Happy Birthday to you both! My sister and her husband also celebrate their birthdays one day apart - they're both Gemini's, and I've always been fond of telling their daughter that she's lucky because she has "4" parents instead of just two! Many happy returns of the day to you both. Anne Reply #1193. May 29 19, 4:11 PM |

Thanks Anne! We're both Geminis, too, and my husband actually is a real twin, with an identical brother. He was best man at our wedding and it took me all day to remember that it was HIS birthday, too! Doh! Reply #1195. May 30 19, 2:55 AM |

I rather think that what happened 75 years ago today is worthy of a civilization saving comment. In my opinion. Reply #1199. Jun 06 19, 3:27 PM |
