Title: A birthdays thread

Since someone's always having a birthday.

That someone is mighty selfish. Why are they always having a birthday? Why are they so special that it's always their birthday?

Don't we already have a thread like this? Pretty sure I remember it, because it was made right before my birthday one year. It's funny since this one is too, my birthday is on Monday.

It turns out the forum software has a feature to send out automated birthday email. I hate the idea but will hear out anything in its favor.

Mine is coming up really soon, on 4 May.  35.  Fucking shite.  I'm pretty much thinking of just ignoring the whole thing.  It's not like its a milestone or anything, just being another year older.

Danke.  I still have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but it might be fun.  Recently, I just found out that a friend shares the same birthday.  For some reason my brain went straight to the birthday problem.  Like how I have two exes who both share the exact same birth date.

This gives me pause, since that would mean you are legally old enough to be my son/daughter.

(Actually, I figured it out - August 1st of 2015 is "the day", technically.)

Today is the day my father in law turns 90. 

My wife and daughters went to surprise him, along with my sister in law (his other daughter). 

I had to stay home to work a few of my jobs and care for the animals. 

tried posting a photo of him from facebook, but as usual, I don't know what I'm doing...

I am, allegedly, 57 today.

This is clearly an error, since if it were possible it would have happened before.
Title: Re: A birthdays thread
Post by: pwhodges on 23 Oct 2018, 04:32
Are you still 57 today?  Then it has occurred before, and so has the ring of truth!

Many happy returns (or "sequential events", since the same birthday never returns except as a polite fiction...)

I wrote to a friend recently with a "Promise not to laugh" lead-in. I explained that I was going to a cuddle party, but since real ones were impossible I would address the need by picking a time as if it were a meetup and cuddling a giant stuffed dog (my wife was sheltering in another state at the time).

She said that the next time I arranged such a thing, she wanted me to tell her in advance so she could do the same at the same time together in spirit.

Everyone's invited to an imaginary cuddle party for my birthday. It's October 15, 8-9 PM PDT. Timeanddate.com will convert for you. If you want to "attend", snuggle a partner or pet or stuffed animal at that time while reflecting on everyone else doing the same with shared intent.

PDT is UTC-7, so eight hours behind my time zone (Berlin) - That's four in the morning for me.

I'll try to not-drop by later and think very hard about helping with the dishes.

Eight hours would be right for CET, but we're currently running CEST. So it's a nine hour difference, so 8-9PM PDT is 5-6AM CEST.

If I happen to be awake at that time (senile bed flight kicking in, maybe), I'll do a surrogate cuddle. Blanket or pillow are strong candidates for that.

Thank you for reminding me of this heros birthday.

I did my compulsory military service in the Bundeswehr from 1983 - 1984 in Koblenz and took part in the military exercise Able Archer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Archer_83).

Without Petrovs sane, measured reasoning I might have been dragged into the frontline of a nuclear war, with my home as the battle ground.

I actually forgot how much I own this guy.

Musical background recommendation for the occasion:

Now I better pester some people about appropriate russian drinking songs for his birthday.

Coincidentally, today I learned that I was born almost exactly nine months after the last above-ground nuclear test by the US (a nuclear-tipped Nike missile near the Marshall islands).

Probably just a coincidence.
