I have been sharing this list with people and preface #6 with I totally don't believe this one, but ... I LOVE birthdays, mine and everyone else's. I love making a big deal out of them. It's your day you should get to celebrate, and everyone should worship you for that day! I actually tend to celebrate the whole month of September though ... I start celebrating at my half birthday and then don't really stop until about a week after my real birthday. :groovy:

I just got these from my Canadian coach: "Do Canadians have a sense of humor?" img.photobucket.com/.../firehazard.jpg www.jibjab.com/.../57326 That first photo was seriously funny. Why haven't all the Canadians on this forum come to laugh? Why are there so many Canadians on a US forum? Not that I don't like them; they're very funny and I'd like to meet them. I guess they don't have their own joke/advice column.

Okay, I actually loved number 6. But I have to take a big time issue with number 5, the birthday one. What I have found in all of my years is this: if I am not celebrating my birthday, then I am dead. Bad alternative. (LOL).

If you like Dave Berry he has at least a couple of books I've read that are a Hoot! Check 'em out if you haven't already.

I think Ronald Reagan stopped celebrating birthdays at 39, at which point he merely celebrated the anniversary of his 39th birthday.

I always like to say "There is only one thing that we can all know for certain...nothing is for certain". Dumb, I know...but it is so true so often.

What I have found in all of my years is this: if I am not celebrating my birthday, then I am dead. Bad alternative. (LOL). Donna I'm with you! I think birthdays should be a big deal! Mine and others' Here are some reasons why: --What you said. --We get closer to and sometimes even enter a higher age group, and those of us *ahem* of a certain age rather like this as we age up a bit further. --People take us out for drinks and give us cool stuff sometimes. But (think of this especially during the holidays when it also applies...), a major reason would be... --Cake and ice cream, ordinarlily loaded with calories, are calorie free when eaten at a birthday party, either yours or someone you care about (because it would be just so wrong to let a birthday boy or girl eat cake and ice cream alone). So the Calorie Distribution Bureau declares Calorie Amnesty at such times.

Another one by Dave: "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." ~ Dave Barry
