The weirdest and funniest “happy birthday” of the day? I opened Google after midnight and there was a picture of a birthday cake and other goodies. So I said to myself, I wonder who else’s birthday it is?
When I hovered the cursor, it said (still does) “Happy birthday, Marilyn.” I think it must only work on my computer, but that’s the picture.
How do they do that? It’s kind of spooky, but cute! I know it’s software, but still … out of the millions of people using Google, how do they know to make that header show up on my computers?
Isn’t technology grand?

That’s extremely cool, a little disconcerting but cool nonetheless.

Big Brother not only watches. He sends birthday greetings 🙂

Somehow that’s not a comfortable thought. 🙂

No, but if they are going to track everything we do anyhow, they can at least send appropriate greetings.

Yes – after all that is the polite thing to do when invading someone’s privacy so Kudos to Big Brother – Miss Manner would be proud.

If Big Brother is going to watch me, he may as well send birthday greetings 🙂 Thanks for the good wishes. I’ll need them!

I think that happened to me as well! I’m generally always logged in to Google on Chrome so I guess they got my date of birth from my account.
It’s a lovely thing to see on one’s birthday 🙂

Ah, of course you are Pisces 🙂 Naturally. I’ll eat a maki roll in your honor tonight. Friday is surgery day, so I’ll be in another place. But thanks Mike. Good to know there are friends out there.

And on my birthday I will be sending you some positive healing energy Marilyn. I suspect you have many friends and it tickles me that I am in that legion.

I wish so many friends were so not so far. A significant — critical — care group are here — and I am grateful for all friendship, wherever it may be. Friday will be a good time to send all kinds of positive energy. It’s going to be a long surgery. There’s a lot to be done in there. I won’t know all of it until after the cathaterization on Thursday. I hope the rest of the heart is okay. But whatever, I just want them to fix it all and be on my way back to life.
