I don’t mind them if I don’t have to fuss over them.

Good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

oh please…your what…26 now?

I just turned 31 last Thursday…cry somewhere else Emo boy :stuck_out_tongue:

The older you get, the more birthdays you have. I’ve noticed.

Then quit having them. We quit having birthdays ages ago. We still buy each other presents, we’re not stupid. They’re just not birthday presents.

Funny, I’ve been at it for a good while now, and as far as I can tell, birthdays still only come one to a customer, and then only once a year. I don’t care for the idea of not having any more. It’s not like they are the cause of my gray hairs and wrinkles. :smiley: Those things are around me all the time! :laughing:

But birthdays are fun. It’s your day. You get cake, presents, don’t have to do anything you don’t want to… well they use to be like that many birthdays ago.

Have a gud’en. :party:

I don’t like a big deal being made of my birthday, but it sure beats the alternative.

(no more birthdays cuz you’re dead)

Six-ty candles
Make a lovely light
But not as bright
As your thighs tonight … um … no, that’s not right … :boggle:

My 21st birthday is coming up this August. I’m anxious, a little. I mean, I assume being 21 is pretty cool, but when’s the next landmark birthday? Once you’ve hit 16, then 18, then 21… what else is there?

In the old days the legal voting age where I live was 35.

Well that doesn’t mean much to me. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have mixed feelings about birthdays. For some, it is painful when no one remembers. For others, it is a reminder of their own mortality. Some don’t like being the center of attention and a big party is worse than no one remembering. Like that thread about things to say at a funeral, nothing will please everyone, and some people will get upset at the most innocuous and most generous of gestures.

A Dutch friend has a good attitude about birthdays. From what I understand, in that culture, birthdays are a full day event. All friends and family that are able to share parts of that day, honoring the life that person has built. Again, this can be painful if the life isn’t what was planned, or not many people are in the circle.

I like my birthday. Even if it does come almost a month after Christmas and all the good presents are picked over, and the stores haven’t restocked because they haven’t done inventory yet. :laughing:

18

My next big day was my wedding day. Now that’s the anniversary we celebrate.

19

Hm. 36 isn’t all that different from 21. It just hurts a bit more. :smiley:

He’s only 26? I would have thought he was a bit older.

I love the picture!
