Dianna Shipman's Comments

Michael has a milestone birthday coming up in February 2018. I ran an idea past Gail that passed with approval.
I have small cards that are 2.5X3.5. The idea for the card is not to say happy birthday, but you have room to put a few sentences to tell Michael why you love him, his music or how his music helped you in hard times. It’s should be big enough for a wallet size photo if you would like.
Then when he’s home sitting at his desk, he can pull 1 or 2 cards to read when he has the time. Our words will be with him all year.
I request a SASE, and I will send you a card. Write your note and put in your picture. When your finished, mail it back to me.
For those out of the country, I checked with my postmaster and she said you can put your own postage on the return envelope equivalent to $1.15 US.
Email me, Sally, at MYSCRTPSSN@gmail.com and I can give you an address to send your SASE (self addressed stamped envelope).
A second option that isn’t as personal, is to email me a short note and I can cut and paste it onto a card for you. I don’t want to handle pictures this way because I’m not that computer literate and don’t want to make errors with something as personal as a picture.
When all the cards are gathered, I’ll put them in some sort of decorate box. And the box of cards will be Michael’s birthday gift from us.
It might seem early, but it’s something that we can work on Now through January. I’d like to be finished by February since I would need to get a box and mail it off to Michael.
Your welcome to share my email with anyone you think may be interested in contributing to Michael’s milestone 65!
Looking forward to hearing from you, Sally

Hi Dianna, another birthday to be added to the list: Linda K who's birthday is on November 15. I've just sent Gail the updated Word file. Take care sweetie and hope you're doing well. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D

Hi Dianna, we need to add a new birthdate to the calendar: Tammie Jones Knight, February 28. She posted her request on an old thread Gail had started in 2010. I've added it to my own list. Take care sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D

Hi Dianna, I just wanted to let you know, in case you're having trouble keeping up with MB info, that Michael mentioned in a tweet this week that he was planning to tour Australia next year! Of course, nothing official yet, but new dates are popping up in the U.S. from January on to April so far, plus 1 date in Montreal rescheduled from February this year. Someone recently found a video from last November, where Michael said he was working on a new album to be released this fall. Now we know about "Bolton standard time" and nothing has been announced, but I'm thinking  with a tour in 2015, it would be a great time to promote a new album. Also, if the stars are aligned,  this might coincide with the release of his Detroit documentary that's reportedly 90% done. He's now apparently working on not one, but 4 TV series we know next to nothing about and he's been  to several movie premieres and fests this summer, possibly rubbing elbows with industry VIP's, since his Detroit documentary is being considered to be either a TV series or a movie released in theaters. That's about the MB news for now. BTW, in case you haven't heard, I've become a grandma myself this summer! I've posted pics on my profile page, if you have time to take a peek. :D Anyway, sorry for the novel Dianna: I'm just glad to know you're still around and don't want you to miss anything. If you have questions about the latest, let me know. I hope you and yours are all well and do hope to read you more often on the site very soon. Take care Dianna and God bless. Big bear hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D 

Hello Dianna,

I would like to bring my birthday into the list! Do you make it, Dianna? I have on the 20th September birthday! Or must I write up another Person?

Hi Dianna - Your Very-Aussie square arrived - got it at the PO all in good shape.  Cheers, Amie

Thank you Dianna   that was very  nice of you love Ashley 

Hi Dianna, just wanted to pop by for the latest news. Well just to let you know, I’ve just heard from Amazon and it looks like “The soul of it all” is postponed at least until the end of January. I’m very disappointed, but trying to focus on the  fact that Michael will be on TV on “2 ½ men” in 2 weeks and God willing, we should hear something about the new CD when Michael returns from the Dave Coz cruise...  Take care sweetie and I’m sure we’ll talk soon. Hugs, sincerely, your friend Sylvie  xxx

Hi Dianna, here’s a link to a very interesting article Sylvia sent me yesterday but be warned: it’s a very long one! :D

Enjoy! Take care sweetie and have a great day. Hugs, sincerely, your friend Sylvie :D

Hi Dianna, it's good to have you back on the forum for a while sweetie! I know it'll take you some time to catch up, but aside from the tour thread and the lovely reviews, you might want to check the "Someone is recording a new album" thread in "the music" section. There we've put any crumb of info we have on the new album. Michael is being very secretive about this one. Happy catching up sweetie! My best to you and your family. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
