Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you You’re 25 years old today Happy birthday to you. My friend, upon reaching the age of 25, realised in a blow to the ego that she was now, officially, too old to audition for The Real World. ---

Sorry that by now it’s late, ladies, but happy birthday to both of you!! (I didn’t read this earlier, because I suspected it was one of those “quarter of/quarter till” debates!) Aries women Rule! ---

Happy Birthdays to both of you! When you get to be my age, you tend not to adverise them (figure I can stay 34 a couple more years if I _forget_ a few) ~Bo~ [http://www.spacestar.net/users/flattum/horsie.gif](http://www.spacestar.net/users/flattum/horsie.gif) ---

But don’t expect anything special when you’re a third of a century. Nobody figures out when 4 months after your 33rd birthday is. * * * Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded. You’ll find it an effective combination. ---
