October 7, here. …and, I kid you not…My wife on the 31st, my son on the 19th, my daughter on the 16th, my mother on the 17th, and my wifes mother on the 12th. Very expensive month. 😃 ---

(Okay, I admit it. Because a lot of other people quilt too, and I was more than a little surprised to discover that no one else had glommed onto that name.) ---

Thanks for the kind wishes. My birthday this year will be a non event - they went and called an election on it (and since voting is compulsory in this country…) > [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > Wow, someone knows the actual date of my birthday. That’s impressive. I’ll be 26, which means practically geriatric, right? Yep. You’re a whole 3 days older than me. That’s so OOOOOOOLD. ---

Because a lot of other people quilt too, and I was more than a little surprised to discover that no one else had glommed onto that name.) No thanks… I have more than enough guilt from my mother. It gets worse since it’s the Asian thing, enough said. 😉 All right then… I think either my eyesight is going (at the age of 28!), or I dunno what… > [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > Wow, someone knows the actual date of my birthday.

Believe me, I feel old already… and it doesn’t help when my sister sends me a birthday email that reads in part: “Haha, you’re really OLD now!” ---

If Today (10/4) is your birhday: > [@Joyce Jillson](#): > > This year, resolve to get to the bottom of any issues regarding ego, love and creativity. Also, focus on finding a work routine with which you can feel comfortable. You’re getting to know yourself better and will be able to make choices that make your year ahead blossom in ways you thought unimaginable. Lucky love signs are Sagittarius and Gemini. Lucky numbers are 3, 17, 29, 44, 48. …And in the interest of Libran balance: > [@Sally Brompton](#): > > If you want to create something that lasts, something you can be proud of and others will admire, focus on the process of creating rather than the end product itself. Means and end are one and the same and if you put care and love into each small part of it the final creation will be something that glows with its own inner light What that gobbley goop means to me:[ul] [_]Ego Issues: Keep reminding myself Wolf-Mesiter’s “Librans are sissies” stereotype doesn’t hold water. Maybe next year’s predictions will be a little deeper and include my Id & Alter Ego.[_]_Work Routine_: As my posting habits here clearly show; If I was anymore comfortable here, I’d take off my shoes & probably fall asleep[_]Knowing Myself Better: The only parts of my body I’m not entirely familiar with are the ones I can’t see that well: Like the bottoms of my feet and my ass crack. If the prediction has something to do with attending a Tony Robbins seminar within the next 12 months, my answer would be; ‘right after I see pigs fly’ (notwithstanding the album art on Pink Floyd’s Animals).[_]_Lucky Love Signs_: I have no plans to go to Vegas, AC, Tahoe or Monte Carlo with the Cancerian in my life. I guess I’ll be content going to Aruba in February, avoiding the casinos and _luck_ing our brains out on the beach.[_]Lucky Numbers: I don’t play Lotto. Seems the handful of times I have in my life, I always forget to check the ticket and end up throwing it away during one of my semi-annual wallet cleanings. For all I know, I could’ve won a few times and never even claimed my prize.[_]_Creating Something That Lasts & I’m Proud Of_: Sorry. My days siring children are over. I changed my last dirty diaper back around Xmas 1999. Unless someone can recommend another comprimise; I’ll vow to make a snowman if we have a cold and snowy winter - how long it lasts is solely in the hands of Mother Nature.[/ul] ---

Let’s see… Oct. 15: 10 birthdays. Oct. 10 and 19: 7 birthdays each. Anybody else born on those dates? (or any others, in fact?) ---

Wow **Flamsterette** , when you claim to be the birthday queen you’re not exaggerating. If Charter Members’ birthdays were evenly spaced there’d be about 13 for each day. There is a lot of missing information, so I guess I’ll help to fill in one of your blanks: my birthday is October 21. ---
