Pat2003~((Y)) I'm still working on our berry plans. Now that razzledazzle has admitted to predicting the future, maybe we should consult her for the really prize worthy dates to pick...
(Voice of razzledazzle)..
I see a trail.. I see bushes.. I hear laughter and high IQ's discussing nuclear engineering.. I see a BEAR. I smell essence of Russian potato liquid, I'm getting S.T.O.L.Y.S...:-p

***Remember folks, when you step off the bus in Alaska, you have entered the food chain.. muah ha ha

My birthday is 9/11...yes, I know, not fun. But it is a good reminder to never take for granted the life that I have. My favorite place to celebrate is Italy, this year I will be celebrating in Telluride.

You're a true Martian Warrior-es,
dear jet~
<):)
Your description of the confab in the bushes sounds like what goes on this time of year up at the Bohemian Grove.
=-o
Oh me my starrs~I used to do them by hand before computer programs were so common-loads of calculations and many charts and books-
takes hours of research, yet I thought it was fun...then. If you've never had one done-it can be quite interesting and rather revealing,but mostly something to have some fun with, IMHO.
((*))
It's especially interesting to put it away and them stumble across it on a rainy day in the future. Many times
I heard people say "Oh, that isn't me!"
about some trait, only to find years later...."Hmmmm..." It's good to be a skeptic ! There's really no predicting the future, 'cause you can do a lot to change it.

December 20th here! Yes, I was a present under the Christmas tree. :)

I'm in Florida so it's always nice to celebrate here with family in December. But if my birthday was in June (I do celebrate my "half" bday then), I would like to spend it in France and Ireland for an extended birthday party for about a month. :)

Ahh yes, razzle, I am a <font color="red"> cusp</font> person...and I when our baby boy was born, someone did our charts..we are all 4 so compatible it is scary!

But I am pretty true to all the Horoscope descriptions of an Aries.. ((F))

r5, I had my cards read on my last mileston birthday. I said &quot;that's not me&quot; and by the end of the year, EVERYTHING happened that she said would happen! Woo-woo!

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 04:08 PM

ALRIGHT FLMOM!! I just knew there were more of us intellectual crabs out there in Fodorville. Now, where' Lee Ann and Tiff? Who else has had a birthday of late????

<b>Come on you <font color="red">crabs</font>, stand up and be counted!!!</b> :)&gt;-

razzledazzlebedazzleberries~

Back in 1982, I had a reading done by a prominent S.A. psychic.. Charles deVilliers if memory serves.. anyway, my reading was the most accurate of my mom, sister and I. My cousin had been seeing him and he had a prominent list of clients from abroad..
He let me ask three questions at the end. I wanted to know how long I would live(I know).. he said &quot;two times eighty plus thirteen&quot;..
So all the years of single engine plane rides in the bush, boat trips, turbulence, illness and whatever, I have held on to that.. and he was so amazing when he described my fiance(now dh) and future children, that yes, I am a believer.

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:12 PM

arghhh! make that two times 40 plus thirteen. I know some of you are howling. &quot;She rides her da** bike, so what, she still will not live to be 173&quot;. Oh my goodness.
Time for a laxative,lol.

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:14 PM

Be quiet BayouGal. I can hear you from here[-X

starrsville Jul 25th, 2006 04:15 PM

Well, I wondered. But, my grandmother is 105 and I just decided...jetset's gotta have goals! :-)

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 04:20 PM

Hey, J, it's hot, rainy, and I'm drenched in sweat . . . what else am I gonna do???!!! :)

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 04:23 PM

And that just proves she's not a <font color="red">crab</font>!! LMAO

And Starrsy, yes, we must let her have her dreams . . . ah, I mean, goals. Sometimes it's all any of us have! ;-)

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:23 PM

okay, I forgive you for my extremely bad math, ha ha.
It is rainy here, but not humid. Maybe 60 was our high. My lilies are continuing to bloom. I have a coral, rose color, yellow, red, white and dark orange.
Every morning, I look outside to see any new arrivals. If I find enough duct tape, I could wrap my stomach and pose in front of them and make a link!!

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 04:25 PM

LMAO, you nut . . . but now that you mention it, I may try that - then I might have something on the top! :) But with my luck, it'd all spill out the bottom . . . scary!@-)

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:32 PM

Ladies~ did you see that awful list of new terms for flubber?
cankles(no diff between the calf and ankle) muffin tops(spillage above the jeans).. the one I hate most is the back phat.. I read that new brides have that area &quot;liposnorked&quot; to make the bustline look nicer.
Glad I snagged my guy before the pressure was on. All I worried about was a lack of good tan in Mexico!!(travel talk pertinent to post)..

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 04:36 PM

I don't know, now that so many people are traveling to get cosmetic work done, maybe I could work out a deal with DH . . . a new woman (me, with everything tucked, lifted, and suctioned) for a trip to Singapore?! :-?

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:51 PM

I don't know about you all, but I sorta feel sad when I see someone with work. One gal in my neighborhood had the bust area enlarged, then acted quite obnoxious in front of my dh in the grocery store. He was way embarrassed!
He later tried to make me feel better by saying she had a unibrow, hmm.. and this same &quot;friend&quot; who I faithfully walked with for a year, she saw me in a school hallway and bellowed &quot;you've lost a TON of weight&quot;.. I hadn't, it was my skinny jeans, but still...
Back to travel talk.. I guess Brazil is the leader huh? are single and phishing?
I might be tempted for a tummy tuck, but the downtime would sure make me cranky. I need to sweat every day, but not from the weather,lol. I have naturally curly hair that I fight!
That's why my friend in Calif. and I meet in Vegas. She has curly hair too, and a good blowout makes us feel like celebrities for days!!!

mooselywild Jul 25th, 2006 04:52 PM

Yay! You made it past 100!

Anyway, thanks for the ed input- when I get closer to graduation, I'll know more of what to ask:)

eeew...cankles? muffin tops?? severely disturbed here....and I thought the &quot;waxing&quot; thing was bad.

Let's see- I'm incapable of tanning (lobster, lobster) my hair has a life of it's own, and I will never be smaller than a size 10 without starving myself/cosmetic surgery. According to popular culture I will never marry - but at least I still have travel, my Goldens , and Godiva chocolate. Life is good. LOL

Anyway, stay cool everybody!!

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 04:56 PM

mooselywild, you are queen! I fight to hold the line, what with hormones and my sweet tooth.
I finally ordered my doctor to notify my insurance co. that chocolate is necessary for my survival!
