they come fst enough donot rush them

My birthday is in four days.

MY next birthday is 7 or so years from now. Will be another year older, then.

Earl’s problem is that he is ageless

After a while the thrill is just gone, sorry!

There comes a time when another birthday only excites you for the obvious reason (it beats the other option hands-down).

Amen, Aussie!

When I was growing up it was always my Mom who got my Dad’s birthday wrong. Every year she asked me, “Is your Dad’s birthday the 15th or the 16th?” I always said it was the 16th, but she thought I was wrong and always celebrated it a day early! Dad shook his head and one year he got a bit angry, saying they had been married for 20 years and she still couldn’t remember his birthday. I finally bought her a metal calendar with family members’ birthdates engraved on it. That FINALLY solved that situation.

just to be pedantic we actually celebrate anniversaries of birthDATES. One can only celebrate their birthDAY about every 7 years on average. (my next is in 3 years)

Don’t worry Earl it’s just a touch of old age. Mine is June 13th

My birth “day” happens every week — it’s Wednesday.

I’m turning 20 in December. Not that I’m dreading it or anything….

Some people take all the fun out of interesting facts and make them silly. :-P

Or you could just forgedaboutit!

“A very merry unbirthday to you…”
