Yes, it is true - I believe in astrology ! From my short life experience I also can prove that people from the same Zodiac sign have similar (not identical indeed) personality. Jan has the same Zodiac sign as my Dad, December 12 ... always looking for something new, always on the road, never satisfy with everything.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Sagittarius, the ninth Sign of the Zodiac, is the home of the wanderers of the Zodiac. It's not a mindless ramble for these folks, either. Sagittarians are truth-seekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. The Sagittarian-born are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarians want most is to know the meaning of life, and if they accomplish this while feeling free and easy, all the better.

It's the Archer which represents Sagittarians, although in this case it's a Centaur (half man, half beast) which is flinging the arrows. Centaurs were the intellectuals of ancient Roman mythology, and Sagittarians are quick to consider themselves their modern-day counterparts. Those born under this Sign are clear thinkers and choose to look at the big picture most of the time. They also like it when others agree with their well-thought-out point of view. The alternative to this, for better or for worse, is a Sag who can become argumentative and blunt. That's not to say that these folks are intransigent -- Archers will listen to what others have to say, in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. Indeed, Sagittarians are enthusiastic consumers of information (and enthusiastic in general), the better to get the answers they need. It's also a good idea to give Sags lots of room to explore their world. Once these folks start to feel hemmed in, they'll become impatient and difficult.

“I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.) Then they told me that underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.” - Jules Pfeiffer

1968 Vietnam Vietnam Massacre By US Forces

16th March, 1968: U.S. troops massacre South Vietnamese between 200 and 500 unarmed villagers at My Lai 4, a cluster of hamlets in the coastal lowlands of the northernmost region of South Vietnam. During the ensuing massacre, several old men were bayoneted; some women and children praying outside the local temple were shot in the back of the head;

In some ways this single story that came out changed the views of many American citizens who were beginning to question why the US was involved in Vietnam and was later proved to be true, this was a fairly isolated case of US forces brutality which reflected wrongly on all US forces in Vietnam. 1968

Hi Tommy,

Very interesting facts about Vietnam.

And what a furore on the General Discussion site.
I wonder if George Miller is somewhere out there looking in.
Come back BBS - all is forgiven!

Just to let you all know that I'll be 41 on the 6th of March

Thanks, sir! Information accepted and processed Both numbers are important for me. On March 6th 1982 I get married and this year it will be 26th anniversary. Although, in 2000 when I was 41, I started my fighting for checkers crown and won my 1st US 3-move National.

Hence, you are still young baby ! When I played match with you in 2001 - I was 42 You have everything ahead but don't wait too long. I'll be glad to meet and play with you again in China this year.

Happy Birthday !

Sincerely,

Alex

... (wait until tomorrow)

Hey

You talk about coincidences, anyway congrats on your 26th year of true happiness ; and give your wife a big kiss from me and pass on my sincere best wishes too .

Yep time does fly ; I remeber that match as though it were yesterday .

I too am looking forward to meeting up with you in China ; I don't promise anything but the new training program that I've set myself is well under way and has been designed to compensate for the unfortunate lack of real tourney play , which handicaps me compared to other olympic candidates who have a club or strong opponent 'just around the corner'.

As they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating

Anyway best wishes again for tomorrow , and I'll be thinking of you both as I raise my glass of whisky to celebrate my 41 years ;

Hmmm ... I always thought that nothing can compensate lack of practice, but I can be wrong indeed

One famous pianist said: "if I don't practice one day - my fingers feel this, if I don't practice 2 days - I feel this, and if I don't practice 3 days - people who listen my play, feel this !"

Alex

41 is a prime number. So in this year, which is the year of mathematics, your age is perfectly timed.
So it is proven that you must be in your prime!
