Jess-ey from Ohio is also celebrating a birthday today. Since I figure she is the younger of today's celebrants I have posted the Historical things on Panter91's birthday wishes and have put the celebrities here on Jess-ey's.

Today HScott13 a lady pharmacist from Cornwall is celebrating her birthday. Hmmm Cornwall, I have to admit I'm not sure where that is in England, but I wonder if she knows Freddy Pharkas from Yorkshire as he was also a pharmacist, if I remember correctly?
Hi Vlerma!!
I was and still am a pharmacist. I doubt she'd know me as Cornwall is about 5 hours drive from here. I was there on holiday/vacation earlier in the year though. Plus Freddy Pharkas is a pseudonym I took from a 90s computer game, Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist so I'd be really shocked if she recognised me from that!!!
Happy birthday to all in September (including me!) and belatedly to my fellow pharmacist HScott13 for last month.
How did Darth Vader know what Luke Skywalker had got for his birthday? He had felt his presents!
Oldie but ..... mouldy

Oh My Gosh! Freddy, how the heck are you? Have missed you here on Braingle. How ironic, last night I was working on a Crossword puzzle and the clue was, "What was Darth Vader's real name?" Well now I know he was Skywalker's dad, but Skywalker did not fit in the spaces - so I guess I will have to try mouldy (English version) of moldy to see if that works. LOL You know Freddy, I still think your avatar is one of the most interesting. You have had it forever and a day. Will make sure I get you along with the other September birthdays and thanks for extending your wishes. Hugs.

(And just a note from Grayma V, my computer is acting up and I have put up the celebrities who share your birthday now 4 times and for some reason it is wiping that part of my greeting to you out before I can get it all transferred to the community area. I have been trying since yesterday afternoon and today is your birthday so I am putting out what I have and hope you will forgive me. Maybe I can get it working later and I will do a PS to your birthday wish. LOL Sorry.)

Two birthday girls today, September 15th, Ezhilsaha from India and dangerouspie101 from the United States. Her byline reads, "Don't believe in anything until it has been officially denied.
What happened in this old world on September 15th for the past century? Well I have tried to come up with some of the headlines that were tossed around during that time. Not knowing what year you girls were born in, I probably have not landed on the years that you were born, but we do try to protect your privacy a little bit here on Braingle. Tell me, did I get anywhere close to an actual birth date for either of you?

CHARLOTTES-ODD a young lady from England is celebrating her birthday today, September 19th. So Braingleland come and help me wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Her signature line reads: David Bowie does what David Bowie does because David Bowie IS David Bowie. Ok, everyone have that? David Bowie IS David Bowie. Shucks, no more Ziggy Stardust anymore? Awww!
So here is a list of things that have happened in history on this date:
September 19, 1928 Mickey Mouse's screen debut (Steamboat Willie at Colony Theater NYC)
1934 Bruno Hauptmann arrested for kidnapping the Lindbergh baby.
1946 The first Cannes Film Festival is held.
1955 Juan Peron, president of Argentina since 1946, was deposed and exiled in a military coup.
1969 John Lennon leaves The Beatles but does not make a public announcement
1979 Lee Iacocca is elected president of the Chrysler Corporation.
1984 The popular American sitcoms The Cosby Show and Who's The Boss? premiere on NBC and ABC respectively.
1995 "The Washington Post publishes the ""Unabomber's Manifesto."""
2000 The British MI6 Secret Intelligence Service building was attacked by a Russian-built Mark 22 anti-tank missile
Celebrities who share your birthdate with you, charlottes-odd are:

Adam West, 86, who BIFFed and POWed his way to fame as ABC's Batman from 1966 to 1968, and has since returned to provide voices in various animated superhero series.
David McCallum, 8, the Scottish actor who became known as secret agent Illya Kuryakin on the 1960s television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and as Dr. Donald Mallard on NCIS. I personally love him in NCIS.
Jeremy Irons, the 66 year old English actor who became known for his sinister vocal performance as Scar in The Lion King, and played the villainous Simon in Die Hard With A Vengeance.
Trisha Yearwood. 50, country singer who is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and who released "She's In Love With The Boy" in 1991. It was her first #1 single, but not her last high-profile track. She is Mrs. Garth Brooks.
Lita Ford, 56, lead guitarist of The Runaways in the late 1970s who went on to pursue a successful solo career. She is fun to watch in concert.
Paul Williams, 74, Academy Award-winning songwriter known for We've Only Just Begun, Evergreen, Rainy Days and Mondays, and many others 1970s standards. He wrote hits for Three Dog Night, the Carpenters, Barbra Streisand, Helen Reddy, and Kermit the Frog and he is from my home state of Nebraska.
Bill Medley, also 74, he performed "Unchained Melody" with his singing partner Bobby Hatfield, as a member of the Righteous Brothers.
His hit song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was produced by Phil Spector.
Nile Rodgers, 62, Musician and producer who helped produce the self-titled album for Diana Ross and also worked with David Bowie, Duran Duran, Madonna, and Adam Lambert.
Ok, now I again must offer my sincerest apology for not getting this posted on the proper date. September has been a very busy month, not just at home, but also in Braingle. I do hope, charlottes-odd, that you had a very happy birthday with family, friends, and loved ones and feel very blessed. God willing and the creek doesn't rise, I will try to do better next year. Hugs Grayma V

FreddyPharkas, a pharmacist in Yorkshire, UK, is one of my oldest, not eldest, friends on Braingle - since 2006 - 8 years. Freddy believes that if you give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to use a rod, and he will sit in a boat and drink liquid all day. Teach him to use the net and he will sit at his computer on Braingle all day.
His birthday was yesterday, September 22, 2014, and due to a stupid thing I did I had to keep a wounded leg up all day, which meant very little computer. I thought I had the birthdays all caught up, but I was wrong. Just checked though and Freddy hasn't logged on for several days, too busy again so please forgive me, Sir. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDYPHARKAS!!!
What happened in History on September 22?

Thanks Radioguy. Always appreciated. And Zonahobo's birthday was on the 27th too, and I always appreciated his visits. However Zona hasn't been around on Braingle for quite a while now. When I saw you wished him Happy Birthday I thought Gee, how could I have missed Zona? Fact is a couple years ago I made a special birthday card for him, sort of like I did yours, Only he was fishing on a bank. I still have him on my friend's list, but for some reason I missed him on my birthday list. He has been gone for over a year, but Zonahobo, if you do stop by know that I and Brainglers all wish you a very Happy Birthday. Hugs.
