Description:

I got an e-mail today about the different chinese years so decided it might be a fun swap

you will have one partner and you will choose 5 items for the year your partner was born

this could be confusing but to make it simple put the year you were born in the subject line below and your partner will use that year to choose your items use this chart

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0002076.html

find the year your partner was born ingore the from / to section just use the year for example

if you partner was born in

1900 then its the year of the rat 1901 year of the ox 1902 year of the tigar and so on

after you find the year you can click on the animal and it will take you to a page with information about that year

you can also google for more info

now that you have your partners year find or make them 5 nice items that fit the theme you don't have to use the animial as the main focus for all of the items you can find or make something that is special about that year

be creative and have fun make sure you send items that you would love to recieve.

rules

must put birth year below before sign up

at least a 4.7 or higher

no recent no sends if you have one you can't resolve or are working on pm me

no newbies

USA Only

value should be around 10 dollars but if you want to make all of your items thats fine to just make sure they are nice, ATC's are I nice extra but don't count as one of the five

aim for hearts

and have fun

I just joined, sounds neat!

I just went to that link and I can view the Chinese Calender but when I double click on the different animals in the grid it only takes me to a "definitions" type page with definitions about horses (my year).

Is there another link?

daffyd1963 01/11/2008 #

no they just have the info and one image but if you google year of the horse you should get plenty of info and images remember they don't all have to be repersenting the animial but can repersent something special about that year

This sounds like fun. My birth year is 1968, year of the monkey.

kawaiibuttons 01/11/2008 #

1962 Year of the Tiger. I am from Alabama and I am a fan of the Auburn Tigers. I look good in blue and orange!!!

Kristipye 01/11/2008 #

This sounds like fun! Mine is 1959--year of the pig.

  1. Year of the Monkey

BTW. The Chinese New Year begins on the first day of the first lunar month, which happens in February, so people born before then are the previous calendar year's animal.

hellovader 01/11/2008 #

My birth year is 1968. Not sure why it erased that part. Oh well.

LuldaCasadaga55 01/11/2008 #

I was born in 1955....year of Ram/Goat

daffyd1963 - I believe 1963 was rabbit!

Artistic 01/11/2008 #

I was born in the Year of the Tiger.

daffyd1963 01/11/2008 #

yep your right 1963 is year of the rabbit I remember looking at it that I type the wrong thing thanks for letting me know.

fivecats1 01/13/2008 #

I was born in 1969, Year of the Rooster.

stacirose 01/13/2008 #

Exactly, hellovader! Great to point out!

My birthday is February 4th, 1975. I always thought I was the year of the rabbit until I found out the Chinese Calendar New Year didn't start that year until around the 19th!

I am actually the year of the Tiger! :)

Very kool link, Yorkiemom! I guess, I am:

THE WOOD TIGER The Wood Tiger is more adaptable to working with others and therefore does not demonstrate the typical "take charge" attitude of other Tigers. The Wood element adds stability, giving him warmth of character that draws people in and makes the Tiger a popular person. They are not selfish creatures and will give their time, attention or possessions to anyone in need. These Tigers bring a solid practicality to any problem. They can control their urges to completely take over, letting others do the work. They must be aware of their slightly volatile tempers and short attention spans, and not let those characteristics get the best of them or cause them or their loved ones undue pain.

(This site also has links for each horoscope and shows which element your birth year represents as well!)
