debi, on the main forum page, where it lists all the sections, at the bottom you can see: who is on-line, newest member, and who has a birthday today. i actually knew it was marvin's birthday tomorrow because i called him yesterday about some free pecan wood i scored- have to get it by next weekend. when i found out about it, i called him up to see if he wanted to come down sunday (his birthday) and get some for himself. he told me sunday is his birthday.
