Not from me, you won't. I schedule my annual dental checkup along with
the trip to the accountant. Now that I'm of that certain age, I should
set up the colonoscopy at the same time. Might as well get it all done

You must live in a large city. That was my impression, too, after years in
Indianapolis. Then we moved to a rural area on the outskirts of a small town
about 30 miles away from Indy -- and found the Post Office employees there to
be smart, friendly, competent, and hardworking. Twelve years later, we moved
back into the city, and -- well, it's not like it was in the small town.

What ****es me off is that Veterans Day is on Armistice Day and that is
November 11. Period full stop. Not Monday. It is supposed to be a day to
remember the sacrifices of those that gave their last measure of devotion
and those that continue to soldier on living with the damage war inflicted
on them.

I'm surprised the Uniform Holidays Bill (PA 90-383) didn't make the 4th of
July on whatever convenient monday or friday to take off.

That's okay.....

My wife used to work for a large insurance company at its Boston office.

They used to swap "Bunker Hill Day" - a Suffolk County "holiday" for the
day after Thanksgiving off.....an upgrade, I would say.

So was my only son, 11-11-72.

Talk about getting lucky: He was born at the end of vietnam and was
almost too old for the Gulf War and the present unpleasantness in Iraq
and Afghanistan. He wanted to enlist in the Navy, but the recruiter
advised him to stay in the civilian market for his skillset.

Our local Navy recruiter was a fine and honest man.

But my son knows well what Veterans day means and respects our soldiers
and vets.

And, of course, he likes that the whole country celebrates his birthday.

scheduled my birth for some date when people were feeling good, but they
didn't have other financial commitments. Memorial Day would have been nice.

Well, you could have been born on or near to Dec. 25.

I was, on the 27th.

You're never quite sure you're getting Christmas or birthday presents.


My son was born on New Years Day. 2nd baby in the county of that
year.

So we combined presents. G

The Mother of my God daughter's birthday is December 14th. So she
was well aware of the travails of having a birthday so close to
Christmas, and vowed not to have any kids in December. However "Madam
does not keep a calendar on the ceiling of her boudoir." God-Daughter
was born Dec 29th.
So I mark St Nicolas Day (Dec 6) on the calendar, and beat the rush.

And my poor nephew, who was born on Dec. 24th. He never had a chance.

My birthday is in early August, so I get the full complement of
birthday and Christmas presents at the appropriate times each year.
So solly 'bout you other guys.

Curse you, Red Baron!

A friend of mine used to say her birthday was the same as Rosemary's
Baby, June 25, the Antichristmas.

I'm surprise you didn't come back with "Your mother sews socks that
smell!", but then I realized that was from "The Exorcist", not
"Rosemary's Baby". Carry on. (Or should that be "carrion" for this
particular veer off the original thread?)

No possibility. Shrub can't think that many steps ahead.
