Make the Most
of May, 39ers!
Heading
out on the town this month to celebrate your 39 and Holding UN-birthday? That makes you a 39er! No matter how many times you’ve
turned 39, in May it’s still a treat to toast the day with your mom. It’s their
month, too, birthday or not. Happy Mother’s Day!
If
it’s your first 39er UN-birthday, here’s
what life was like for mom … 39 years ago
this month …
39 Years Ago
this Month ~ MAY 1979
May 18th:
“Disco Duck’s” antics of 1976 still
influenced our music, with the Top Ten in major cities touting disco songs.
Donna Summer brought on the heat with “Hot Stuff” at #1, KFRC/San
Francisco. “Disco Nights” by G.Q. rounded out the top
ten, as we boogied our way into summer. ♪ “And the music’s tight | on the disco nights …” ♪ 
May 25th: Little green men? The “Grays”? Oh, no, when we met Alien this day in 1979, it was way
more creepy and ominous than those cute little guys. It grossed out enough of
us that it won the 1979 Academy Award for Visual Effects. Ewwww! "In space, no one can hear you scream."
May 31st: You might recognize the silly
comic pup below. He often made us feel human on our worst day (and still does).
This day in 1979 was a classic. You
know how we dress up for a summer fling, lookin’ oh, so cool … and then
stumble, spilling a red fruity drink on the person we were trying to impress? Snoopy always takes his faux pas in
stride …
For 39ers who
Follow the Stars
…
Moms bring May flowers, right? Well, it seems like
it, since MAY 39er moms—and the rest
of you deliberate and down-to-earth Taurus
folks (April 20-May 20)—are multi-faceted with complexity to match. Isn’t that
a mom attitude?
But wait, there is more to May 39ers as some of you transform into quick-witted and chatty Gemini go-getters (May 21-June 20). Think fast around your
favorite Gemini. Their twin-sign is energetic and versatile, and before you
know it, you’re left behind on the way to Mothers’ Day brunch!
Looking
for gifts this month? In the world of
flowers, the May lily stands lovely and delicate,
as it implies harmony and humility. Or the month’s emerald gemstone is a fine, deep green choice
to match the sparkling May personality.
Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
Old age ain’t no place for sissies.
Are
you a 39er this month? Feel free to share your UN-birthday comments below and tell us how you really feel about
your age and aging. Keep the stories coming!
