>>>>>>>>>Hi everybody,
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>I have a 10th anniversary today with the site. I can not measure how much did I learn from using it that long and being around such great minds as we had here: Ed Rauh, George Tasker, Larry Miller, Vlad G, Alexander Golovlev and many many others.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>I tried to stop using this site in last 2 years couple of times and I always returned back... It's an addiction for me that it's almost impossible to break.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Anyway, to all the great members here - cheers! :)
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary. I think now you're supposed to buy us all presents.

>>>>>>>Somehow I was under the impression it's the other way around :)
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Oh. Well, if that's how it works, then, forget I mentioned it. ;)
>>>>>
>>>>>Actually, for birthdays it's traditional for the person to bring in their own treats (at least where I've worked). Seems pretty backwards.
>>>>>
>>>>>Naomi, I like brownies.
>>>>
>>>>Hmmm. In the UK Brownies are young girl guides, ie the girl equiv of cub scouts to boy scouts.
>>>
>>>Here they're junior Girl Scouts, the American version of Girl Guides. And when chopped finely and added to chocolate, flour and milk make a dang fine snack!
>>
>>We do have girl scouts now, as well as the guides. Guides wear a blue, flight attendant-like uniform and brownies, (as in pixies), wear a brown and gold uniform.
>>
>>So people don't get the wrong idea we'd say "I like chocolate brownies" :-)

>What's surprising is that there is a need to specify the chocolate part...

Or that it makes it better :-| it is so hard to be PC these days.
