>>>>>>>>>>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.

As opposed to being considered a perv because 'you like Brownies!'
