    Juju bee, misery, hatefulness, envy, are just a few of the poisons that we accommodate daily within us and deny business the opportunity to live and celebrate birthdays with friends and families. Maybe when YOU are celebrating a personal or family milestone next time, alert the news media and request coverage. If the general public is interested we’ll share and be happy for you! If not, then we’ll just say chuptz and scroll down. No need for public venting!
