Fenton, is it your f*cking birthday today

Anyway, I hope you had a good one. Whenever it was!

Re: Fenton, is it your f*cking birthday today
Nope.
Why would a grown ass adult have a 31st birthday party?

Was it Tuesday?
I hate you.

It is really not my birthday today.
I have a friend-couple who throw parties every year for each other and every time I get invited I think, WTF is wrong with you?! No one cares if you're turning 27!
I am ok with milestones, but 31? COMMON.
This is going to sound douchey, but I have a lot of acquaintance-friends. I'm not saying most of them even like me, but I know a lot of people well enough that I would end up being invited and pity invited to birthday parties every goddam weekend if everyone did this. Thankfully, the great majority of people do not.
flaaaaaaame away!

This has actually been my experience (though I didn't start until 32) - Winged is smart. Now you have something to celebrate.
My philosophy is that all birthdays, especially those approaching and after 30, should be celebrated. Otherwise, it's effing depressing. Party on, dude.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!

You don't have to have an actual party and invite all these acquaintences and their damn kids. Go get crunk with some people you like spending time with and make them drive you home and take care of you.
Maybe I just like celebrating birthdays because I like the attention.
ETA a missing phrase.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Can't she just thank you on here? Or FB? Who writes notes?! Am I rude? The only time I've written thank you notes was for my wedding and shower gifts.

I'm on Fenton's Sofa named Emmett conveniently located on the northeast end of Cali's vagina. Birthday parties suck the life out of life, especially when they happen too often.
Happy not birthday hoobs.

Lordy. Grow some balls and stop lurking. It's like stealing from the internet. Jesuschrist. -- AudreyHorne
I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin
It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
adult b-day parties are lame unless it's a "biggie" like 40 and being thrown by someone else like a spouse. We had a nice little family BBQ for John's 30th this year.
However, I do go out with girlfriends for dinner every year for my b-day (and on theirs too, of course), but it's very low key.
I don't know. She's some kind of freak weirdo. I don't send thank you notes and giggle when people send them to me, even for occasions where they're called for. I think they're silly.

I'm kind of obsessive about thank you notes. I send them for everything.
I see my birthday as an excuse to have a BBQ. This year I just went out for drinks with people. I love birthday drinks!
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I send thank you notes for wedding and baby gifts; that's about it. Now I'm wondering if I haven't noted something appropriately in the past.
I will make my kid write Thank Yous for b-day gifts, etc. I hated doing it as a child but it's a rite of passage. You tell your kid to write them, they whine and complain and drag their feet, then you threaten to send back the gift because they're an ungrateful brat, and then the kid breaks down and stubbornly writes the notes. It's the circle of life.
Drinks and chips with insufficient dip.

I like celebrating my birthday. I don't have a big party or anything. We just get a small group together and either go out to eat or have them over for dinner. Then, we have cake and play games or something.
I'm on the bandwagon that thinks any excuse to have cake is a good one.
Happy birthday!
I only write TYs if I don't have the chance to thank people in person.
You whore. I thought you were talking about my BBQ last year and I was like LISTEN HERE, HO, I WAS EATING WING DIP AND BEER DIP FOR A WEEK SO THERE WAS MORE THAN AMPLE DIP.
Then I remembered. Yes. They need to give three of those little cups of cheese.

If someone sends you something in the mail, yes you must write an effing thank you note, you couthless heathens! My aunt/godmother would disown you people. She sends thank you notes to people after she attends a party at their house.
I'm gettin' the vapors over here.
I have drinks and cake with my immediate family, which seems appropriate since it's really my mom's day. She squeezed me out and got stuck with a vahjeen like sleeve of wizard for it. Cake for her.

And yeah, I am fully prepared for my moldy, shriveled ute to reject a few embryos. Ain't no thang.
