It's basically happy New Year.

I was born in the year of the horse.

So is my husband...





I'm born in Jan 60. I'm a pig....



An apparently the year of the pig is good news for horses... not so good for us piggies.

Just be careful to avoid pitfalls.

March is going to be my worst month...





But I'm trying to shake off the bad news knowing my husband is going to have good luck.

He's getting a divorce?

My mom was born in '60 too. She had just turned 16 when she had me.

Happy year of the pig, oink oink.  I'll celebrate the year with extra bacon and some pork loins.



My year is year of the dragon.  I found that out when I was a kid visiting Chicago's Chinatown.  Don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing, but I always thought it was cool.

Koreans call it Lunar New Year, never Chinese New Year.

That's not what I meant, but I agree with that..



Having  a child at sixteen....babies having babies..



I apologize if I seem judgmental, but that is the reality of high school student mothers.

I know it's off topic, but since the discussion  took a turn, I thought folks might find  this interesting.



TOKYO — Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has reluctantly apologized for saying childless people are to blame for the country's rising social security costs and its aging and declining population.



"If it made some people feel uncomfortable, I apologize," Aso said Tuesday after drawing complaints over a comment he made over the weekend at a seminar in Fukuoka, his constituency in southwestern Japan.



The gaffe-prone Aso, a 78-year-old former prime minister, is among conservative lawmakers in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government who've at times blamed the elderly or childless for long-term demographic trends. "There are lots of strange people who say the elderly people are to blame, but that is wrong. The problem is those who don't have children," he told the audience.



The comment was nearly the same as one he made in 2014 that also drew criticism. Others have made similar comments that many found offensive. In 2007, former health minister Hakuo Yamagisawa called women "birth-giving machines." In 2017, another senior ruling party lawmaker, Akiko Santo, said the government should consider awarding women who produced four or more children.



According to the latest government statistics, the number of births in 2018 fell to 921,000, the lowest since Japan began recording such statistics in 1899. Japan's total population fell by 448,000 people, a record decline, to 126 million.
