When your next birthday comes, how will you spend it?

Me too! LOL

Hello Hatley, it's always nice hearing from you. I hate to think that you are stuck there in a retirement home but it sure does sound like you all be having a pretty good time over there. Did you happen to read my poem that I posted here on the mylot site? Please look under my discussion. "If I were a nursing home Administrator" I hope you will enjoy it and please be sure to leave some comments. Anyways I have a few older friends that I try to help bring some joy into their lives. Mind you I'm almost certain that they got their own ways of having fun on the side going on whenever I'm not around but anyways, thank you very much Hatley for reminding me about it. B/c I need to get in touch with one of them very soon. I'd hate to think that the poor lady one is stuck here with few friends and family around. Heck if I hadn't of found mylot there's no telling what I'd be doing by now, they might have had to come and lock me away in a crazy house. Hee hee hee, Just kidding friend. Anyways you take care over there and maintain your sense of humor and trust and believe that God will see you through. Keep the faith alwaysHappy mylot! PS: Don't forget to read my poem and let me know how you like itGood night dear!

Thanks for sharing my friend, yes I know what you mean, a small intimate dinner is always very nice, with the person that you care about. But if they want to do like a surprise get together at home and have presents and friends all around, that would be very nice to. I guess the important thing is that somebody recognizes that we were born on that special day. Even if no gifts are passed around it seems like the older we get, the less extravagant. So in most cases a simple happy birthday would do.

Yeah I know what you mean Angrykitty, birthdays aren't really such a big deal in alot of families. Mine was the same way. Nowadays we celebrate if we have something to celebrate with but if not we just tell the person happy birthday then keep right on going. But for the small kiddies we always try to do something even if it's only to cook a cake and have some ice-cream! Thanks for responding

Hello, hey, ladyblonde, you are a very practical person just like myself, I'm very pleased to meet you. Please be sure to add me as a friend and thank you very much for the link, I will be sure to check it out. I personally don't believe that we should go all out when it comes to celebrating birthdays simply because it can tend to get a bit too expensive. Even if we just do the bare minimum for others. A card and a birthday cake can still run you over ten dollars these days and that's if you decide to cook the cake yourself. So I just try to be practical and use wisdom.Thanks for responding................ CC!

What a nice way to spend ur birthday Tastheone, I know the lady love of your life will be very happy to spend time with you. She would be one lucky girl whoever she is. Well I'm sure you will have a few drinks so have one on me the next time you decide to celebrate your birthday and remember that however we choose to celebrate them is a very personal choice. Cheers!

Hey lologirl, your birthday sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. I hope that it turns out to be everything that you're hoping it will be and even more. I'll have one coming up this year too and I'm hoping to be able to spend it doing something kind of big. But sense we can't talk about landmarks up here then I won't bother to go into the details. Anyways, thanks for sharing and enjoy your birthday!
