birthdays

Oh, happy happy happy birthday, mariacim!

I don't know why, but as of this moment, I've started thinking of you as 'mariacim'. Some explanation: the -cim is a Turkish suffix that is often added to names or terms of endearment. It roughly translates as "my dear", so "mariacim" means "my dear maria". It's pronounced -jim, as in the English name Jim.

That is so sweet, I just love it!

Happy Birthday, mariacim! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Tomorrow is my birthday.

Yikes! I don't know how to follow Derrel. But let me be the first to congratulate you a happy birthday on your birthday (at least in the Pacific time zone).

On a side note comedian Demitri Martin has a bit about giving flowers to people. He says something to the effect - here are some flowers, now watch them die. So giving flowers is like reminding people of their mortality. He says it way funnier than I can retell it.

Happy Birthday.

At some point in my life is I had hopes that my birthday would be a national holiday, that beautiful women would throw themselves at me just so they could say they had slept with me and that important and powerful people would ask my opinion, even if it wasn't needed just to be in my aura.

At this point it is possible all that may not happen.

If my birthday falls on a weekday, I treat myself by not going to the gym.
My favorite present is my wife not having any chores for me and my children calling.
My favorite single moment is when I see other guys, my age, in the gym and realize how crappy they look compared to me - a kind of by comparison. - a kind of schadenfreude.

I pay attention to them, especially the milestone ones.

I recently lost my Dad, and one of the questions I get is "How old was her?"

He was 80.

He had 80 great years. He had 80 great summers, which included boating on the Hudson and fishing off of Montauk. He had 80 great winters of skiing in Vermont and shoveling his driveway. He had 80 great Christmases surrounding by a loving family. He welcomed in 80 new years, many of them with revelry and a beer in his hand. In 80 years he was a sailor during a war, a New York State Trooper and an Exxon driver. In 80 years he had two sons and three wives, a granddaughter and a grandson.

When I go, I'd like someone to answer in a similar fashion as opposed to saying "Hmmmm... Not really sure"...

Be 51 in March, So B-Days just remind me I am getting old.

Me too. I also forget how old I am. My mind is still fairly immature.

People my age seem old to me.

You got a younger wife right? That is the secret right there.

Yep wife is 43 but looks way younger.Thats a good thing for us oldies.

Actually the same age. I can only imagine how out of control I would be with a younger wife.

Jaca, I would make your head spin.

Mmaria, happy birthday! I personally can easily ignore mine, but what makes them special for me are the notes of love that I get from my wife, my daughters, and the rest of the family. They (my family that is) are the reason why going around ol sol one more time is worth it.

 

[mmaria]

I'm giving lots of hugs here and now

Happy Birthday, mariacim! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Well it wasn't wonderful and awesome bday, but it was ok really. The day started nicely. I found the present on mirror. Hb bought me a perfume.
After seeing Derrel's cake I started to bake a cake I love, with my children. We made a chaos in the kitchen! But in the moment when I needed some eggs, they weren't good enough, so I got nervous because I was already in the groccery store and I gave up! I made it an hour ago.

We agreed to make a bbq with few friends on the place they'll be fishing. The weather was awful, freezing and wind was strong. We almost didn't do it. We thought that the people there have bbq, they had something else (don't know proper Englis word for that)
The trouble is that I rarely, rarely eat meat and in my surrounding everyone loves meat. I always carry vegetables trying to convert them I don't eat pork and they bought lots of pork. I bought lots of vegetable. At the end they all eat vegetable with a bit of chicken breasts and they couldn't eat pork, they left it for tomorrow. I snapped just a few photos. I need to transfer them from my camera so I can show you that vegetables can be great

Derrel, honestly, I saw this this morning when I woke up, but couldn't reply anything because my phone and forum don't get along. I can't type anything... Anyway, when I saw the cake I realize that I totally forgot about making the real cake (not saying that yours is not real but you know what I mean ) so, thank you for the cake and reminding me that I need to bake one for my birthday! Thank you for making me pretty in your cartoon! That was a really nice gift, I'll save it to my computer (my hair is dark red, do you allow editing on this? ) :hug::

Yikes! I don't know how to follow Derrel. But let me be the first to congratulate you a happy birthday on your birthday (at least in the Pacific time zone).

EOV, I really appreciate you congratulating! but... on the other side....where are those flowers!? Gimme flowers! I like them while they last! :hug::
