By the way, you share a birthday with my mother, who turns 93. She's pretty sharp, you don't ever want to play poker with her, and she'll still do just about anything for chocolate.
Happy birthday, Cha!

August 13 1944....oh that's not scary at all. It was the date you arrived. That's all.
The Beatles are so good for us, such sweet memories! I watched their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show~
On February 9, 1964, the British Invasion began with The Beatles playing live on The Ed Sullivan Show in front of an estimated 73 million Americans. Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles, and was almost immediately drowned out by the screams of girls in the studio audience. The Beatles continued to play twice that evening on The Ed Sullivan Show and Beatlemania had officially arrived stateside. The exposure of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 became a touchstone event for an entire generation and for music lovers everywhere.
Never before had so many viewers tuned-in to a live television program, which with 73 million viewers, was three-fourths of the total adult audience in the United States. A music group from England had never crossed over into American culture in such a way, and, at the time, it wasnt too common for a variety television show to book an English rock band. However, because Ed Sullivan traveled to England frequently, and had a great eye for talent, The Beatles caught his attention and earned a slot on his popular variety program on CBS.
As the legend goes, Ed Sullivan had seen the crowds of Beatles fans at London Airport trying to catch a glimpse of the band on their way back from touring Sweden in 1963. Again in 1963, The Beatles and Ed Sullivans paths collided, when he personally witnessed another huge airport reception before The Beatles played the Royal Variety Show. It became incredibly clear that The Beatles had taken over England, and were ready to ignite teenagers in America with their catchy pop songs, adorable personalities and witty banter.

'A record setting 73 million people tuned in that evening making it one of the seminal moments in television history. Nearly fifty years later, people still remember exactly where they were the night The Beatles stepped onto Ed Sullivans stage."

(53,661 posts)In Chinese astrology, Obama is an Ox.
Ox personality traits
Still waters run deep, as anyone who has observed an Ox will tell you.
People born in the Year of the Ox are the supremely self-assured, and as a result are noted for inspiring confidence in others. Generally patient and thoughtful, they measure their words, and will speak clearly and concisely often when it matters most.
Born to lead, Ox people can be quite stubborn - but also stubbornly loyal to those they love. However, when opposed, their fierce tempers are legendary. So always follow this very wise advice : never cross an Ox!
Generally placid and easy-going on the outside, the Ox can be very dogmatic. There are no gray areas evident within their narrow scope of vision, and they often only see things as good or bad. Therefore, they are never easily persuaded by a clever argument.
Possessing an excellent memory, the Ox can often recall verbatim a conversation weeks or months after it has occurred.
Their physical stamina combined with their mental alertness is a distinct advantage when it comes to completing any task at hand. In fact, Oxen can often be seen patiently working away... long after everyone else has dropped from sheer exhaustion!
Ox people are also generally good with their hands, and together with sterling leadership abilities are often successful as doctors or surgeons, construction managers, army generals or business leaders.
Some other notes on him and his characteristics:

Happy Birthday, sweet Cha - may all that is good in this world find you, may all that is loving embrace you, may all that is magical invite you, may all that is worthwhile inspire you, may all who you meet befriend you, and may all who are a part of your life appreciate their good fortune in being so.
All of this to say (and I've been berated for being too wordy on more than one occasion!) that I hope the coming year will be one of the happiest and most rewarding chapters in the book of your life.

Smile~
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
Henry Ward Beecher
Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.

(1,805 posts)I had the greatest post with Happy Birthday (and belated birthday) and my husband bugged me and I accidentally deleted it. (Actually it was PBO's fault), so.....he'll be over later to wish you in person.
A HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to our numero uno señorita! Actually I found this interesting and it makes sense.
"Did you know that saying 'Happy Belated Birthday' is incorrect? When you miss acknowledging someone's birthday you should tell them, 'Happy belated birthday wishes.' The individual's birthday is not belated because it came on the day it was supposed to. However, your wishes didn't come on the day of their birth. This is why wishing someone a happy belated birthday is incorrect. Next time you purchase a belated birthday card, make sure to find one that says belated birthday wishes".
Cha
(305,447 posts)birthday is on the 13th of August! So it's all good.
But, if I ever miss anyone's birthday again.. I will think of this and say "Happy Birthday.. sorry I didn't get to wish it on your day!"
I deleted a post of my own a little while ago.. I was so tired and hungry from today. Now, I have second wind!

Mine is Sunday! My BFF (also a Leo--8/5) are celebrating by going to the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island Saturday. They're going to have antique French carnival rides...I'm slightly too excited, once again confirming everyone's suspicion that I am a 12 year old trapped in an adult body
Happy happy birthday!!
