    Crappy birthday

    Hi!


    Cheer me up!

    Today is my 39th birthday, and so far one of the worst. A minor calf muscle tear and a really bad throat (maybe flu coming on) have made my day miserable, and kept me away from training. On Friday, I must spend half a day to fly from one end of the country to the other - the event calls me out of bed, even if it turns out to be a flu.

    Out of morbid curiosity, I looked at astrology webpage to see which celebrities I happen to share birthday with. Conclusion: I sure am happy that astroloy is bunk. The list:
    1. One of the henchmen to the German WWII leader
    2. One of the worst-behaved sportsmen of all times - John McEnroe
    3. A porn star who had to stop her career when she became absolutely mad (Alicia Rio)

    To bring up the field, Paris Hilton has her birthday Feb. 17th.

    Not sure what to do of that gang.


    Have a nice time!

    Well, at least you are still having birthdays. Some of us stopped that practice a few 35's ago.

    there are only a few birthdays that matter.... 1-12, 16, 18, 21, 40, 50 and 100. Nobody gives a sh!t about the others. With that said, try to cheer up, and be thankful that you've made it this far. Happy birthday man.

    Well here in Canada...add in 19 for an important birthday as well! That's when we can drink. And then 21 as well, because that means we can drink in the States. Ha, we get an extra important birthday to celebrate.

    Happy Birthday though!

    And it's all down hill from here on out, bud. My suggestion is to start drinking. Heavily. After a while it doesn't matter any more!

    Wait, the forums tell me you're 55.
    The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon.

    Ah, never mind that crappy bunch. There are lots of other nice people you share your birthday with, "The Armourer" for example!
    Additionally you have a BIG party to look forward to next year!

    Feel better!

    1) You do not live in a "red state"...or indeed anywhere in Bush's America.

    2) You'll always have math to console you.

    3) It's not raining. ( )

    Peter,

    Sorry your day was such a bummer - but at least you haven't hit 40 yet. That's when the wheels start falling off the car :-)

    As far as the creeps you share a birthday with: look at it instead as you providing balance via your stellar qualities!

    Many happier returns of the day, Jeff

    Peter,

    I turn 47 in a couple of days, and I share my birthday with Ansel Adams (good) and DFP (which proves that astrology isn't all that it is cracked up to be).

    Just remember, alcohol is a good preservative....

    MR
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Heh, I'm teasing my old man about the imminant arrival of his AARP letter. Also, anyone *can* drink. The floor of freshman engineering students above me proves this nightly.

    Yes, but if they make it to sophomore year they will be economics majors.
