Sounds like you're turning into a crabby old man.
You need to go tie one on tonight and get over it.
And Happy Birthday. :toast:

It sure comes in handy when you should know a friend or family member's B-day... but aren't 100% sure...

I know, shame on me.

You're a guy. I think it comes with the territory.

Earlier this week I remembered it was my brother's birthday. I signed on to facebook just for the purpose of wishing him a happy birthday. That was a lot of effort because I wouldn't normally get on facebook more than once a month. Now I'm worried that he'll think I didn't really remember his birthday and just saw it when I got on FB. I normally think of him at least a few times in passing during his birthday, but this year, thanks to FB, actually went to the trouble of wishing him a good one. And now DaFacebook makes me feel bad about that.

LMAO

I actually hid my birthday information a couple days before my birthday last year just to avoid that. Then I un-hid it shortly after midnight and a couple of my PST friends busted me.

I dunno, I never knew untill Thursday I even made enough of a blip on the radar of life to 118 people for them to do so.
Many of them I hadn't even seen since I left highschool and only got reaquainted in the last month.

I've always hated my birthday, from my JW upbringing, to it's reminding me of the 2 people who brought me into this world, then turned their backs on me over religion.
To the fact I can never remember having a *good day on March 10th. in my entire life, Here's a few highlights.

-brother put me in hospital

-Lost the engine in my 87' Freightliner,

- 8 years Lost the engine in my 96' Freightliner

-got tosseed in jail in a dry county for carrying a half gallon of Jack from my truck to a motel in the open, Judge was gone for teh weekend and since I was a high "flight risk" as a long haul trucker, I got locked up for the weekend)

- Had a super over sized load, electronic tree harvester come to life, nail an over pass (which later shut was down for 3 months)and almost kill the cop escort on the ILL / In line........ again to jail we go

-Led by police the wrong way across the Chicago Skyway after shutting it down with 3 supper over sized loads for 35 mins on a Friday after noon at 445pm.........At least I wasn't alone in that cold jail cell

-Layed a truck over avoiding an accident on black ice landing me in the weeds dead center of the scale pad only in the ditch....They feed ya good in an OH lock up

-had a gun pointed in my face by 3 very large very black men who wanted my wallet and cash more than I did one morning in NYC, I later got picked up by the NYPD desperatly trying to breakinto my Truck in nothing but my underware........NY Lock ups are NO ****ING FUN wearing nothing but your fruit of teh looms.

-Locked out of the cab of my truck after waking up to take a piss, standing on the running boards, fallikng off and being locked out bare ass naked, in a rest area, in a snow storm, 10 miles away from the State Prison, have the cop come by while your breaking in to your truck........No jail, but I did enjoy a $64 ticket for public defication, his handcuffs, and back seat of his car. Special thanks for Officer Cooper for not actually laughing in my face but like hell to his partner, And for offering me his coat instead of shooting me.

-Having a contractor screw you for $17,285.00

-This year was no different, got bad news after the test results from my blood work came back


You starting to seea trend?
March 10th absolutly would not exist in my world if I could help it.

Anyway
My family (wife son, all the inlaws) ALL know don't even bring it up to me.
Shove your cards up your ass it's my day to forget so piss off.

All changed 530 am when my son met me in the hallway looked at me at the wife urging and said "Happy birthday Daddy",
As I leaned down to give him a hug, I ,looked at the Wife with hate in my eyes, over my sons shoulder , he stood back then started singing happy birthday.
Came home later that day, and a whole bunch of people, who out of them all I only interact with say 15-20, all took a split second to think about me.

Think i'll stop hating my birthday , and start just making it my day.

Well since I'm not your friend on FB, I don't think? Shit if I remembered your real name I might go to the effort to check. But anyway **** OFF LOSER, I hope you have a shitty day, you cut yourself shaving, the old lady has a headache and the dog shits outside your door oh and not the least of which you have 2 flat tires today.


.......Feel better, I at least but a little effort into it.:evil:

I don't wish people happy birthday on Facebook for this reason. I just ignore everyone's birthdays. Sometimes I feel like a dick for it, but the birthday wishes on FB just seem so empty and meaningless that I refuse to participate.

I actually suspect that there might be a FB app that posts a canned HBD message automatically on any friend's wall who has a birthday. Not interested enough to investigate further, though.

Set your birthday to public and change it to today's date. See what happens.

Well have a nice day anyway~

I couldn't agree more. I refuse to wish someone a happy birthday that I haven't talked to in 10 years. And I don't feel like figuring out where the line is between those people and my good friends. So I don't wish anyone a happy birthday. I thought about posting something on my b-day this year requesting that no one wish me a happy birthday, but I knew it wouldn't help. People see your name on the right side of their screen, they click it, type "have a good one, LOL" and move on with their creeping.

I have quite a few days throughout the year that I have multiple friends with birthdays.

I fully admit I go to their wall, copy the generic "Happy Birthday" post someone made, post it to their wall, and my other friends walls.

Yeah, i'm lazy.

personally, I think that function is great, because sometimes you do forget about birthdays, or even a common acquaintance B-day pops up you still want to tell them to have a good time then you pop a birthday well wish. because no one told you and it's a good reminder.

Agreed, its why I use facebook, to remember ppls bdays
