Steve Miller, 71, blues guitarist who released eighteen albums with the Steve Miller Band from 1968 to 2011, known for singles like "The Joker."

And as always there were some who shared October 5th as a birthdate, but have since passed on. Here are a few, and of course Steve Jobs as listed above in the history news.

Ray Kroc, 81 (1902-1984). He bought a burger restaurant from the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million and was responsible for turning McDonald's into the world's dominant fast-food chain. He joined the company in 1954.

And so all of Braingleland and myself want to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to PIANISTCHRIS. Hope it has been a very good day celebrating with family friends and other loved ones ad that you will have many many more.

OK Folks, my deepest apologies for completely slacking off the birthday wishes. No, I have not been sick, but my family has been and it has made an emotional mess out of me. Things really aren't any better at the present, but I have learned how to cope a bit better. I do, however, know that this is the time of the year that my illness hits me the hardest so I am going to cut back all the extra stuff I was putting up for the birthday folks.

Sorry, but I feel wishing you Happy Birthday is more important than not doing it at all. And again, folks, I did not take over this birthday area so the rest of you didn't have to wish people good wishes on their birthday. If you have a buddy with a birthday, please get your two cents worth in.

So for the October Birthday Folks that I missed I will do a groupie, belated wish for all of you

10/11 Female christiangirl from the US

In the process of wishing Happy Birthday to our fellow members of Braingle, as admitted above I missed some important people during October. Three people celebrated their birthdays but have not logged in during the required time. Since I had previously been passing wishes out to some I will finish up my October work with wishes out to three friends from the United States who celebrated before the 1st of November.

Two friends who called October 13th their big day to celebrate are talenpoe and Fomi_luvs_RENT. My buddy, and probably everyone's, celebrated his birthday on October 20th, none other than Shawneeo. I hope all of you had an outstanding birthday and celebrated with family, friends and other loved ones, with lots of cake and presents. Do wish you would come back to Braingle and chat with us. We miss you.

Thank you Grayma for making everyone feel so special on their birthdays! Happy Birthday to all the braingers out there who I have missed! Life it seems has other plans at times, so I am away from here most of the time, but I do like to pop in occasionally and check up in everyone. Hope everyone is having a lovely fall and all your birthdays are happy and healthy.

I do so appreciate acknowledgement of my birthday wishes. I so hate it that I had to cut back so far, as I truly enjoyed researching the bit of information that I was attaching to the wishes. And I think there is very little that is sadder than to have a birthday and to have to celebrate it alone. We are the free world, it just should not happen!

Some of my information seems to have been moved so I accessed a different method of gleaning the birthday people out of so many November recipients. We still carry everyone who has ever been on Braingle, and so it appears that we have had a big drop out. Not so, as people come and go, just like myself and Tonjawithaj above. But anyone who has not posted in the last 30 days will not be singled out for an individual wish. There will be some that have only been gone close to a year, and I guess I still have the people on my own friend list who may not be around here. These people will be bunched in a group for a combined hug and wish, with the hope that they will slip back in to see if anyone remembered their birthday. All it takes is just a look to remember, Hey these people are like family to me, I'd better stay around and see what the heck is going on.

So I have three active birthday people to whom I want to wish the Happiest of Birthdays, with many blessings and love. Hope you overdid eating cake. Hope you didn't get hit trying to break the piñata. They can be fun. My grandson had one for his birthday with all these young boys who had just learned to play Little League baseball. Let me tell you, you just handed them the stick and stayed clear. Candy half way to the road and back. LOL

Now I did a fast copy back on November 5th and my handwriting leaves an awfully lot to be desired any more. I think I could now write a prescription like the doctors do - illegible. LOL

So here goes, and again, I do apologize should I spell your name wrong: KaylaMissKhaoi, female from the US, celebrated her birthday on November 6th. Yesterday, November 8th JonD 7, male from the US may have held a big cake eating party. OK Jon, the interested people of Braingle want to know. How did you celebrate? And last but not least is ttviper, a male from UK and my nemesis on our Food Fight, I get you once in a while, but not always, am just trying to stay ahead of you, LOL, anyhow, he will celebrate on November 11th. Wow! You have a thing with numbers 11-11. How close to the 11th hour were you born? I have a thing with birthday numbers (4-24-1942 at 1:24 AM) Haven't decided if I like the 4 or the 2 best.

Brainglers please help me wish a Happy Birthday to our three mentioned above I am hoping you celebrated with friends, family and other loved ones and have a healthy, happy year.



Four people who are on my friends list, but are MIA that I want to slip a quick personal HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEOPLE - WHERE ARE YOU to are username1234, b.d. 11/2, Longhorn_fan b.d.11/3, dishu b.d. 11/8, and my forever dear friend, brainster who will celebrate on 11/12.

Well it seems I have fallen way behind on the birthday list. I sincerely do apologize to everyone whom I missed. My health took a turn and am just now starting to feel human again. Spent some time in the local hospital with Influenza A and pneumonia. No fun at all. And while checking my chest x-rays for the pneumonia they found a very large goiter that is shutting off my airway. My surgeon tells me I am breathing through a straw. So one week from today I am to check into the hospital so they can remove my thyroid and the goiter. Not exactly looking forward to having surgery again, but again there is not alternative.

I want to wish Happy Birthdays to the people who I have on my list from today until March 8th. Am hoping I will be back home by then and perhaps be up to at least sending out greetings to our celebrants.

Today, a young man from New York, Snowymaster1748, celebrates his birthday. Hope you have a great birthday. Am sorry for all the snow that seems to have fallen in your neck of the woods, but hopefully you are still getting Snow Days from school. Stay warm and enjoy your free time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

On February 25, one of my old friends, Fishmed, is celebrating his birthday. He calls Illinois home so I suppose he has some snow also. Fishmed holds the number one position on the Braingle poster's chart. He is the owner of Braingle's Writer's Block for all kinds of writing or for just the entertainment of the reader. Check it out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Papa Fish. Enjoy the festivities with your family, friends and other loved ones and of course, eat lots of cake.

And on February 26th, cccgirl, who plays a mean game of Werewolf I have played several games with her but still can't tell if she is human or a werewolf - she is just pretty good at it. Hoping you have a fantastic birthday with lots of presents and friends to help you open them. CCCGirl, wishing you a Blessed Happy Birthday.

In March there will be two more Werewolf game players who will celebrate their birthdays: debc1 from Texas will be the birthday girl on March 1st and HABS2933 from Canada will be cutting her cake on the 6th. And on the 8th of March, a systems analyst from West Virginia, phsoccer21, will be hearing people sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

To all six who will be celebrating their birthdays in the near future, I extend a BIG BRAINGLE BIRTHDAY WISH to each and every one of you. Party Hardy!

Thank you all! We do have snow and -9 temp, so no outside activities. But fun, food, and family

I wish I could sleep... but my mind starts to wander, and well, basically, one sheep, two sheep, cow, turtle, duck, Ol McDonald had a farm... HEEEY Macarena!!!

Well I decided since there was no football to watch on this Saturday afternoon I would check up on the people who will be having birthdays in the middle of March, just in case I am still on the mend and yet not feeling up to doing such. So I am wishing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to three of our Braingle friends during this time.

dancingrobots, a young lady will be getting a year older on March 10th. On March 12th a young man by the user name of MDCTeasers will be celebrating his birthday. Happy Birthday to both of you. Hope you will continue to enjoy Braingle and appreciate the family feeling we have here.

Speaking of Family Feeling, I can't let this birthday celebrant just get another year older without joshing her a bit. Yeah, Froggygg, you are not just getting more wrinkles, you are picking up another year. But on you they both look good. Looked for a Frog birthday wish but I think I outdid myself a few years ago on that one! LOL Folks, Froggygg and her husband, Sarge are the epitome of virtual friendship. They have both reached out and made my life easier and happier, just by being who they are. The last time I had emergency surgery back in 2010, Froggygg, in her wonderful way, tracked me down, placing a call to my hospital room and telling me that I had a really drastic way of getting out of a Werewolf game. Now you think that didn't make me chuckle. And Sarge with his wise words helped me counsel my grandson who was facing his 2nd tour of duty in Iraq, leaving his wife and small daughter here at home. And Sarge, just so you know you had told me he needed to create a place in his mind where he could go to instead of the area of concern for his family. That is where he came up with the idea of a virus coming up out of Africa. No, not Ebola, ZOMBIES! He now has two books published in his trilogy and the third book is due out in August, 2015.

Sorry folks for going off on a tangent, but this has been my first chance to share how much Froggygg and her family mean to me. They are both definitely keepers and I love them dearly. Anyhow, join me in sending Birthday wishes out to Miss Frog on her day, March 12th. And if you don't have anything else to do go take a look at her wiki. You will be amazed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FROGGYGG!


The sound of the wild, but if there is no one there, does anyone hear their howls?

Happy Happy belated Birthday Froggy! I agree with Grayma that you and Sarge are a great part of the Braingle family and I am glad to know you.

Happy belated Birthday to Fishmed! I always love seeing your avi pop up!

Happy Happy day to all that I have missed! I miss being here more, but life has an interesting plan for me and I am riding it out.

Thank you tonja! You are not late since the 12th is my birthday - so you were right on time! I'm glad to know you too, and that we have become friends.

Fish, I know I wished you a Happy Birthday on another site, but I missed wishing you one here. So, Happy Belated Birthday to my dear friend and mentor! Could never have learned what I have about Editing and the site without your advice!


SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!
