the best care and no stress of day to day struggles to survive you can be blessed with a long life. That being said. God Bless the Queen and if it's her birthday, Happy Birthday Liz!!!

then the "longest reigning British monarch" stuff will start.

Incidentally she does, really, have two birthdays. Her actual one today and the "official birthday" on a weekend in June, when there is likely better weather for parades and all that. A lot of the British monarchy have had this setup.
