Happy Birthday, Patsy Cline! What a weird 76 years it’s been! Hope you’re well.
"I wonder why she don't make any more records"
"Cause she's dead.""Oh my.. doesnt' that just break your heart?"
"I've had time to get over it."

Births
blah blah boring blah no one is reading cause it's so long
You take the time out of your busy day to copy and paste the entire wikipedia entry for today's date and yet didn't bother to express your wishes that a single one of the dozens of archaic people now lost to history you mentioned is doing well?
Perhaps you missed the beauty of this thread. That said, Angelic Devil, I hope you're well!

It was more to give a brief nod to all those who had their birthday on this day, since choosing one seems arbitrary but fine I'll let it go. Still, there are a great many people both famous and not who celebrated a birthday each and every day and many deserve recognition. But I will leave it to Daigle to do as he sees fit.

Happy Birthday, D. H. Lawrence! What a weird 123 years it’s been! Hope you’re well.A light for my birthday. Being born on the 11th of september is not that easy anymore... (especially when 2001 was a special birthday : I was 30 years old !).
Keep on Daigle : it's a great thread !
My friend's birthday is on September 11 as well. So...
Happy belated birthday, Silenttimo, it's been an awesome 38 years!
Happy belated birthday, Miranda, it's been an awesome 19 years!
Happy Birthday, Bennet Walsh! What a weird 8 hours and 16 minutes it's been! Hope you're well.
A recent addition?
