I’m only kidding…sorta…she’s got a book that profiles your personality based upon the month and day of your birth. Lookout! Actually I’d like to challenge David B, Slythe, and Big Iron to participate and I’d like to ask ChrisCTP to report back with paraphrased findings… * * * Contestant #3 ---

(stunned) Phil, you are _younger_ than me? From your posts I pictured you much older. Maybe with a pipe, and a smoking jacket. 😉 ---

November 11, 1965, please. That’s 11/11/65, which must have some numerological significance – you’ve got eleven, then another eleven, then 6 & 5 which make eleven. Wait – don’t tell me! I’m destined to make smart-assed posts on a highly literate message board. Wow! Far out man! ---

Geez, you guys must think I only have time on my hands… ## I would be happy to post the profiles, but I don’t want to have to keep checking back here. If you really want me to do it, send your birthdays to my email address. Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought. ---

That is, I’ll post for the people who’ve already given their birthdays… anyone else can email. Frank: There is a little numerology blurb for each one, I’ll include that in yours. * * * Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought. ---

Kellibelli June 20th > [@](#): > > \*June 20 people have a way of arousing strong emotions and bringing > others out. Exceptional people born on this day can even experience or allow others to > experience a loss of rational orientation or a heightened state. Such a state in extreme > cases may be trancelike, ecstatic, even hysterical. Powers of ESP, psychic and predictive abilities are not uncommon among June 20 people. Indeed, those born on this day must guard their rationality. They should periodically examine their logic, for if it is employed to serve purely emotional ends then it may not be reasonable at all. Persuading others, in and of itself, is extremely attractive to many June 20 people. Unfortunately, they may not have the highest tolerance for ideas contrary, or as they see it, threatening, to their own. In fact, some June 20 people wish there to an unspoken feeling of consensus in their social environment which supports and > sympathizes with their often extreme points of view. \* > :::snip::: > _Although June 20 people are ultra-sensitive to emotion they may not always be > sensitive to the concerns of others at any given time. Thus it is important for them to > work on promoting in themselves the simple human attributes of kindness, consideration > and acceptance, while alleviating the root causes of jealousy, anger or envy.

You are kind of paraphrasing what the book actually says…right? Besides, you are probably helping to sell copies of the book…right? * * * Contestant #3 ---

Well, it is a really cool book… but my mind keeps wandering back to the MPSIMS thread “Whole Contents of Books You Must Share”, for some reason… Unless Lynn gives the green light for more, I’m just going to send them by email. I have already emailed to Phil and Pat. I will try to get through as many as I can before the boy wakes up from naptime. I invite everyone to post quotes and/or responses, though. I will post blurbs if I think they are especially fitting. * * * Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought. ---

This sounds an awful lot like Astrology … but what the hell. July 17, 1965. (I share a birthday with Disneyland, David Hasselhoff, and J. Michael Straczynski [of _Babylon 5_ fame]. July 17 is also the day Ty Cobb died, which _must_ be a good omen. Oh, and 1965 is the year the U.S. stopped minting silver dimes and quarters.) * * * I’m not flying fast, just orbiting low. ---

Tracer, if you want yours, I’ll need your email address. The boy’s still sleeping, so I’m off to rearrange the living room. I may get back to it after he goes to sleep for the night. * * * Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought. ---
