[QUOTE=vivalostwages] Next year, I will have a birthday on 09-09-09. What does it portend? :dubious: [/QUOTE] Find a roulette table and bet heavy on a 6-9 split. ---

Hit the big 40 this year (in a week, no less), so I’m all about the monkeys! **’68ers all the way!!!** ['Cause 69 (the year, ya perv – or maybe it’s _me_ that’s the preeeevert) is overrated. :p] ---

[QUOTE=faithfool] Happy belated then **qwest**! Hope it was a barrel of… fun. 😃 [/QUOTE] Thanks! Came out of nowhere, forty did. Smacked me upside the head and announced loudly that the youth was being strangled out of me. Actually, I can’t stop thinking that except for a few more aches and pains, life is not much different than it was 10 years ago. 1968 was a fine year to be born. ---
