And, many happy returns!
Funsun, thanks for posting this!
Thoth, Enjoy a fabulous [Fill in the blank since it should be your choice] on your birthday!
Rated for your vision of heaven.
Fusun, lovely post.
heh heh

"There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents." Thomas Jefferson. ************************************** The earth knows my step, the deaf hears my voice and the blind sees my words. My hope is to introduce civility, class--unrelated to money--and honor into American culture. I am the defender of the weak.
If that isn't enough to gag you, your gag reflex ain't working very good. Please read a comment of Thoth’s to someone in OS who dared to NOT kiss his ass on a rather disgusting post of his, so he followed her to her blog and said this:
What the fuck is that?
You are such an idiot.
Thoth
APRIL 06, 2009 12:54 AM
That comment was posted by Thoth on the blog of Sirenita Lake because she had the temerity to NOT kiss his ass in the manner he feels is his due. Not long after that time frame he learned to substitute his overt, revoltingly arrogant misogyny with an oleaginous fawning sort of *charm* which has apparently fooled a lot of people who either don't have very good memories or who missed the original incarnation of Thoth or who, perhaps, just don't care what a piece of shit he is because his transparent flattery "validates" them in one way or another.
Now, some might answer that I'm an asshole in my own right, and they'd be correct in doing so, but there's a critical difference between myself and Thoth; my OS persona is a fairly accurate representation of who I am and I've never tried to adjust that representation into something it's not, whereas Sam is a weasely little fuckstain who, once people began noticing what a prick he was, learned to hide his weaseliness belhind a facade of "This is a beautiful post, I found it very moving. Rated" comments.
So, anyway, blergh to this " I hope your birthday is as magical and exotic as you are" shit, blergh with a capital fucking G.

Fusun, these are wonderful birthday tributes you have presented today for both Thoth and Miguela!
You missed one favorite hit about a Sam though:
Muskrat Love by "The Captain and Tenille"
Muskrat Susie, Muskat Sam...
--r--
Thoth, you glorious specimen of male pulchritude, Happy Birthday! Be as good to yourself as you have been to us, my friend.
Lezlie
about this emerson fellow, and now i find that Thoth too
holds him in some esteem, tho Thoth himself may
be a dastardly character of evil intentions...?....
i kinda doubt it.
but anyway.
happy b-day thoth.
what i like about you, is
"The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair. "
nuff said. cuz i got no idea who he "used to" be.
when he blogged regularly.
You are so very thoughtful, and I am sure your friend appreciates that.
Happy birthday, Sam! I hope this day and the year to come are as wonderful as you are.
XOXOXO
James M.E. You sure incite a riot or two.
I am shushing . . .
I thought this (cc)
was about Sam
(cook) Kass
He's so nice
He cooks at:
White House
Invite Sam?
Sam Kass brews a honey based Amber Ale.
I hope Sam Kass No run for any president.
He may imagine a image of Self on a penny.

If Sam (cook) Kass loses a job I hope he do:
Buy FusanA a brand new ice cream PU truck.
I best not irk Sam Kass because a tease trough.
`
huh

I'm way behinds
Thee behinds do

I never say anything negative about another blogger, but I will now. This man has the sociopath's ability to look like what you want him to be. He learned that his real nature was not winning him friends, so he disguises it. It's not that he "used to be" someone else. It's that he's still that person but with a better front.
And, Fusun, another beautiful, beautiful post.
She's pure. See No see no Evil.
Beware . . .
I received a `Vulgar PM email.
Discern . . .
Kerry Lauerman befriended him.
Then - editor deleted the`Throth.
Beware . . .
Test the human spirit - Good/Evil:
`
I had a great Farm-Planting Day . . .
Troth . . .
I no respect . . .
Why should we?
He is deceptive?
He do deceives?
`
I sense the editor?
He 'ought' to tell?
He etc.,
He May be dangerous.
He PM's to lure, huh?
He EP's rot dung tooth.
`
smile . . .
`
I'll go see grandchildren.
Folk . . .
People sure do Provoke.
Why Project self's Bile?
What shallow narcism.

Sad/sigh . . .
"sigh"..
Birthdays, like any 'family' gathering, will gather all us disparate souls, & inevitably a few glasses will break.
I commend the tolerance you extend to nana & sirenita by not deleting their comments.
Like all the others gathered here, they do deserve to be heard ~ thank you.
(
@ChickenMaan, I hear that, too, but no, that was back before Thoth pretended to be someone else.
@seer, Thoth's need to strike at nana was done at my expense. I did not attack Fusun as Thoth attacked me on my birthday post to nana.
Ah well, for the most part this worked quite well Fusun :).
I am rereading my very facetious comment I left on that wonderful post FusunA wrote for you..
I was in a jolly mood, and, being ABSOLUTEY ignorant of any of the problems or attacks you have had in the past, wrote a light bit of banter…I was trying to poke fun at the idea of such a fine fellow & grand writer as you being a “dastardly evil” character. I find the idea uproariously idiotic, as I know you well.
(I keep myself consciously ignorant of a lot of unpleasantness by simply not reading nasty stuff. I learned this as a child of an alcoholic household. I also learned how to try to moderate. )
But ignorance is no excuse for me not coming to a buddy’s defense.
Please know how much your friendship means!
Jim,
On this special day it is best to try and remember…you’re not getting older, you’re slowly rotting away with class and grace.
Nor endless day without the healing dark
Nor brilliant sun without the restful shadow
Nor tides that never turn against your bark.
I wish you love, and strength, and faith, and wisdom
Goods, gold enough to help some needy one
I wish you songs, but also blessed silence,
And God's sweet peace when every day is done."
by Dorothy Nell McDonald
A poem I have loved for yrs. Happy birthday Sam.
Thank you, Fusun, for introducing me to a (new to me) OS writer.
We have not been in personal contact so far,but I want to tell you that I always appreciate your comments whereever I have a chance to read them.You seem to be one of the gentle persons on OS which I highly appreciate.
Thank you for getting to know you.
Heidi
