Physically fit....HA HA HA HA HA...I think I'll pee my pants!

optimistic, wants to be financially independent, wants love and affection,
hates loneliness, passionate lover which cannot be satisfied, faithful,

---> Not so sure about the muscular part, although I am known for moving giant pieces of furniture around my house all by myself. I once took a queen mattress UP my zigzag stairs all by myself.
For sure, the "passionate lover which cannot be satisfied" part is dead on.
Actually, the whole thing, except the muscular thing (I'm so NOT muscular; eek!), is pretty much dead on.
Who writes these things?
I tried to find my husband and just feel compelled to point out there's an error in the birthday list; there's no February 29 listed -- a leap year birthday!!! I guess that makes Tim the "Nothing Tree."
Past Time BearsMaple Tree (Independence of Mind) -- no ordinary person, full of
imagination and originality, shy and reserved, ambitious, proud,
self-confident, hungers for new experiences, sometimes nervous, has many
complexities, good memory, learns easily, complicated love life, wants to
impress.
Hmmmmmm. Some fits, some doesn't.
Back Road BearsAw, poor Tim! He must be so young if he only has a birthday every 4 years! (I'm sorry ... probably heard that a hundred time!) What day do you celebrate his b'day on when it's not leap year? Perhaps go by that date???
Tim (if we assume Feb. 28 as his birthday; thanks Daphne) =
Pine Tree (Peacemaker) -- loves agreeable company, craves peace and
harmony, loves to help others, active imagination, likes to write poetry,
not fashion conscious, great compassion, friendly to all, falls strongly in
love but will leave if betrayed or lied to, emotionally soft, low self
esteem, needs affection and reassurance.
---> Just can't tell you how absolutely, eerily dead-on this is!
And yes... Tim loves to tell people that he's "only" 13, since his birthday comes only once every four years.
When he says that, I usually add, sorta mumbling, "... more like only TWO..."
I'm a poplar tree. Hmmn.

Cedar Tree (Confidence) -- of rare strength, knows how to adapt, likes
unexpected presents, of good health, not in the least shy, tends to look
down on others, self-confident, a great speaker, determined, often
impatient, likes to impress others, has many talents, industrious, healthy
optimism, waits for the one true love, able to make quick decisions.
How ironic. I'm allergic to the pollen from cedar trees! Two points here though I'd like to clarify. 1) Likes unexpected presents - I like to GIVE unexpected presents!! 2) Tends to look down on others - I actually tend to put people on a pedestal. However, the fall from grace through dishonesty or hurtful actions oftentimes leads me to look down upon the fallen.
Otherwise, this is spot on! My one true love and I have been married 25 years and my Pollyana with the rose colored glasses shines brightly! (Pollyana? That's my healthy optimism....in case you were wondering!)
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

hates loneliness, passionate lover which cannot be satisfied, faithful, quick-tempered at times, can be unruly and careless, loves to gain knowledge, needs to be needed.
Well, I guess so, but I didn't realize I was so high-maintenance!
Aren't cypress trees sort of droopy-looking? I can see that.
As for muscle . . . like Shelli, I've moved very heavy stuff upstairs when I got tired of waiting on the menfolk.
Actually, when even they couldn't get a monster ugly sofa downstairs, I sawed off the arm, moved it down fairly easily, then reattached the arm with steel plates and screws. Since I never quite finished reattaching the upholstery, it's now serving as a secondary rabbit hutch.
