Best wishes from a faceless, soulless corporation

This morning I logged into My.Yahoo, as I so often do, and there was a special greeting waiting there for me:

(For those not in the know, skyvue is my favored 'net handle and serves as my Yahoo user name.)

There's something depressing and not a little bit creepy about receiving one's first birthday wishes from a web site -- not even from an individual at a particular web site, but from the web site itself.

Thankfully, those felicitations were not the first I was to receive on this particular birthday -- my Flo was there, bless her heart, to ensure that this natal anniversary got off to a bright and cheery start.

My.Yahoo.com came in a distant second, and thank heaven for that.
