Happy Birthday Confused...

You know throughout the years I've learned from observation that the most beauitful, intelligent and extremely gifted people are born in the month of February. Amazing isn't it?

Happy birthday, Confused!

Do you need to change your name now? Confused44 still has a nice ring to it...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!


Grapes are versatile. Grapes can be sour, sweet, sublime as wine and fabulous even when old and dried out.

Me: BS
XCH: Clueless
2-DS: Bigger than me
1-DD: Now also bigger than me!

5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?

Happy birthday C42!

I truly believe this will be a better year for you. I get the feeling the saying my MIL always says applies to you...

"It's always darkest before the dawn"

Your dawn is approaching so keep focused.

Aloha C42,

It's still your Birthday here in this timezone. So, Hau'oli la hanau (Hawaiian for Happy Birthday). Pronounced - Howww-ooo-lay la hon-oowww.

Be Pono (good) and God bless.

S&C

Hummm, to be 44 again? I don't think so. Too much drama back then. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
