I turned the big 40 on Tuesday, so as soon as i opened up my face book all i could see was loads of inbox messages as well as comments wishing me happy birthday as well as people inviting themselves to mine for a drink, as alot of the close friends that i have on there know i can not go out due to health problems.I have been trying to catch up with everyone on there, but it seems to take forever.I never really bother much with face book, but i thought i would go on there and play a few word games against a friend, abit like i do on here.The only thing is that i have alot of friends on there and no sooner have i left a message for one person, i get another two people wanting a message,lol.

Hiya jugs,
Happy Birthday to you then. I did´nt know that either will try to remember that one.
Glad that you have a lot of Friends everywhere too.
It does take time to keep answering everyone on Facebook yes.
I had some Birthday wishes too on there but not too many as I don´t have a lot of Family that keep in touch.
Did you get lots of presents? Well I am being a bit nosy there but I hope you got the best presents and the ones that you wanted in particular.
I had been asking for a decent pair of headphones but they did not alas "listen" to my ideas and thoughts (grin).
Are you better now that is the best Gift you can have too.
All I can send you are my best wishes albeit three Days too late.xxx

Hiya jugs,
Yes I don´t blame you as it can get to be overwhelming a bit. I go on there a few minutes a Day because I have no other way of being directly in touch with People of Wolverhampton you see.
When you have no other way of contact you do all you can to be there for anyone that might want to know what´s going on as well sort of like a Beacon of light. "Out Of Darkness Cometh Light" Wolverhampton Motto.

I had a birthday ten days ago and got bombarded with friends wishing me happy birthday as well. Last year I think I just did a thank you post to everyone a day or two later, but this year I decided to reply to each well wisher individually. Well that took a while! 
Just when I thought I was done at the end of the day, I had twice as many the next day when all the people in the UK and USA that are in time zones a day behind me got the notification and posted. Then there were those who posted late as well. It was great to get all the messages, but it took me some time to respond to them all!

Yes, i got a lot of messages in facebook when they know about my birthday. Mt whole wall was flooded with their wishes, as well as my inbox. HOwever, i did not reply to them all, except for a few of my close friends and the initial few whom i don't really know well. As i did not know facebook has got such a feature of reminding friends, i thought someone leaked my birthday, as i don't want too many people to know about it.

Hi Jugsjugs,
First of all Belated wishes of your birthday. Yes facebook is a real place ot hang out and make friends. Also it shows your birthday to everyone in your friends list so there is no problem of having not known. If you are interacting with person on Face book then they become close friends. I usually use Facebook to play Farm Ville and chat a few friends. Though I find Face book more better place ot hang out then here, and its games are addicting , but it helps me get in touch with even my old friends whom I have not seen for more than a year or so.

Thank you.There are alot of my friends that do not go on face book any more, just like me, just peeek in once in a while, but it was nice to see how many people sent wishes.I am on other sites as well as face book so nowadays that is where we all hang out nowadays.I pop into face book once in a while to get any messages from friends.

Belated happy birthday Jugs! Hope you had
a great one. It's good to see lots of birthday
greetings in Facebook on our special day.
Although we know that Facebook system reminds
our friends that it is our birthday, it still
feels good that they spent a bit of time to
post comments and greetings on our wall.

The big 4-0 now that is a milestone that I have a few years to wait to hit. However, belated happy birthday wishes are in order for you. That said, I have noticed that when it comes to facebook, when it is your birthday you get messages from almost everyone wishing you a happy birthday. This even goes so far as to say that you get birthday greetings from friends of yours that you never talk to through the rest of the year.

Hi, Jugsjugs and happy birthday! I think that 40 is a special age, the blossom of a life. Be happy, enjoy it as much as you can. And facebook is a great place after all, especially when you see how many friends you have. I wish you a good luck!

Happy belated b-day, at the big 4-0 . Hope it was great, as it sounds like it was good. I used to get flooded so much on mu b-day that by the time I got through them all it was Halloween then Thanskgiving, then got a flood again, by the time I got through them all it was Christmas lol... It sure it neat to see all those happy b-days roll in. I used to always post the youtube Casey Jones Happy birthday song.. but then facebook thought I was spamming.. so I stopped :)

Congratulations..........and belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, along with the kazillion HB wishers. Thankfully for you, we can't all come around, and wish you the best in person, you would have a houseful for a year! Hopefully the good news from your husband's tests made it an even better birthday...and must admit, my 40th birthday was my best ever!@jugsjugs (12967)

Happy Belated Birthday! Did turning 40 bother you? I know it does a lot of people. I am well past that now. It didn't bother me at all. I don't care about my age, just my weight for some reason. I am not overweight, so I don't know why that bothers me. I have a facebook account, but I don't go on it often. It is nice to get the wishes from a lot of people, especially if you can't get out much. It is nice to know someone remembered! Again, Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day.

Thank you.Turning 40 did not bother me, as i had a bet with a few people that are my age now that they would be a grandmother before they were 40 and that i would not,lol, i won that one.I do not really go on face book alot nowadays as over the past year or so it has become rather boring.I am trying to keep my weight down, it is hard.I did have a great birthday thank you, also i have managed to respond to all the messages that i got, at last.

Happy Birthday! But ya I understand how you feel. It is hard to respond to everyone that sends you birthday wishes. Because Facebook lets everyone know who is a friend on your page that it is your birthday, you may get bday wishes from people who you havent talked to in years and they are just stopping by to say happy birthday.
