Gung Hay Fat Choy!

"CatNipped" had some very interesting things
to say about Gung Hay Fat Choy!:

Not surprisingly, I was born in 1951 - the year of the cat!!! ; What
about you guys?

Not that you want to hear this, but you share a birth year with my
mother ;-).

I was born in August 1969, which according to the site you linked,
puts me in a rooster year [funny, about the only thing I like about
chickens is how they taste when cooked ;-)].

LOL! I didn't think to look up the cats. OK, Bandit - 1990 - is a horse,
Demi - 1999 - a cat, Jessie - 2000 - a dragon, and Sammy (LOL) - 2004 - a
*monkey*!!! DH, BTW - 1960 - is a rat.

We *think* Felix was born ca. 1993, which has him being a rooster like
Meowmie :-) [funny, it's Ava who decides to greet the morning at high
volume :-)].

DH, BTW, born Nov. 1962, came up a tiger.

I don't know if anyone else here is Chinese, but I'm 4th generation
Cantonese. My family has been here since the early 1900s.

My great-great-grandfather on my dad's side got a special exemption
certificate to come to the US (Cause the US had put a ban on Chinese
immigration at that time)

My great-great-grandfather on my mom's side came to Ensenada Mexico
and then snuck into San Diego on a fishing boat.

Normally I go all out and cook a feast, but i'm so busy this year, I
just ordered out.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy new year to you. It makes me feel old, this is the fourth year of
the Rooster I've lived through.

Well! I was born in the year of the Cat! ) I always thought it was the
year of the Rabbit. And it is... according to the explanations of the
years I found on that site, the year could be either Cat or Rabbit
depending on which system one is using.

Maybe it means that I'll have some spoiled pet bunny rabbits some day, to
go along with the pampered cats. )

I'm a cat too! Boyfriend is a horse.

I am Chinese living in Canada. M great grandfather and grandfather also
lived in U.S. But they eventually went back to China. I went to colleges
in U.S.

BTW, Gung Hay Fat Choy literally means Wishing you Good Fortune.

There was a special on Animal Planet last night about how the real animals
match up to the zodiac attributes. It was interesting, but I had to get to
bed, so I missed half of it.
