Yes, can't remember the year though
It's up there, but wouldn't say favorite.
Mmhmmm.
The gift was being in Atlantic City, but being on the beach with family and watching the Air Show. Thunderbirds flying over my head.
I always travel on my birthday haha
I love that drive up 101 so much. It takes forever, but that is the point. If you are in a hurry, take I-5. If you just want to see beauty, to understand the world just a bit better, 101 is the drive.Well... my favorite birthday was spelled correctly, but wasn't my birthday. For my late wife's 50th birthday, we spent two weeks driving from just north of San Francisco up to Astoria, Oregon (the northern most point of Oregon, on the coast). We had no schedule, no plans, just drove when we wanted, stopped when we wanted, enjoyed just the two of us being together. Is was beautiful.
I wanted to do the same thing when I turned 50, over 10 years later... but it was not to be.
Yeah... I agree. 101 through Oregon is my favorite place in the world. I'm not one for favorites, but that is home for me... even though I don't live there anymore.
It's beautiful, but I have to drive or I get car sick!
My best birthday was probably 10 years old. Because that was the year my mother finally believed me that I like pie more than cake, so instead of a cake I got to blow out the candles on a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. And I've only had birthday pies ever since.
I voted for violet and I'm so happy I did. The new AV is making me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.
Oh... you are a total fiend!!!! You use a different color to represent a color choice??? OMG! That is diabolical!
When I turned 18 I thought, this is it, I'm no longer a child. I'm an adult! And now I will do adult things!
I’ve rarely liked my birthday - when I was a kid having a summer birthday was an inconvenience for my parents plus it meant none of my friends were ever around because it was after school was out and we went away for the whole summer. So that wasn’t fun. I have had at least one memorable one and one good one…
). He also had a tradition of making a birthday cake in the shape of something significant for us, so my 13th birthday cake was in the shape of an ear with an ice pick in it.

My wife and I have a tradition where we give each other Broadway tickets for our birthdays every year. It guarantees that we see at least 2 shows a year, and it cuts out 95% of the worry about what presents to get. It'd be hard to rank which of those birthdays was the best, though. Maybe the first year we did it (before we were even married and before it became a tradition), when we saw The Boy from Oz back in 2003. Hugh Jackman at his bendiest. God, he made my wife horny that night.

We've seen him live a few times. Most recently a couple years ago in The Music Man. Still plenty bendy.
That looks like a fun dress for a party! Plenty of volume for swirling and gesturing, plenty of coverage, and great cleavage to show off.When I turned 18 I thought, this is it, I'm no longer a child. I'm an adult! And now I will do adult things!
When I turned 20 I thought, this is it, I've put this whole adulting thing on pause, but now! Now I'll do adult things.
When I turned 25, my tune didn't change. Nor did my mind. Or my life.
But then I turned 30, and I thought to myself, this is it, I'm no longer striving to be an adult. I'm just me. And that's fine.
The party was good, nothing extraordinary happened, just fun with my nearest and dearest, but I so vividly remember that realization that, fuck it, I don't need to strive for some childish ideal of adulthood.
I'll just do as I've always done.

The best thing is realizing you should never grow up.When I turned 18 I thought, this is it, I'm no longer a child. I'm an adult! And now I will do adult things!

Growing up is for suckers.
Such a good song!
A bendy Hugh Jackman.
Australia probably...
Karaoke... what? Where did you think this was going?
Lol, no, google just assigned the colors to the chart. I couldn't figure out how to change it. It was so frustrating!!!!Oh... you are a total fiend!!!! You use a different color to represent a color choice??? OMG! That is diabolical!
it being a normal day, work, home, dinner, no acknowledgement, no special things, it’s just another day to me
Oh, you know I have a soft spot for you and birthdays
