It sounds like he has lived quite a life already. I loved finding out about Tom in your piece Debi and I loved how you put it all together. I really enjoyed reading it and I hope Tom had a great birthday.

Happy Birthday, to Tom terrific! A good old boy who is fun, entertaining, for from about all I've gathered, a mighty fine fisherman. Thanks Debi, for always taking time out to think of others.

You are so nice, and talented too. Obviously, pretty good at researching too. Another example of your generosity of spirit towards your fellow Fanstorians. On behalf of all on Fanstory, I thank you for kindnesses to others. God bless you.

    How did you discover those dates. Actually jeanette and I have two wedding dates, we married twice.
reply by the author on 04-Jun-2024
    Actually my conscience is saying to me right now, no no no no no....
    I have been only leading you along, hoping somehow you would slip. I know your birthday is in August because you said your twin brother was born in August. However, I thought I could look on the internet and see when he passed away and see if they would tell his birthday. I tried and I found nothing. So I admit that I was going to do your birthday in the middle of Aug and hope for the best. You have been so good to me so that I really wanted to do a poem for you and so I was actually just being a little brat as I teased you that I knew. Sorry about that.

    I'll make a deal. You tell me your birthday and I'll give you mine. Along with some details of your city, your kids and hubby's name and any other passion outside of writing. Then we can trade poems. There's no need to apologise. I have a lawyer retained for any defamatory remarks.

    Hey you, I just found out today that for sure I have two cracked ribs, and it hurts to laugh. Hahaha! Ok, you got a deal. My hubby is Glen, three kids, six grandkids, and I live in the country and we own a 100 acre crop farm that we rent out. Our town is the home of the Irish. It is not a dry town by any means. Lol. And my favorite thing to do besides love my family is hang out with my awesome friends at FS with people like you, my awesome friend.
    Is that enough to keep me from your lawyers clutches? Hahahahahaha!!
reply by bob cullen on 05-Jun-2024
    I have a solution for your pain, actually I have two. First, just keep drinking, that will eventually dull the pain and two, if that doesn't work, keep drinking.
reply by the author on 05-Jun-2024
    Hahahaha! Yeah, so I fall down again and break another rib? Where can I find your attorney? LOL
reply by bob cullen on 05-Jun-2024
    Actually. my attorney's in prison, serving time for attacking the other side's female witnesses. Be warned.

    Middle of August is close, but 23rd is spot on, I'm on the cusp, but I consider myself Virgo. I've now written one for you, would you rather I post it or send it direct. It is PG rated.

This is a lovely poem for Tom's birthday. He's certainly had an interesting and rather unconventional life. It is so sweet of you to write poems for so many people.

Well, Debi , one more marvelous rhyming poem in our fabulous birthday collection you are creating for our FanStory family. You show us over and over again how unique we are, but how homogenous we are as well. We may live in different parts of the world, but our aspirations have commonality. A universal love is for our families, and you illustrate it out so beautifully time and time again.

I can't imagine what it would be like to live in cold, cold Alaska, and admire Tom and his family for being able to call Alaska home. I enjoy Tom's observations (like the fitted sheet problem), and stories, and am glad you put his life story and birthday wish into poetry.

Happy birthday Tom. I wish you many years of love, health, peace, joy and prosperity.

    Hi Lorraine, Tom has actually told me that they maybe have the horrible winds but it isn't as cold as where we live in MN.
    I thank you for your very kind comments for Tom's birthday poem. You are truly a good friend and Tom will appreciate the awesome well wishes too. Thanks again, my friend. Love, Debi

There is a lot involved in Tom's life, and having it all happen in Alaska is both exciting and dangerous. I had two siblings live and die there. Good fortune for those who stay.

    Oh no Bill. But was there something about where they lived that caused them to die there?

    My brother died alone from complications of gangrene, and my sister apparently starved to death.
reply by the author on 05-Jun-2024
    Oh how horrible. So Alaska has a stigma for you that of course does not paint a pretty picture? I?m so sorry Bill!

Hello Debi,
I'm searching for words that will somehow express my extreme gratitude for the wonderful birthday poem you wrote. Thank you seems so generic, but I guess it's a good foundation in any event. I was so pleased with this poem, and the fact that you went the extra mile and put in some of the songs I absolutely love. When I was reading the reviews and birthday wishes, I was overwhelmed by the kindness of the many people here on Fan Story. When one recognizes that they are undeserving of the love that is extended to them, it makes that love all the more precious. I so appreciate this wonderful gift gal. Thank you so much!
God bless and keep you.
Tom
