Our girl Twirl is not on the birthday calendar (or at least not in the right place), but according to her post on this thread, today is her birthday http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=6047.msg194384#msg194384

 :birthday; to you!
 :birthday; to you!
 :birthday; dear Twirl Girl!
 :birthday; to you (and to your hubby too!)

 :bestwishes; and I hope you are having a great day and that you are remembering that your IHD family loves you!
