I guess your birth gave "Independence" a whole new meaning to both you and your mother. :D

Thanks guys. ;)

I let Mary do the sawing today.  We sawed out about 700 bf of 4/4 walnut from 7:30 to 10:00 and then cooled down for an early dinner with my folks (they've got to eat at 11:00 so they can eat supper at 4:00.)  Got back and sawed another 700 bf from 12:30 to 2:15 then knocked off for today.  Got a good bit of cheery to saw and a couple hundred feet of red oak to complete this order.

I'm in pretty good shape for being 154 years old.



For those who have nothing better to do,  here is a link to the story about my birthday – July 4,  1850.

GREAT story Bibby! I wish I had a story as good as that one for my Bday. :'(

 Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bibby!
 Great story! Sounds like some of the stories my Aunts
would tell me about themselves and my father (he died when I was 8). They were born and raised in Bernie MO back in the 30's. About 50 miles west of Cape Girardeau.
 Twenty dollars. Wow! Each one of my three kids were $13'000 each! C-sections that I'm not totally sure were necessary. Oh well, did'nt have my medical degree then so I
just had to trust them. Thank God for insurance! Have a great B-day 8). Wade

OOPS! That first cool icon was supposed to be an 8! Don't know how that happened :-[. Wade

Yea, don't get me started on health care costs.  Our fist kid in 1970 cost $750 – doctor and hospital – they had a package deal.  Next one two years later cost $1500.   If I'd known how they'd turned out I would have not paid and let them repossess!

A couple of years ago we were herded into the big meeting room at the factory were I work and was 'splained to about our new insurance options.  Had about 10 plans to pick from – HMO's, PMO,  RMO's,  DDO's, and I don't know the rest.  Each plan had a representative there to talk to us and answer our questions – plus our local insurance coordinator.  They filled the width of the room in front of us.

All the time they were talking, this bell kept ringing in my head,  – "No wonder medical help costs so much – we've got all these people involved that don't do noting for you except push paper."  

I remember going to ol' Doc Paine's modest little house in a little crossroad burg.  We'd knock on the door and he'd meet us at a side door that was his examination room.  After he looked you over,  he go back into a little back room that was no bigger than a walk in closet and get some pills out of a big brown glass jar and put them in a small envelope and tell you how to take them.   Usually the charge was $3.00 for the visit and medication.

Happy Birthday Bibbyman even if I am a few minutes late. July is the best month to be born in. All the people that ever amounted to anything that was worthwhile were born in July! ;D

Hey Charlie,

I think everyone knows that the best of the crop are born in July,  but isn't there a certain day in July that the very special----the cream-of-the-crop were born? 8)

People who have birthdays on holidays have some special problems.  For a good while,  I thought all the fireworks and family get together was for my birthday.  ;D

About half the kids in the little one room grade school I went to were from the same family.  Two sisters, one older then me and one younger,  were both born on Christmas day.  Figure the chances for that.

Years ago ( before Wood-Mizer ) - Mary worked in a large local insurance firm.  One July third,  we and a two other couples from her office met after work at a restaurant to have supper.  We'd got seated when a lady from my office came in with her fiancé.   She asked if we were out to celebrate the 4'th early and I said no,  it was to celebrate my birthday early.  One of the other guys from Mary's office spoke up and said his birthday was also July 4.  Then the fiancé of the lady from my office proclaimed July 4 as his birthday.  The coincidence was too great so we each pulled our driver's license to prove our claim.
