Happy Birthday Cyrano

Thank you very much, Kalosyni. Very kind of you to send me birthday greetings on my birthdate, October 9.
I am so proud to share that birthdate with John Lennon, Camille Saint-Saens, Alfred Dreyfus, Nikolai Bukharin, Aimee Semple McPherson, Bruce Catton, Alastair Sim, Lee Wiley, Steve McQueen, and many other people of note...
Some ignorant people claim that Giuseppe Verdi was born on October 10. But his mother told him it was the 9th. And Verdi, who lived a very long life (he lived 88 years), always celebrated his birthday on October 9th. -
I'm sorry I've been absent so long from this the friendliest group I know on the Internet.
But how do I sign off or log out of this website? It seems I used to know how; I believe I have, many months ago, done it a whole number of times.
But now - though I have searched on every page here and opened every logo (and spent over an hour!) - I just can't find how to get the hell out of here.
I'm feeling very stupid! -

Happy Birthday Joshua !!!

Thank you both, and Happy Birthday to you as well Kalosyni!

Happy Birthday, Kalosyni and Joshua!

(Cicero, On Ends, 2.102)
"I have to admit that these are the sentiments of a good and humane man. But a wise man, and especially a natural scientist, which Epicurus claims to be, should not be thinking that anyone has an anniversary. Can the identical day, once it has occurred, occur time and again? Of course not. A similar day? Not even that, except perhaps after an interval of many thousands of years when all the stars return to their original positions at the same time. It is not the case, then, that anyone has an anniversary. 'But the anniversary of his birth is observed!' I am well aware of that! So be it."
I think that's as close as we are getting to Cicero wishing you a happy birthday.
Have a great birthday, Joshua and Kalosyni!

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com
What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:
- First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
- Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
- Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
