With all the “26 turning 27 in June” around, I’ll buck convention and be 27 turning 28 in June (and a Cancer- I grow on people, then I kill them). Nothing special seems to have happened upon my birthday, aside from more bombing of Vietnam. * * * JMCJ “Y’know, I would invite y’all to go feltch a dead goat, but that would be abuse of a perfectly good dead goat and an insult to all those who engage in that practice for fun.” -weirddave, set to maximum flame ---

I’m 43 and I was born on the cusp of Aquarius and Capricorn. Any one else born on the cusp? ---

30, for another month. Taurus on the cusp of Gemini (May 20th). I don’t know what that means, though, atrologically speaking. * * * Jodi _Fiat Justitia_ ---

Let me help pull the average down a little… I’m 21, I’ll be 22 in July. I don’t believe in astrology, but cause it’s fun to be on ‘teams’, I’m a Leo, and my planet is the sun (which isn’t a planet, of course); I’m also a horse (1978). ---

1. Bast, I was almost born on the cusp, I think. Jan. 18. Once grounded, now feeling mostly disconnected - hard to concentrate. That’s not in the planets, that’s parenthood and working 4p-1a. ---

I still read the board regularly, but just haven’t had much time to post. 94 huh? If I look half as good as you when I’m half of 94, I’ll be less Ugly than I am.

Well I thought I already posted to this thread, but I can’t find my post. Oh well. 20, Libra. Born a day away from the cusp. * * * Rather, I was in the position of a spore which, having finally accepted its destiny as a fungus, still wonders if it might produce penicillin. –Ayi Kwei Armah ---
