Then there was george burns who asked what his secret was for a long life and he replied, "A glass of brandy and a cigar every day." The interviewer asked, "Really? What does your doctor think about that." Burns replied, "Him? He's dead." 14404. arkymalarky - 3/31/2005 11:41:43 PM There was an old lady in AR who was interviewed on the news several years ago--she was 110 or some outrageous age--and she said she drank Crown Royal and chewed Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum every day. 14405. judithathome - 4/1/2005 12:55:40 AM Yes, thoughtful, I love having my birthday. I don't mind being old because I don't think I look it and I know I don't feel it. 14406. arkymalarky - 4/1/2005 2:27:02 AM 30 really bothered me. Now I don't pay a lot of attention to them.

Magoseph - 4/1/2005 10:43:02 AM April Fool's Day
In 16th century France, the start of the new year was celebrated on April1st. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January 1st.There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them "April Fools". They sent them on a 'fool's errand' or tried to make them believe that something false was true.
That's one theory, probably. 14414. thoughtful - 4/1/2005 2:09:56 PM Thanks mac. I think we're heading out to lunch today to celebrate my bday to a most romantic restaurant. Hope the weather clears up so we can really enjoy it.
We're expecting major rain tomorrow into sunday...somewhere upwards of 4"...if it were snow, it'd be 50" Yow! 14416. Magoseph - 4/1/2005 7:15:55 PM I deleted my own post #14415 because it is far too contentious--really, I wonder what I am thinking about sometimes. 14417. Magoseph - 4/1/2005 7:18:29 PM If the person to whom this post was addressed read it before it was deleted, please accept my humble apologies. 14418. Magoseph - 4/1/2005 8:28:12 PM 
14419. RickNelson - 4/2/2005 12:32:07 AM Hey, I don't want to be after Mago's post, but I have to tell thoughtful Happy Birthday. Wish I'd been around earlier, but I took the chance to try and finish my Fed. Return. Which I did.
