Cake.

Honestly, I think cake (and even pie) is overrated. I’d rather have a slice of warm, fresh-baked bread.

Sigh! The little hedgehog patiently wipes the drool up off of the keyboard. Again.

Holy Guacamole! We’ve got so many Cakeday celebrations today that I can’t list them all in one post…Discourse won’t let me! (Didn’t anybody have anything to do on December 7th three years ago???) 
Let’s try this…Happiest of Cakedays to:
and the other dozen pages of folks who don’t hang around on the forum as much.
And Happy Birthday to @jjmacdougall. 
Let there be cake!

I can tell you exactly what it was.
I got an email announcing the glowforge beta.
You had to indicate your willingness on the forum.
So I joined the forum to sign up for beta testing, and that is an email that affected my life.
Not like getting religion or meeting my spouse life changes; but this forum and the laser over my shoulder have developed me into a maker. Inside Joke among my scout buddies: “Hey, did you know Merinda has a laser?” - and they all laugh because of the sheer volume of lasered scouty things they have.
I spent hours on the forum early on. I never heard an official word from the company; but I’m pretty sure I was a packaging tester with one of the very first Glowforge units in the wild - due to forum participation, I think. So I think I’ll go make a cake or something.
Joining this forum was indeed significant for me.

Didn’t realize he was a singer…but since it’s his birthday, we ought to be singing to him. (Poor thing!)

Happy Cakeday to everyone that I’ve missed over the past month and a half I’ve been away. I’ve missed so much and will try and catch up as I can. Happy Cakeday to all!
