Went next door and dinner with the 30 year old blond and then
we...well, you get it. God, she was hot!

In other words, everyone who has ever been near you for any length of time
ignored your birthday again because you're a sociopathic pest. No doubt
your children have left the country to avoid you, you have no friends at
all, and your father gets violently ill every time he thinks about the fact
that he fathered a worthless pest like you.

Is that approximately correct?

I always buy myself a tree to plant on my birthday, usually more than
one. Whenever anyone asks what to buy me for my birthday I tell them
I already have everything and anything I want during the year I buy
whenever I want it so don't buy me anything because I'll only have to
return it. But if they insist on buying me something I tell them they
can buy me a tree or a shrub, they either get the one I tell them I
want or they get me a gift certificate for my favorite plant nursery.
My birthday is in the middle of May, perfect planting time. Planting
a tree gives me enjoyment when I plant it and every day after watching
it grow, and when I'm gone others can still enjoy it.

A plant is a good idea... I don't have any house plants, but used too...
dieffenbachia's are my favorite.

You are good soul-- contrary to what they say about you.

Birthdays are more important to some people than others. Birthdays
are a special day - *your* day. I was raised with birthday parties
and I raised my kids that way too. When their birthday was on a
weekday, their birthday celebration often extended the better part of
a week because we'd do little things almost every day that we didn't
do very often in RL and I'd say "Happy Birthday" when we were doing
it.

I married a guy just like you... birthdays are just like any other
day. In the Way Back, if he didn't get with the program - I'd make my
own party and invite people I loved the most over for dinner. It
worked for me. Those were great times.

Interesting, but I've never heard that before, but it's just like the
"don't call it Frisco" attitude of San Francisco a decade or so ago.
Frankly, I don't blame them. I think most natives call their home
town by its full name. A friend of mine lived there for many years
(transplanted from SF to LV), so I'll ask her if she has ever heard
about anyone having a "don't call it Vegas" attitude.

could just be the ex... I dunno... When I lived in Denver in the 80s,
people had bumper stickers that said "Native" "non-native"

Weird moving from there to here.... Opposite lands. Denver had one of the
highest rates of people that: exercise, non-smokers, non-obese people,
non-natives... It was so easy to meet people in Denver in the 80s, and get
cheap apartments. Most the other people there were non-natives, and out and
about in parks looking to meet other people. It was hard not to be healthy
in Denver. (Except when the air blew south from Rocky Flats. Also, I got
sunburned a lot faster there.)

Aside from the irony of someone from SF asking aloud if someone is
***- as if it matters-- and the part where Chemo said "she was hot" --
and the part where my brain tripped because for a long time, for some
reason, I thought Chemo was female. . . . .

I've been schooled. I've survived a couple years of high school
French, and reading and writing a few pages in my 62 years and I'm
pretty sure this is the first time I ever knew blond/blonde was a
gender specific adjective.

I even looked it up
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index....ly-synonymous/

I should just go back to bed now-- no sense in trying to learn *2*
things today.

Same here. That was almost 13 years ago and my memory isn't as good as

At the 50th I was pretty subdued, still depressed over the breakup of
The Bonobos. On b-day 52, I spent all day knocking on doors for the
Democratic candidates, and meeting quite a few really great people.

On my 50th, as on all my birthdays, I invite my favorite co-workers out

I don't tell them it's my birthday.

When I lived in rural Schenectady or Schoharie county, 'the city
usually meant Schenectady'.

Now that I'm in the 'burbs of Schenectady, it means New York City-
though it is 3 hours and a whole lot of cities away.

actually, I did that. Told my neice to setup a surprise party (for me)...
I originally planned to spend the evening of the 50th sitting in the dark in
a corner of the house-- with a gun in my hand, rocking back and forth in the
fetal position. But remembered I don't own a gun. So might as well go out
and enjoy the day with family! I'm looking forward to the spinach artichoke
dip and super veggie pizza.

Nothing comes close to Transformer.

With some artists/groups, there is one obvious best. Steely Dan's
Can't Buy a Thrill is one. Who's Next is another. A lot of bands
really have only one good album in them.

Others released more than one spectacular album. The Stones had
Sticky Fingers, Exile, Let It Bleed... Bowie had Ziggy and Diamond
Dogs.
