Scorpio cusp, eh? Got this from the Toronto Globe and Mail ...

Thursday, October 24th
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS TODAY:

Whatever you think of as a source of weakness in your life now will be a source of strength by this time next year. Pluto, your ruler, gives you the self-belief you will need to take something negative and worthless and transform it into something positive and worthwhile. The next 12 months will change your life - for the better, of course.

If you call on the powers of your ruling planet Pluto today you will find a way to transform a negative situation into a position one. It won't be easy and you will have to make sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty but the end result will be worth it many times over. The challenge itself will be pretty exciting as well.

What a great way to start the morning! One of my absolutely favorite people having a birthday......Enjoy your day, your age, your life, and we wish you all the best from from here in the great unwashed midwest. Either accept these greetings or piss-off.........

53 huh? Yeah, me too......But they say a man is only as old as the women he feels......So since I am 53, I was wondering if maybe I could cop a quick feel?.............Yeah, I figured as much............oh well...............Happy Birthday anyway........

Of COURSE you're still middle-aged -- so am I (and intend to be for a looooong time). I know for a fact neither of us is old. (We just have more memories than the younger set -- and I'll always be younger than you, nyah, nyah, so I'll just have to come over and dust you.)

Didja get the card yet?

I think the smells have dissipated from the B.D. gift you gave me -- and it can soon be brought back into the house. ;-)

Have a GREAT B.D. and celebrate for at least a month (how about moving into a new house? would that be a good way to celebrate?). It's my mother's birthday today, too.

Well, well, well. Sinsull's birthday and I am in a position to do something about it. Too cool.

First of all, Happy Birthday!

Second, as your birthday present, you now have free admission to the Roll & Go house concert this weekend.

Third, when I next see you (probably on Saturday) I have a special birthday hug specially prepared for you.

Nice to know someone so wonderful can age without looking it.

Grey at the temples,
Soft body, delighted,
Cracked up by life
With a laugh that's known bitter
But, past it, got better,
Knows she's a survivor—
That whatever comes,
She can outlast it.
I am becoming a deep
        Weathered basket.

I am becoming the woman I've longed for,
The motherly lover
With arms strong and tender,
The growing up daughter
Who blushes surprises.
I am becoming full moons
        And sunrises.

I find her becoming,
This woman I've wanted,
Who knows she'll encompass,
Who knows she's sufficient,
Knows where she's going
And travels with passion.
Who remembers she's precious,
But knows she's not scarce—
Who knows she is plenty
        Plenty to share.

Happy birthday, thanks for sharing with us....

Happy, happy birthday, dear Sins!! May you continue to be a guiding light for your (just a little) younger sisters here on the 'Cat *BG* and have a real 'knees up Mother Brown' time today.

not middle age anymore INDEED!! According to 'popular culture', you've reached 'middle age' when you turn 12 years old -- so, that must mean that only the best and brightest can survive to our ripe 'old' ages (hahaha) -- Just remember what my daddy said (yeah, I'm going to say it again..) "You're not old -- you're young enough to play the game and old enough to know the score" -- And I can't think of any better place to be in life, can you?

All the very, very best on your special day, Áine

HeySins!! Happy Birthday!! Sounds as though you've got some great offers here for some fun times in the next few days!

Just remember, there is no middle age, except in history; we are centre-aged! Well, I may not be, yet, since I am still younger than all of you!*bg*

I know the feeling of someone telling you that, though. I picked up a paper the other day and it had an article in it telling adult children how to accident-proof, for tottering adults, their houses and that of their parents, who were purported to be in their, ohmigosh, 60's!! Talk about being out of touch with the baby boomers, hell some of 'em are just having families by then!:-)

Anyhow, I have a little fellah who should be coming your way in the next week or two; sort of a belated all kinds of things pressie. And, ya know, I live with a Scorpio and all I can say is you all are a very interesting lot!
