It was 76 when I joined , Heidi told me , or rather suggested I keep it at 76 rather than change each year , she must have known I would be a stayer. - ray76, Nov 4, 2011

Answer 1

Happy Birthday, Ray !!!

You are a true inspiration to every one of us, regardless of age (mental, or physical).

Your unique perspective on life, language, and literature is always a treat for us.

Always a gentleman, with a kind word and encouraging nudge, for anyone who wants to overcome life's tribulations.

You are perched way up there mate , i thank you not only for the thoughts but for your wicked wit. - ray76, Nov 3, 2011

¡Hola!, Ray:

I went looking for a brief description of Scorpios and found this

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)

You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. Most Scorpio people are murdered.

I suppose it's fair to say that having survived a working lifetime without being murdered you must have found a way to break out of the typical Scorpio mould. Good on ya mate!!

Here, in Canada, the life expectancy of the average male is 78 years of age. As you have now achieved that ripe age, I speculate you have, indeed, earned the title "Super" Ray. In add iton, as you are now 78 the Comissioners Standard Mortality Tabe suggest you can expect a further 8 years and then if you achieve that goal, another 5 years, It just goes on and on. Somewhere down the road, you may become over-ripe but I'm sure you are not there yet. If you sense you have become over-ripe please just start the exhaust fan and clear the air.

And furthermore, be grateful you were not born a Virgo, as I was (and this may explain why we do not have more heirs):
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22) You are the logical type and hate disorder. This nit-picking is sickening to your friends. You are cold and unemotional and often fall asleep while making love. Virgos make good bus drivers.style = "font-size:115%;">

My very best wishes to you on this milestone occaision. Go on going on!

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

Moe

:

Thank you mate , you forgot to add that Scorpios are super sexy strong and good friends , but only the males. If you nit-pick then " ergo a Virgo " - ray76, Nov 2, 2011

I'm a Virgo Moe - one book said we are great at parties - because we empty all the ashtrays. - ian-hill, Nov 4, 2011
