Happy Birthday! Congrats on your health, for lack of a better way of saying it. You are an inspiration, and an all around nice person! Have a wonderful day!
Well, the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet means life.
The 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which may be pronounced Tzahdi or Tzaddik, is generally said to mean "righteous person" (although the letter may originate from hunting or fishing because of its fishhook shape).
The Hebrew word for life - Chai - is composed of the eighth and tenth letters of the Aleph-Bet. That is where the use of the number 18 to signify life comes in.
THANKS EVERYONE! Thanks p.s. for the better explanation of the Hebrew letters. I kind of skipped around a bit- just wanted to get the idea of the number 18 out there. We learn so much on this board and that is why I love it so much! Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to send photos and animation- SOOOO appreciated! DG- congrats on your Rockies!

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!" -E!'s "The Soup"
Ha! Mateo- I knew it was Zac's birthday too. I'm old enough to be his big sister!!! I used to celebrate with George C. Scott and Peter Boyle. You know you're getting old when the celebrities who shared your birthday are now dead. Well, I still got Chuck Berry, Pam Dawber, and Erin Moran! Thanks, mom P.S. Cruel- thanks, I never really got into Frank Zappa (don't slap me) so I wouldn't have known that. My son would though.
Happy birthday, supportivemom! You really are one of the most supportive and sweet posters on the site. Hope your day is wonderful...oh, and 45 isn't old in the least.
Thanks JustaGirl! Your smile just lights up your avatar! I started a thread about what people appreciate the most about BWW posters- someone posted your smile- hope you saw that! mom
