That sounds like a good education for a child. They don't realize the impact of these things. I grew up on a farm near the Gulf coast. Two of our main crops were cotton and peanuts which were harvested during the peak of the hurricane season in August and September. We kept a close eye on the hurricanes because it didn't tak a very big storm to blow the cotton off of the plants or ruin the peanuts before they could be gathered. We would lose a years income plus the expense of growing the crop. Even though that don't endanger lives it is a huge economic loss over a large area.

So you would prefer ladies? Not judging here just wondering...

I was also wondering, but choose to just watch and see.

My doctor doesn't want mine over 130. He says it damages the heart valves. The 63 sounds really good. I think over 135 is considered high. Yours is high enough to see your doctor. Byron

That's great you only need to have one party. I am sure they love that. My daughters birthday is the fourth of July and my son was born 13 October. Growing up he wanted to know why the whole family always came over for his sister's birthday but not his. He did not want to accept that his sisters birthday was on a major holiday.

My 2nd son was born July 4th, at the Navy Hospital in Charleston SC. So I gave him a patriotic name.

And, being that his birthday was a major holiday...I told him to just pick any other day of the year for a b-day party. Considering everyone in the nation would be otherwise occupied on July the 4th.
We also made up our own holidays. Their daddy was a deployed seabee 10 months of the year. So we would have x-mas in July..or when ever. They got to have an "Un-birthday".....whenever. Pick a day...we'd do cake, ice cream..or something specially birthday like.
We also would do thanksgiving dinner like in April.

I needed that laugh today. Thank you. We'll have to wait 5 months and see.

BF was born on 10.13. I never made the connection between that and his name. He thought I was pretty spacey when I said REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY that's why your name is Chris?
