Today is my Birthday Day! Yay me- I am older; 17,520 days old.

I love history and these two things happened on August 6th:

Happy birthday fellow traveler.

Beers on me

a reply to: Themaskedbeast

Thank ya. Very much, can I possibly have a shot of whiskey instead of beer?

a reply to: Onlyyouknow

Been dry on whiskey for 16 years but I got a bottle you can have.

Sorry I dont have a bottle emoji all I got is the beer.

a reply to: Themaskedbeast

LOL. The beer emoji is interchangeable- so thank you again.

Did you do anything special for your birthday?

I went on a boat tour of Lake Michigan as I am on vacation

We spent the whole day at the lake swimming collected some amazing rocks.

Truly a great day to remember on my part.

I have a boring birthday, not much of anything important ever happened on my birthday of any year...except of course, I was born which is a very important thing to me I suppose.

Happiest of birthdays, Onlyyouknow!!!!

Happy Birthday mate - I have a reputation for getting my friends and family a very special gift for their birthdays, and have done this little gig for about the past 10 years.

Here is your present - A National Geographic magazine from August 1973....

(Getting harder and harder to find - as in the actual magazines from various months/years)

Of course; i told jokes to my husband and daughter- they laughed at my funnies and the laughter hopefully extended their lives.
I live in a lake community so we went fishing and got skunked (didn’t catch anything), had a good time anyway. They say that is why it is called fishing and not catching.

Happy Birthday.

I've only got Canadian whiskey. Is that Okay?

And I was born on a Saturday, around 1:00 pm.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were all 99% full. Pluto was a planet back then.

Poor Pluto- he/she has been banned from the plantation and it is not fair!

You have no idea how much this means to me. I am literally that person who goes into to the Goodwill (donation resell shops in central Texas) and buys boxes of National Geographic’s. I don’t have this one- so freaking cool.

Im August 9 Nagasaki day. Will be 49.

Also jerry Garcia of the Grateful dead died on my birthday. I dont remember which birthday .

a reply to: Onlyyouknow

There's about 2 oz of Crown Royal Black and a whole lot of Canadian Mist.

You can finish the Crown Royal.
