March 1st

[Tracy]

Well someone we all know is going to be celebrating a Birthday on March 1st :)

If you'd like to leave a birthday message, here's the place to do it ;)
I'll make sure he gets them.:)

[NicoleDutch]

Dear Dirk,

Congratulations or as we say in Holland "gefeliciteerd". I hope you will have a great day with your kids and other friends/family. Don't forget, you are as old as you really feel yourself. Who cares about age?

Have a nice birthday and it was fabulous meeting you in Tilburg:)

Nicole

[Denise Ross]

Dear Dirk, You are a very kind, caring and intelligent man and you have inspired me in so many ways. Can you explain to me how you get better looking every year? lol HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may you have many, many more.

[xRamona]

Dirk!! Happy Birthday.. I hope you'll have a great day.. :D

Love,

Ramona.

[Dawg]

[ostarella]

I'm a quotation fanatic, so for my birthday greeting to Dirk, thought I'd share these:


First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful.
- Lady Diana Cooper

The other day a man asked me what I thought was the best time of life. Why, I answered without a thought, now.
- David Grayson

To remain young while growing old is the highest blessing.
- German Proverb

You don't stop dancing from growing old, you grow old from stopping to dance.
- Anon



And this is my favorite - my mother used to say this to my father all the time:

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be...
- Robert Browning

Happy Birthday...:)

[deebeelicious]

Some nice quotes there O! ;)

Happy Birthday Dirk - I think Christy's got numerical dyslexia there! :)) ;)

As my previous card went down so well :rolleyes: :oops:, I'll avoid posting one for now and instead follow on from O with a couple of quotes:

If the world were logical, men would ride sidesaddle.

If you really want to be happy, nobody can stop you!

xx - hope it's the best year yet! ;)

[UKJules]

Dirk,

Quotation:

"Whisky really does improve with age, the older I get the more I appreciate it"


Have a wonderful birthday......enjoy;)

Best wishes

Jules x x (hope to see you at Collectormania - Manchester in November);)

The day arrives so quickly, that is a blessed day, and I truly wish for you that the day is fair and pure, and we mark something that we all should have in common, that love is shared in abundance and it carries on day after day after day.
Its a remarkable person that can inspire that.
My thanks to you for child memories, and thank you for wisdom you have shared.
Happy Birthday Dirk. <3

[Christy]

.....well, I'm going to be 34 this year...uuhh...or is it 43 ?! Maybe I'd better check on that...LOL...*wink*(darn little smilies...I'll figure them out one of these days...LOL)

...and here's a few more quotes...

"Do not resent growing old. Many are denied the priviledge."
-Unknown / Anon

"Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old."
-Frank Lloyd Wright

"We have no simple problems or easy decisions after kindergarten."
-John W Turk

Oh, and just one more....

"None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm."
-Henry David Thoreau

Take Care Dirk,
Christy

Beste Dirk, *
Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag! Maak er een mooie dag van! *

You haven't the slightest idea what I just wrote, right? And: No, it's not bad language, it's dutch.

Happy Birthday!
This year it's on a saturday, lucky you! So you can party as late as you want to, unless you have (let's say: fishing-) plans on sundaymorning...
Good luck with blowing all the candles on your (healthy)birthdaycake. Thought you might need some, every year there's one more on it...

I will also eat some cake (maybe rice) tomorrow and have a drink with that too.
Have fun!
All the best.

Mirjam (the Dutchgirl)
PS: have a great time cleaning the house the day after!

*translation:
Dear Dirk,
Congratulations, happy birthday. Hope you have a beautiful day!

[starlight]

Happy Birthday Dirk!
Wishing you a great day full of love and happiness, spent with those you love.
Penblywdd Hapus!

[Hladgunnr]

Happy Birthday Dirk! Wishing you the best for your birthday. Wish I could take you for a spin around the dance floor - maybe a TANGO! I shall raise a toast of Glenlivet XXV to you March 1st in thanks for my introduction to Macrobiotics.

Have a great Birthday!

[JoDaniels]

Dear Dirk

Hope you have a lovely fantastic birthday, Hope you get lots of great presents and cigars.

Miss you and still remember Holland it was great with you and Dwight.

Still sometimes wish on the Dirk and Dwight star.

I am still playing football, I have been scouted by Cambridge United in there Youth Develpment team so I now play and train with 2 teams. If you still like Watford they may get back into the premiership next year.

We are going to have a Dirk dinner tomorrow on your Birthday Salmon and Brown Rice can't wait.

Happy Birthday mummy will write her message next.

Love you from Benjamin Daniels in England

[JoDaniels]

Dear Dirk,

Happy Birthday,

Just like to say first hope you like the little note from my boy Benj above he really made the effort tonight sitting typing that for you took him good 20mins.

Anyway Happy Birthday tomorrow hope you have a great day with all those dear to you.

Remember the motto "We may be getting older but we refuse to grow up" How does that sound, sounds good to me !!

I'd invite to cook for you on your birthday however you are there and I am here and we don't know each other, but hey its the thought that counts.

Yes we are having what Benj called a Dirk dinner tomorrow our favourite Salmon, Brown Rice and Stir fry vegetables.


Well take care of yourself.

Warmest Regards Always

Jo Daniels

[asmay]

Dear Dirk,
Time is a strange concept and it seems to be going faster and faster (or I am getting older and probably slower). A whole year has just flown by and again you find yourself being (in your case) the birthday boy. Congratulations and wishing you all the best. Enjoy !

[Petra]

Dear Mister Benedict,

Herzlichen Glückwunsch :)

Happy Birthday to you and GOLDEN TIMES forever, too

Health is the name of the important thing
and soon we will get spring

I wish you that all your wishes comes true
and many many Happiness for you!

Have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends

Big Greetings

from

Petra

So Happy Birtday dear Dirk. I hope you will have a splendit day with your boys and other family and maybe friends. I do not smoke otherwise I would lit up a birthday cigar in your honours ;) but I will drink a whiskey later on (It is now 8 AM so that's a bit early if you don't mind:p)

Greetings, Wanda/ Zilfstar
