Happy Birthday Robert Burns
Happy Rabbie Burns day to one and all. I was just sitting here thinking that Rab's birthday must be the second most celebrated behind Jesus. Not bad for a "Ploughman Poet." I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Burns day, for those that have never gone to a Burns Night Dinner do yourself a favour and try to get to one. Our Burns Night has become the event of the year for us here, and quite a bit of fun, even with the drama of last minute plans and such.
And so I raise my glass to you the good members of X-MarkstheScot on this the 250th anniversary of Burns birth.
"If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say this or that even, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death."

Sláinte! 
Things I've learned in life:
What you focus on becomes your reality.
You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
Don't act your age, it's not healthy.
