Do you still remember the birthdays of your friends? I have two closest friends, one form my high school and one from college and after them I have a closer friends, 3 from high school and 5 or more from college. My closer friend from college celebrated her birthday last October and I was really confused if it is on the 8th or on the 7th. When I am still single I really could not remember if it is on the 8th or 7th Then I got pregnant with my first born and my due date then was October 17 and when I told it to her, she says it is closer to her birthday, that is October 7, from then on whenever comes October I would always think of that, that her birthday is somewhat same on my due date with my first born( turns out my first born birthday is October 24 but luckily I can still remember my due date ). My best friend from high school I know her birthday, what a coincidence that the cousin I hate is of same birthday to her. So come April 13, one I wish happy birthday and one I wish a miserable one . And for my other friends, I still remember their birthdays and sometimes I forgot to greet them. There was a time that I anticipate a friend's birthday but when it comes I forgot to greet her. [b] So how about you guys? Do you still know your friend's birthday? Do you still call and greet them and give gifts to them?[/b]

I can memorize the birthdays of my best friend and friends in the office. We do not forget each others birthday, we always celebrate when it comes. But I have friends from my childhood that I forgot the birthdays. Maybe, because it was too long ago that we haven't had any communication. Since we have reached each other now through the net, I will ask my great old friends' birthdays so that I could greet them.

I have a small group of friends that I made in high school most of them are good friends even though they are proving to not be very good friends because most of them owe me money,and they only come around when they want or need something which is not the way a friend should act,and me and my fiance usually try to avoid them as much as possible,and out of the good friends I remember that one of them was born on July 1st,one was born on March 18,one was born on August 20th I believe and I remember those because I have always had a good memory,and me and my fiance have two friends who are becoming good friends,I am not really sure when their birthdays are because we do not hang out with them allot,but we are trying to hang out with them more often now,and I have two best friends one of course is my fiance who I love with all my heart and soul,and I remember her birthday is on July 8th,and my other best friend is a guy I met in school,he would do anything for me,and I would do anything for him,and I remember his birthday is February 3rd,which is my birthday to except I am three years older than him.

I remember my friends birth date, even the friends I knew as a child. I don't communicate with them, because as an army brat, we traveled around so much, that I lost touch. But even after all these years, their birth dates are more familiar to me then my own.

Yes, I still know my friends' birthdays. I have lots of friends from High School, College and work and I know all their birthdays. I got to memorize them all but before I did, I used to have this calendar booklet just for listing my family and friends' birthdays. I sometimes become called the walking calendar among the group, I just don't know if it is a compliment or not. Nevertheless, my friends believed that I am the most thoughtful person they know. I was so happy to hear that from them. Anyway, I really don't give gifts to all of them. I just email, text or call them to greet them all, or maybe post a birthday message in their Friendster. Just to share, my grandmother who is already 82 years old knows all her children's, grandchildren's, great grandchildren's, and relatives up to the 3rd degree's birthdays. And even our neighbors'! Also the day and time we were born. She's a lot better than me in remembering coz she knows too much!

I have just one good friend since high school. I know her birthday so well because it is just 4 days earlier than mine. Yes we still have contact and in fact sending gift to each other during our birthdays. I also have some more good friends mostly churchmates. I keep a record of their birthdays because I can't remember them all. I always text greetings as the birthday of anyone of them comes and I just hand my gift at night when usually a dinner to celebrate the birthday is prepared.

I do know the birthdays of my closest friends from grade school and high school and college. I greet them, of course, because I want them to know that I still adore them and cherish their friendship to this day.

I remember the birthdays of all my high school classmates, believe it or not. I am such into dates and even the little special moments of my life, I remember them all. I greet and give gifts to my girl best friends, and we even celebrate bdays together. On those high school classmates who do not know my bday, I dont bother greeting them but of course I still know their bdays.

I still remember the birthday of my best friend in high school. I even remember the birthday of my youth group leader when I was a teeanger. And of course I can remember my immediate family's birthdays. I also remembered my best friend's birthday, which is the day before Halloween. I guess it makes it easier to remember hers.

I have two best friends from Childhood and I can definitely remember their birthday. One is on January 10 which was easy to remember for me because my birthday is on January 15. The other one her birthday was on October 8. The thing that I miss most of the time is greeting them Happy Birthday even with just a text message. . Tsk tsk . I don't know I just keep on forgetting it. Maybe because a lot of things are clouding my mind. I wasn't like this before. I always greet them even if I don't have a gift for them.

To be ashamed, I just know the b-days of few of my friends, even the most close ones. we rarely spend birthdays together nor give presents, but i think it is better to remember their b-days from now on.

O yes, I always try to remember all my friends' birthday. On that day, I will either email them text message or at times I will email them e-card which is faster. I tends to forget dates sometimes especially when I'm busy so I always write all my friends date in a small booklet. Some I jotted them on my calender so every morning when I sit down - that's the first thing I see.. For some very close friends, we make it a point to go out and spend some time together. Usually for lunch or dinner....
