HBD BSG!
Re: HBD BSG!
Thanks Joe I had a lovely day, involving Thai food and a binge of The Wire and quality time with my dog and family and lots of love from far flung friends on Facebook, so I have no complaints.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Best wishes - congrats on another orbit!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Sorry BSG - I need new glasses. I read Meade's comment as 'congrats on another obit!' WTF!!
And many more. Orbits, of course.

I COME IN PEACE .......
Happy birthday, BSG.
Interestingly enough, you apparently shared the date (11/23) — but not the year! — with my father.
-"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Re: HBD BSG!
Sure, best belated wishes. How often does "your day' come on Turkey Day? Turkey Day Eve is much better than Black Friday.

Re: HBD BSG!
Thank you all for thinking of me on my birthday- I had nearly got off Scott free but trust Joe Guy to ruin things! But seriously Joe I appreciated that post quite a lot and definitely spent most of my 52nd well baked. Very low key, hung out with my wonderful dog friend and watched the Sister Boniface Mysteries on BritBox - I cannot recommend unless you were a stalwart fan of Murder, She Wrote. I spend my birthdays trying very hard to stay in the moment and not thinking too much about all the people on my miss list, including LJ who almost always started our birthday threads in the past.
As I understand it, when I was born in 1970 Thanksgiving was the week after - so I was big enough to attend with my mother, newly released from hospital and me swaddled in a receiving blanket. I have the picture somewhere of mom and me with a funky baby seat carrier in olive green and with a psychedelic flower pattern on the lining.
For many of the years of my childhood my birthday was on or anyway always close to Thanksgiving, so after those first couple of birthdays when mother is still excited, I often got just a candle in my piece of pie lol. I’ve always been glad though to have a feast near my birthday; the bigger issue growing up was it being eclipsed by the national day of mourning that occurs the day before my birthday. When I was growing up and young there would be so much melancholy on the television over the death of Camelot which was still so fresh in American minds that I felt a little bit guilty about my birthday.
