Usually the phrase, “Greetings Earthlings,” is followed by something along the lines of, “we come in peace.” Should the absence of these words be cause for panic of concern here in the blogoshpere?
I will raise the white flag and proclaim to you, oh Anti-Blogger of the … (what world do you hail from anyway?) … Welcome!
Fuggarugga! What in the world? I leave town for 3 days…and this happens. I just, I just….don’t know what to say other than that I am totally amused and curious to see what the antibloggers bring. Grit and glory is not the only one that is guilty of the clickety clack of the keyboard anymore. Tell the truth, how long do you keep her up last night with your key clicking? Also, I think it’s fantastic that this site was available.
We (of the open-minded, non-Anti sort … wait) welcome you to blogland. I have posted some helpful tips for you on Grit’s site (I’m pretty sure she’s tickled pink – that you’re on blogland now, not that I posted helpful tips).
PS: taking over the world is fine. Just don’t take our computers away from us. ;)
it is amazing how much time all you all have to coment to nothing…everyone has something to say about absolutely nothing…
conspiring is 80% of of plan . to many rush into a plan with out thinking…
anne… puppy idea is good… i am all about contesting ….
ok so i am about to step onto blog space and anti blof some blogs… it is going to be grand..
mark .. this is not a freakin diner ,,,it is a blog …hallo
I have been informed of a contest being held between you and Mrs. Anti-Blogger. This comment is to even out the fact that I left a comment over there on the grit.
I think that you both should get a dog – both male dogs.
Vote for Niel. Big Dog boy or girl i guess it doesnt matter. i prerfer girl but its your dog not mine. i like the idea of one who may roam your land and you can toss her/him in the back of a bakkie. (did i spell (buckey) right?)
I’m all for a big dog.. not too big, but not a pipsqueek of a dog either. We have an Australian Shepherd & love her.. if you got one, it would rule your property. It would definitely be heaven on earth for that type of breed.
Having a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog – same, or different animal?) living next door to me in suburbia however, i add the following caution for your enlightenment/consideration.
Sheep Dogs and cattle dogs were born to WORK – they are incredibly smart and need an owner who is both smarter than they are and willing and able to put the time into training and maintaining them – or they can go out of their tiny little doggy minds with boredom.
If you have livestock on your property and want a friend who can run all day long and help you handle them, by all means go for the working dog breeds. If not just cave into Alece and go with the mid-sized dog.
I think the comment stats have spoken!
You did not think you could get away with bringing the conversation up in leadersgroup meetings and the like and WIN – did you AB?
We have poodles and I don’t like them…they can do a few tricks, but really, they are POODLES!!!….I wanted a BIG Dog, but my wife convinced me to get the poodles for the circus….So, I vote BIG DOG!! Hope you win, AB.
i do not tolerate negativity on this blog. if you cant be possitive about my big male dog then go blog about sissy dogs on grit and glory… there is no glory in small female dogs, just gritt..hahah .. get it …
leah.. unfortunately i cant have anything australian as it goes against my culture..
danielle .. thanks for the suggestion of name for my dog…cant wait to stand on my portch and shout fuggarugga
watch this space for a special blogger leaving comments soon..
We’ve been having this conversation in the office all week, and no one knew we had to come here to vote. We were just voting big vs small on Alece’s, but now we know so watch out. BIG DOG!
sorry, I’m already getting bored of doing this, so I need to stop now. I really don’t see how people have patience to write like 20 comments all in a row. Good luck with the Big Dog!
i might have to rethink my vote…i inititally voted with mrs. anti-b but now that i’ve thought it through, i don’t like dogs, so i’d rather fuggarugga be outside when we come visit you. :)
Woof, woof, woof…hello beautiful…woof, woof, woof…that’s a good boy…woof, woof, woof…perch, would you like to hear that all day long. I didn’t think so; BIG dog, outside.
Starbucks (the bird, not coffee) - May 9, 2008 at 5:55 am
askis..Mr. Niel? Solie here. I heer we R voting on a hond. Inyani or aholo. big or small. I’s voting for a bigger pup. the little wons are too small and I fear the bakkie may run it over. Pleese, Pastor Niel, get a bigg dog.
Starbucks…..did you see what they are writing about you over on your momma’s blog?!? I can now say that I know you well enough to know that you will not put up with that!!!
When the party was nice, the party was jumpin’ (Hey, Yippie, Yi, Yo)
And everybody havin’ a ball (Hah, ho, Yippie Yi Yo)
I tell the fellas “start the name callin’” (Yippie Yi Yo)
And the girls report to the call
The poor dog show down
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

You’re discouraging a group of missionaries over here. We have some seriously large disadvantages being over here with sloooow internet and the early hour of the morning that it is. We’ve rallied together for the sake of our fearless leader and now we see that you’ve come in with your early hour and fast internet…
Maybe you should consider conceding for the sake of the Thrive Family.
It does matter. Because we still kicked your hindparts. And I only had four hours sleep yesterday. And if Niel got a big, cool. But Alece STILL gets her puppy! So there.
Alece- we love you, but you know…we actually never thought you wanted a dog at all…whereas we have been brainwashed about a big puppy my Mr. AB forever now…sermons, staff meetings, casual gatherings…AND you have quite the blog following- so…we couldn’t help it! :)
Danielle (not Daniel – if you are Daniel look away now!)
The deal is he’s the ANTI-blogger – we are not.
Hence his comments will only grow ever more massive until eventually they become bigger than the blogsphere and blogging as we know it will come to an end.
updates Niel? or is this just part of the anti blogging. you should really show em up by blogging anyway. that would show someone something. i don’t know whom or what, but oh never mind i have myself very confused indeed.
Happy Birthday Neil……Wow, ur wife is amazing….please get home soon and uh, take care of bidness… eh? Poor girls gone mad!!! LOL Pray the Lord is blessing your socks off….
This I found on an obscure website so I hope it says what I want it to say and not something offensive so as to stir the wrath of the birthday boy… :-) …
Happy Birthday Niel!!! I just love your woman to pieces! I’m sending her something for your birthday that I think you will THOROUGHLY enjoy! It will rock your world!!
this stegall is wishing you a happy birthday! Many happies to you with birthday butterflies and hallmark hugs wrapped in marshmallow fluffiness to you!!! [all b/c i think your wife stinkin rocks my socks!]
well, everything but the “closer to the end of my life” part. you’re lookin’ at the glass half-empty, hombre. it’s more like “closer to getting old and wrinkly with my equally old and wrinkly–but still beautiful–wife.” there. that’s much better.
You’re a man of integrity. What you say and what you do match up. You speak well of your wife, you’re one of the most crafty and optimistic people I’ve ever met. You dream big. Thanks for teaching us for a whole year how to dream big, how to live lives of integrity, and how to get the most out of the time we have.
Happy Birthday.
it’s all downhill from here!
i think that i the wrld has ended as we know it. welcome to the future
that last comment was from me. grrrrrrr saved login.
i should really be asleep right now. shhhh don’t tell danielle
i should be asleep as well but now i have to stay up late and save the world from bloggers
So the anti-blogger is a hero?
A super hero?
do you have anything to eat here?
Ridding the world of bloggers, eh?
Good luck.
Wow… I never thought I would see the day…
and I can’t wait for more :)
Oh, my….. I will say that the coffee cup is oh so appropriate for the header, antiblogger!
Usually the phrase, “Greetings Earthlings,” is followed by something along the lines of, “we come in peace.” Should the absence of these words be cause for panic of concern here in the blogoshpere?
I will raise the white flag and proclaim to you, oh Anti-Blogger of the … (what world do you hail from anyway?) … Welcome!
(this makes me very excited.)
thas amy joy not amy joh.
my bad.
remember when i would use your computer in your chair in your office? you never know what i did… better watch out. ;)
good to see you on the interweb.
oh, and i totally agree with @ngie. i feel as if i should be frightened that there is no offer of peace. ruh-roh.
Anti blogger. Im so happy to see you.. err your site. its being added to my favorites.
Fuggarugga! What in the world? I leave town for 3 days…and this happens. I just, I just….don’t know what to say other than that I am totally amused and curious to see what the antibloggers bring. Grit and glory is not the only one that is guilty of the clickety clack of the keyboard anymore. Tell the truth, how long do you keep her up last night with your key clicking? Also, I think it’s fantastic that this site was available.
We (of the open-minded, non-Anti sort … wait) welcome you to blogland. I have posted some helpful tips for you on Grit’s site (I’m pretty sure she’s tickled pink – that you’re on blogland now, not that I posted helpful tips).
PS: taking over the world is fine. Just don’t take our computers away from us. ;)
I believe you will find the Anti-blogger is more of an Anti-superhero than a superhero!
one with delusions of world domination!
i can feel my knees trembling as i type.
Clearly he is often too busy to blog, busy plotting presumably, and quietly observing….
over a cup of coffee :-)
<B
By the way, it’s not everyone who can get 20 comments right out of the gate. And with a two word post. You could use this …
Pardon. I was apparently thinking of the post title. I should say two sentence post.
You could have a contest with Grit.
Whomever gets the highest comments gets a puppy.
…
(sorry, I had to. You know that, right?)
it is amazing how much time all you all have to coment to nothing…everyone has something to say about absolutely nothing…
conspiring is 80% of of plan . to many rush into a plan with out thinking…
anne… puppy idea is good… i am all about contesting ….
ok so i am about to step onto blog space and anti blof some blogs… it is going to be grand..
mark .. this is not a freakin diner ,,,it is a blog …hallo
i think grit would win the contest – we’re all her friends, anyway.
thanks for commenting anti-blogger. i laughed and laughed when i saw you’d been visiting my blog.
:)
Mr. Anti-Blogger,
I have been informed of a contest being held between you and Mrs. Anti-Blogger. This comment is to even out the fact that I left a comment over there on the grit.
I think that you both should get a dog – both male dogs.
So, hope you (both) win. :-)
I think you both should get the dog of your dreams. Life is too short not to have the puppy that you want.
Vote for Niel. Big Dog boy or girl i guess it doesnt matter. i prerfer girl but its your dog not mine. i like the idea of one who may roam your land and you can toss her/him in the back of a bakkie. (did i spell (buckey) right?)
go get your big dog. name him something super manly like anit-rover, anti-spot, or anti-small dog.
ha! ^^ so amused.
the polls on the grit are showing that big dogs are the preferred companion… interesting
I’m all for a big dog.. not too big, but not a pipsqueek of a dog either. We have an Australian Shepherd & love her.. if you got one, it would rule your property. It would definitely be heaven on earth for that type of breed.
Leah Clearly has great taste in dogs.
Having a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog – same, or different animal?) living next door to me in suburbia however, i add the following caution for your enlightenment/consideration.
Sheep Dogs and cattle dogs were born to WORK – they are incredibly smart and need an owner who is both smarter than they are and willing and able to put the time into training and maintaining them – or they can go out of their tiny little doggy minds with boredom.

I think the comment stats have spoken!
You did not think you could get away with bringing the conversation up in leadersgroup meetings and the like and WIN – did you AB?
:-)
I vote no for a big dog.
But Blue Healers rock the house.
becca just likes the color blue. hehe.
even her quilt patch whatever picture for her comment is blue. how did that work?
Okay, so I feel tricked…..
I left a comment on Alece’s blog for a BIG DOG….I didn’t understand that I had to leave a message here…
and YOU KNOW how slow the internet is here…
so ….here I am trying to catch up….putting more enteries on the blog to vote for the HE-Dog…
and looking for friends to help so that HE-Dog wins before Friday (or Saturday here in South Africa)…..
Big Dog
We vote Big Dog….do we count more because we are a herd?
We have poodles and I don’t like them…they can do a few tricks, but really, they are POODLES!!!….I wanted a BIG Dog, but my wife convinced me to get the poodles for the circus….So, I vote BIG DOG!! Hope you win, AB.
Big
Dog
cheaters never prosper.
i do not tolerate negativity on this blog. if you cant be possitive about my big male dog then go blog about sissy dogs on grit and glory… there is no glory in small female dogs, just gritt..hahah .. get it …
leah.. unfortunately i cant have anything australian as it goes against my culture..
danielle .. thanks for the suggestion of name for my dog…cant wait to stand on my portch and shout fuggarugga
watch this space for a special blogger leaving comments soon..
You’re just sour ‘cos we can beat you at Cricket and Rugby! ;-)
Ok – maybe only at cricket :-)
<B
We’ve been having this conversation in the office all week, and no one knew we had to come here to vote. We were just voting big vs small on Alece’s, but now we know so watch out. BIG DOG!
and the contest cannot end early, thats specifically against all contest code of conducts
and our internet is a billion times slower so that should count as 2 votes for every comment for us
over here in Africa…
sorry, I’m already getting bored of doing this, so I need to stop now. I really don’t see how people have patience to write like 20 comments all in a row. Good luck with the Big Dog!
Cheating? Whose Cheating? We should count all of the comments for Big Dogs on Grit and Glory to make sure there is no cheating going on…..
if it is just volume…then why not make it interesting volume! :)

Woof, woof, woof…hello beautiful…woof, woof, woof…that’s a good boy…woof, woof, woof…perch, would you like to hear that all day long. I didn’t think so; BIG dog, outside.

we’re voting for a BIG DOG
oh
ok
So,what do you think intern#6? big dog or medium size dog?
hmmm…
Bigger is better, i always say
that’s the spirit!
way to go!
woohoo!
we love intern 6!
yay! we vote big!!
yay! we vote niel!
we’ll add it to the prayer board
“Dog”- Scheww….(giggle)….
are you kidding?
put it outside, one cage is enough to clean…(giggles again and shakes head)…
I love that the interns are all numbered now!
Brilliant
no names, or identifications….just numbers!
like faceless people running around the property
but numbered, of course!
all we have to say is…”hey 3! come here.”
or….”7! What do you think you’re doing?”
Maybe they should be tatooed until we get the numbers down…..
even though that does seem a bit “cattle-ish”, but hey! They were the ones that came up with the system in the first place.
ok, I’m now wasting my lunch on this nonsense….
tchau 4 now!
Voetsek (footsack) little dog!!
I am so not sharing my house with a little yappy dog
or even a medium sized dog
i’ve got the ’small-pet’ market cornered.
Ok so this might not be the most brilliant bet I have heard but good luck
Betting 101 don’t put big items on the line with sketchy bets
Are you out of practice with your betting skills?!??!
On a scale of 1 to 2 how do you feel about big dogs?
BIG DOGS are definitely a 2.5 on that scale
Betting 208: bet only when you can win
GO
Big
Dog-ness
But none the least I vote big he-dog!
ha actually the saying goes none the less
just another excuse for more comments
Good luck on the bet, Go Big dog, Go!
doesn’t the name speak for itself??
come on – big dog!! BIGGGGGGGGG DOGGGGGGGGGG
Betting Queen – I’ll take you on the big dog bet – big dog will WIN!!!!
BIG DOG! BIG DOG!! BIG DOG!!!
My vote??? BIG DOG of course!!!
Oh…if you get a dog…bring it into the FISH BOWL……
and if it is RED…I will Attack!
I am a fiesty one!
I’m not sure what I think anymore.
Other than I’m amused that Joyce and your bird chimed in for this vote….
Aren’t BIG dogs suppose to lick your wounds and help you heal?
i have one on my index finger
I think BIG dog (or little/medium dog for that matter) spit/saliva on my wound sounds kinda gross
but people keep telling me that it heals faster….and perhaps even better??
either way, I vote for a BIG dog.
One last vote for Big Dog, before I head out for the weekend!!! Good Luck AB!
oh no, we’ve lost char!
it’s okay, we’ll still make it
i mean,we’re already at comment #177 or something like that
would big dog eat me?
oh, look at that! it was actually comment #177!
no he would be nice, I’m sure
i do have to say that, Niel, you’ve got some seriously devoted BIG DOG fans
or I hope so
i mean, Alece has been workin on her blog network for sometime now and somehow us BIG DOG under dogs are gaining!
actually Big dog would just stay in the back of Niel’s bakkie, right?
just in case…
maybe I shouldn’t vote either way
pretty impressive!
hey, I’m talking to you on MSN right now
weird
oh,yeah i forgot to tell you something…

ps. I would watch out…he has a mean bite!
Starbucks is a fighter!!!!! He will prevail!
200 comments!!! YEAH!
um…big dogs pee on things like me. but the bright side is that then they aren’t peeing on your couch.
plus, I’m a lawn nomb so i’m use to it
plus, I’m a lawn nomb so i’m use to it
oh…i guess that’s actually Lawn Nome
I didn’t go to Lawn Nome high school
I got my lawn nome GED

anyway, I thank you, Mr. Anti-Blogger. If it weren’t for you I’d go on for years misspelling my own name

That’s ‘Thank you’ in Albanian, you those of you who didn’t know

“Eskerrik asko!” – Basque Country (between France and Spain)
Vinaka – Fijian
“Mahalo” – Hawaiian

So, I didn’t get my GED BUT I can say thank you in 13 languages!
um…It appears that the average time that it takes to comment from here is 2.09 minutes. That is just SAD!
Dear Sirs and Madams,
I would like to point out that 22 of Alece’s comments are actually for a BIG DOG and as such, should be counted for the BIG DOG petition.
Amen.
Obrigada: portuguese
Shalom: Hebrew
Big He Dog would have to be my vote
What should we name the big dog?
well hopefully it won’t look like a village dog…
danke: also, German
Merci: French
but if it resembles an african dog it would have to be named sam dog
Grazi: Italian
Origato: Japanese
Sam dog is an interesting choice
Must love [BIG] dogs
so, this big dog…what breed are we looking at?
although i agree Voetsek would be an awesome name of a pup
ohhhh, Voetsek. That is lovely!
Big Doggie!
Big Doggie = Big Doggie Bisquits
I hear I have to vote for a BIG dog, so me and Free roaming waterbok #1 can have a little “big” buddy
BIG DOG, I want a BIG DOG!
i suggest the outdoor dog
Me and the BIG DOG can go on top of Mooihok!
i believe that the indoor dog would bark every time we are making noise
can you imagine?
Yes, then the annoying pigeons on roof will have something else to bug!
Thats why we need a big dog….no more pigeons!!!!!
outside animals (aka the BIG DOG) have all the fun!!
That BIG DOG won’t scare me off, we’d rule the world!! Ruin the pigeons and all!
Imagine how many new friends the outside (BIG) dog would gain…
zebras….
waterbok…..
horses…
maybe the big dog will chase us?
blesbok….
pigs….
rut-row
ostridge….(if they can be found)
I can say I want it to be a BIG Brown Dog?
the possibilities are endless!
YEAH! Big dog can hunt and kill the pigeons! Brilliant
ohhh, thats the best reason thus far!!!! AMEN
yes, yes I can – I want a BIG brown Dog!
Hey now…
shame we might be in trouble
but we can fly and just tease the big dog
Can the BIG Dog play rugby with me?
yes, yes we stick to big dog vote
hey….what happened to “Lawn Nomb”? (not to be confused with a lawn gnome)
I will protect you little pigeons
just got sms…woof, woof big dog vote
who’s side are you on waterbok?
what? you want the lawn gnome to go home?
….or come out and play with the BIG Dog?
waterbok: stick with the roaming, jokes aren’t your thing. hehehe
hey, there, I’m on the __________ (right) side. :)
i do like to freely roam – yes, that is much more up my ally
waterbok 3 has joined the group…we’re gaining a herd here
No question, BIG dog for sure!
little-med size dog might perhaps mistake me as a small tree and pee on me
and we can’t have that!
i can’t stand for being peed on, must get big dog!
plus our house would smell like pee…no, no
so yes must vote for BIG dog
who knew Giraffe in van Rensburg house was sooo funny
I’ve seen him everyday for over a month now, and nothing! He gets on the computer and now he’s a comedian!
you don’t even know how BIG our herd is
don’t make me bust out my friends
i believe that i’m allergic to doggie hair
waterbok: we’re all on the same side. Let’s put our differences aside for the good of the cause
sorry please get outside big dog
ok – let’s all be friends
sorry please get outside big dog
Just envision me having an allergy attack and falling off the wall?

Please….for the sake of zebra on wall…..get a big dog!!!
we can’t have any falling or injuries so big, big dog!
dude – zebra, you a bit tired
hey, do animals laugh??
watch out! I shoot little to medium size dogs too!
actually, I’m on a mission to rid the world of little to medium sized dogs
and as I was just about to get a little schnauzer this zebra ran right in the way!
I was so sad and sorry that I shot the zebra that I cried for several days
but alas, eventually i remembered my calling to promote big dogs and stop all love of small to medium sized dogs
so here i am, trying to spread big dog love when i came across your anti blog
Finally! i thought to myself…
some people who understand the true meaning of life:
to own and love a BIG DOG
best of luck to you, anti-blogger
go forth with vigor!!

Hey NorEaster,
You’re discouraging a group of missionaries over here. We have some seriously large disadvantages being over here with sloooow internet and the early hour of the morning that it is. We’ve rallied together for the sake of our fearless leader and now we see that you’ve come in with your early hour and fast internet…
Maybe you should consider conceding for the sake of the Thrive Family.
i vote big, big, big dog
thats big dog
we will persevere
Crikey, mate
b-big dog
the bigger the animal the better…
please…..noreaster! Concede the fight. We are asking this of you.

The humans have tried everything. Now it’s up to us dogs.
BIG, BIG DOG are the best
here doggie, doggie
puppy love indeed
good night
Ok Niel, we’ve tried our best but the NorEaster has the upper hand. He seems to be able to comment about 4 times as fasts as the four of us combined.
Sorry buddy, we really put our whole heart into this and more than anything we want you to receive your puppy.
Best of luck.
This is humorous.
We are offically kicking your hindparts, fella!
It looks like we lost this round. Not really fare though considering all the bloggers here were asleep for the last 5 hours of the competition.
I guess it doesn’t really matter since we already bought Niel a big dog!
Hey Niel. You want big? Take your pick. They said we can pick the dog up on Friday.
http://www.daveditges.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dog1.jpg
Kel prefers this one.
http://www.daveditges.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dog2.jpg
It does matter. Because we still kicked your hindparts. And I only had four hours sleep yesterday. And if Niel got a big, cool. But Alece STILL gets her puppy! So there.
Muahah.
sheeeeesh.
c’mon staff… is NO ONE on my side??
shame.
Alece- we love you, but you know…we actually never thought you wanted a dog at all…whereas we have been brainwashed about a big puppy my Mr. AB forever now…sermons, staff meetings, casual gatherings…AND you have quite the blog following- so…we couldn’t help it! :)
miss you both!
Hope you like the Dog we got! :)
he’s totally got you guys brainwashed. geez louise.
schnauzer.
schnauzer.
schnauzer.
i’d have to whisper that in your ear like a gajillion times to balance out the “damage” niel’s already done.
oi vey.
what’s the deal? this a-b guy writes ONE three sentence post three weeks ago and gets almost 600 comments. hmmm
No really, do you have anything to eat here?
Okay, if not something to eat……………….
how ’bout give me a hi-five?
Danielle (not Daniel – if you are Daniel look away now!)
The deal is he’s the ANTI-blogger – we are not.
Hence his comments will only grow ever more massive until eventually they become bigger than the blogsphere and blogging as we know it will come to an end.
Cunning Plan A-B! ;-)
Am not quite sure how he got a bunch of Dogs to work for him though??? They sure are good typers?
<B
is this really it? Dang. Can I be your first on the blogroll since you aren’t going to update?
honestly. i don’t think this really counts as a blog…you’ve written a title, a subtitle and a two sentence post.
you have 600+ comments, and you’ve not written one of them. i’m impressed.
we want more! you can’t even begin to tell us that you don’t have stuff to say. :)
by the way, we miss you and we are praying for you all the way over there in africa.
is it good to be home? (like you’ll answer that!)
clearly – the world domination thing is on the back-burner these days…. you need a helper to give you more time to anti-blog!
Still just 611 comments? – ok 612 now.
Hope you don’t have much longer to wait?
I bet the puppy will happily do your bidding!
<B
updates Niel? or is this just part of the anti blogging. you should really show em up by blogging anyway. that would show someone something. i don’t know whom or what, but oh never mind i have myself very confused indeed.
This is a never-ending oxymoron. He will never post.
and yet look at us. We come back like dogs to vomit.
There is something wrong with us.
that is a disgusting mental picture, becca. thanks.
and this just goes to show the world-dominating control and power of the anti-blogger. he’s got us all doing his bidding without us even realizing it.
Anti-blogger (a.k.a. Niel),
I propose a post on non-posting, an anti-post. It would be in keeping with the theme and solidify your position.
The natural follow-up would be the anti-comment.
Not having these critical elements on an anti-blog seriously reduces your credibility as THE anti-blogger.
Happy Birthday Niel!!!
Have a great one!!
Happy Birthday Niel! this is the first birthday i have not been in SA for. hmm since 2003. wow. i hope you are having a great one!
Happy Birthday Neil……Wow, ur wife is amazing….please get home soon and uh, take care of bidness… eh? Poor girls gone mad!!! LOL Pray the Lord is blessing your socks off….
This I found on an obscure website so I hope it says what I want it to say and not something offensive so as to stir the wrath of the birthday boy… :-) …
Veels geluk met jou verjaarsdag!
Happy Birthday, Neil! Have a blessed day!
Happy Birthday Niel!!! I just love your woman to pieces! I’m sending her something for your birthday that I think you will THOROUGHLY enjoy! It will rock your world!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIGER!!
Anti, question for you ….and you can reply via email….of these colors which is your favorite?
RED
BLACK
GOLD
SILVER
Seriously.
hahahaha!
this stegall is wishing you a happy birthday! Many happies to you with birthday butterflies and hallmark hugs wrapped in marshmallow fluffiness to you!!! [all b/c i think your wife stinkin rocks my socks!]
[okay, you guys are cracking me up! thanks for sharing the love with my man!]
Happy Birthday Niel!
thanks to al my wife’s friends for wishing me a hapy birthday.my day just started here so i might need to blog about how my day went.
or not.
thanks everyone and now lets get on with our days and life and stop making a big fuss on the fact that i am gettting closer to the end of my life ….
^THAT^ right there makes me so happy!
well, everything but the “closer to the end of my life” part. you’re lookin’ at the glass half-empty, hombre. it’s more like “closer to getting old and wrinkly with my equally old and wrinkly–but still beautiful–wife.” there. that’s much better.
awww, nothing like some good geriatric love fest all up in here!
You’re a man of integrity. What you say and what you do match up. You speak well of your wife, you’re one of the most crafty and optimistic people I’ve ever met. You dream big. Thanks for teaching us for a whole year how to dream big, how to live lives of integrity, and how to get the most out of the time we have.
Happy Birthday.
i like old people.
[just felt like i needed to say that]
“hey!”
Happy Birthday Niel!!
Alece, your last comment cracked me up. ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! R u as old as me now??? At least with age comes wisdom, so its something to look forward to :) Seriously…have a great day!!!!!!
Mo
Dude.
