We need to plan on being on the same coast some year to have a Virgo bday extravaganza celebration!!!
Oh, that would be a lot of awesome in one place, for sure!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Whenever I see a photo of a mildly famous person I went to college with, I am momentarily alarmed at how old they look. (Kristen Schaal and I are the same age, damnit, why does she look middle aged?! Oh...right...)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, meara!
People my age seem old to me, definitely. Looking in the mirror can be a bit startling on that front as well, though. Lately I have been noticing when the mother of the main character of a book (and who seems to the mc either ancient or, like, spry for her age) is younger than me and it's pretty frequent.
Not only am I older than Buffy Summers, I am also older than Rupert Giles. Probably the only BTVS character I'm younger than at this point is Anya.

Happy Birthday, meara!!! I hope you have a wonderful day.

I mean you’re younger than Spike and Angel too!

Don't insist too hard, she might just end up calling you "vieja."

Happy birthday, meara! I hope cupcakes and dancing turn out to be just the celebration you needed!

Happy Birthday, meara!
I hated the pruning job the new owners had done on the oak trees at the apartments where I lived in 2007. Beautiful, stately old oaks that shaded the entire westward facade of the building and they cut down every branch lower than 30 feet. Clearly their priority was making the building visible from the street to sell it rather than the views and cooling bills of tenants once they actually bought a unit.
I am glad that all the trees managed to survive despite losing half their foliage after a hot, dry summer.

My neighbor took out the apple tree that was in their front yard to park their boat there instead. It didn't give me any shade or for that matter apples, but I remember when it came up as a volunteer in the lawn and the then owners of the house just started mowing around it to give it a chance, so I'm a little sad that it's gone now.
