I like th ecomment of the writer who states he changed the birthday everyday. Funny. Benigna Marko says pretty clever. Yes, you now have two birthdays to celebrate, the question is are you a year older in January or November. Be careful, too many birthdays may make you older quicker. Benigna Marko loves birthdays and loves making birthday cakes too. A birthday cake with a design that matches the celebrator is fun. Hope you enjoy both of your birthdays. Benigna Marko.

I am on my way to a birthday party for twins. Twins of which we do not actually know their birth date. Benigna Marko knows that the twins were born in January. Exactly what date is unknown. Both parents are computer geeks. Benigna Marko stops to wonder, this might be the same thing. The twins date is unknown and that might not be so such a bad thing. With all that problems caused by using the internet, it might be best to leave your birthday date unknown. Although, I like your date of January 1. Benigna Marko had a mentor born on that actual day. His only wish was to be left alone on his birthday so he could watch football. Benigna Marko recalls how this wonderful man always allowed for all sorts of happenings but on his special day, he wanted to watch football and not only watch it, but to watch it alone without people conversing around him. Benigna Marko todays knows how important it is to have yoru special day be spent as this wonderful man did, doing what you like. Benigna Marko

When children are given a birthday date to celebrate, it is so much fun. As we get older, the fun is even better as it is this one day of the year, regardless, of whether it is a fake date or not, that you are so special. My birthday happens to be in December, but we always celebrated in March. Sort of the beginning of Spring like the new things to come. Why, simple, December was too hectic, after Thanksgiving, and before Christmas. Although, a small gathering would take place for my December celebration, March was the big one, the actual date I would tell people. So, friends or not, I did the December and March. You wonder what I do now, December. Small gathering and lots of fun. Benigna Marko

Trust no one is something that we should all remember. Just keep one thing in mind. Mother knows best. Benigna Marko

Making the spirits feel comfortable and fulfilled is what we are here to do. When a loved one goes away, it is humanly possible to continue the love of that spirit around you. Keep it simple and know that your loved one is with you.

Everday we embrace a new day with new technology and we do this to fulfill our needs. We turn on the radio, tv, cofee maker, shaver, dishwasher, light, electric toothbrush, we do this and we don't take a minute to realize it is a part of technology. We take for granted all we do so easily...

More importantly if you volunteer to do something, then go through with it. Don't worry about it and be creditable. Stand by your word and don't be a coward or a snake. If you say, you will do something even if you know that is not the direction of the conversation, you should stick to it and make sure you keep your word. After all, a man's word is all he really has.
