This Libra has a friend who is doing serious study of Astrology (like to be a professional) and I have agreed to be one of the subjects of her class homework 'case studies'...and though I never believed much in it, my eyes have been opened! When you have someone who really understands it in depth, wow, the information is stunningly accurate and insightful. I never would have believed it!!

How does everyone know each others birthdays? Do you send rhizome gifts to one another? :lol:

Are you an October baby Tom?

Mine is posted on my profile. Know Arlyn's because he said something about the family activities. Several others chimed in, including Tom, who gave a roundabout answer. Since I was never good at math EVER, I still haven't figured out the answer. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

It assumes you know a few things, like how many days in a year. Then if you use the figure in Arlyns post, you should be able to get how many days less then a year older I am. With some logic, you should be able to count to the day! Here's a clue. . . It hasn't happened yet! Smiling

Oh...so I went the wrong way!
Assuming you are not counting leap year days that would be 365-345=20...August 28,29,30,31st = 4 days...20-4=
16 so....SEPTEMBER 16th!!! (If my math is correct - math was never my strong point!)

We'll be waiting to wish you a happy birthday...but since my memory is so dang lousy I'll say it now!

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!!

So it's the 14th or the 18th...and gee thanks for the hint about the y-days...(smart a...lec) Rolling on the floor laughing

I do love a puzzle, but this is getting ridiculous!! Hilarious!

OK I give up...c'mon Arlyn...help us out here! Glare

...oh, I bet you are not supposed to count the 28th...but that would only change it by 1 day...to the 15th...so it's probably the 14th, not the 18th...

Well, what do you say now? Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

UMMMMMMMM I say you're still off by one day, but that's due to my mistake. Your guess before this last one was off by 3, not two, maybe it's because I can't keep my own birthday straight! It's not here yet, and already the senior moments are increasing! Crying

Do not tell me you are born on September 17th! My brother Tom was born on that day. That would just be weird.

if you ask 22 random people what their birthday is (day and month only), 8 times out of 10, you will find a "match".....2 of them will have the same day, and month

Aren't most of us August 10th? That is the most popular iris addict birthday.
Don't make fear based decisions.
