Yes, today is my birthday - September 24th

When people wish me a "Happy Birthday" I tell them that while I am having a happy birthday, my mom and dad had a very merry Christmas the Christmas Eve before my birth.

I can almost see the scene in my head "Bob, I think the kids are asleep. Come open your present."

SIL helped me fix a network problem from 600 miles away and then finally went out for a sub with Mrs. Lib.

The other SIL who is 1100 miles away went to the emergency room the other night. Looks like he is doing well, thank goodness.

I have a couple of very strong daughters and a couple of great SILs

Plus the phone has been ringing off the hook about a lot of things.

Thanks for asking.

And if you have any friends whose birthday falls in the Sept. 24th to October 1st range, you can do the math.

BTW, one SIL's birthday is Nov. 14th - 9 months after - well you know.

As I said earlier the phone has been ringing off the hook.
Our SIL is doing well. Thanks to covidiots it took 2 days for him to get a room in the ICU. But so far things look good.

Hope everyone had a chuckle. My brother almost fell out of his chair when I first told him.

maybe someday this will be a trivia answer "People born on Sept. 24 were conceived on this date."
