Straight Dope November Birthdays!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

In this thread, dreamer gave me the responsibility of posting the monthly birthday thread. (or at least the one for November… we’ll see what happens in December) Accordingly, I will post it before I get to bed. (I really should have done so hours ago, but I was out at the time… aqnd now you get this thread! :smiley: )

So here goes: it’s time to celebrate the Dopers whose birthdays are in November. (or at least, make a point of acknowleding their birthday month) Send your best wishes to:

Wish them whatever good thoughts you have, for happiness / health / a good year / fun / adventure / romance / whatever. If your birthday is in November, kindly share what you’re doing to celebrate, if anything. (I know some people don’t like to make a BIG deal out of their birthdays) Alternatively, if you’re not in this list, please tell us when your birthday is, and what you’re doing that day. Of course, you could just wish all the November babies a happy birthday if yours doesn’t happen to be this month :slight_smile:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!!!

Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)

“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”

Approximate English Translation of Above:

“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Have a truly superb day, everyone! Hope you all have the happiest birthdays, because you deserve them! :slight_smile:

I should add that the last phrase in the first paragraph should of course read: “… and now you get this thread.”

Sorry to anyone whose birthday was on Nov. 1; we didn’t get to you in time: I honestly thought dreamer was doing this now that she’s back, but apparently not. Good thing I saw her post in my thread, or I would have just let it go till… tomorrow or next week. :eek:

Ya fergot me! Mine’s Nov. 25th! :frowning:

4

You forgot me, too.
Mine’s the 23rd.

5

Mine is the 6th of November.

We are going to be having our “Family Night” like we do every Wednesday. We probably would have gone out to eat except that a few months ago I had a real bad day and asked Mtgman to take me out to dinner and I said that it could be my Birthday dinner.

Happy birthday, everyone!

Zette: Maybe this year you’ll get a real motorcycle for your birthday! :smiley:

November 7th, here.

But then, I always get left out of the fun in MPSIMS. :frowning:

:wink:

We save all your fun for GD and The Pit, Poly:wink:

Thanks Flami. You’re doing a great job! I posted in one of my threads in answer to your question about this month but I guess you missed it. Anyway thanks and when I know about December you’ll be the first to know. I guess by email this time ;).

Well my b-day is 0n the 18th of this month, I’m turning 20. I was hoping to go to Harry Potter then out drinking this month on the 15 as the 18th is a Monday… but that doesn’t look likely as I’m already broke. I need a job! And if I get a job within the next couple of weeks… well I’ll probably be working my b-day.

Thanks! Nov 5, and I’ll be the big 3-0. Bah.

15

Thanks. Would posting a wish list be inappropriate? :smiley:
No hitting! If one of my faithful column readers bought me a gift…

Hi! One of the “forgotten ones” here, checking in. My big day is on the 10th, and I’ll be 41 (funny, I don’t FEEL old). Also, 14th anniversary on the 11th. We usually do B&B or some other overnight, without the kids, and celebrate both at the same time.

17

Mine is the 26th.
Every 6 years, it falls on Thanksgiving, so i get a big supper!
I was even born on a Wednesday, therefore being a day before T-Giving.
I will wait for the obligatory birthdya thread then, and for iampunha to run naked thru it.

18

Mine’s the 3rd; I’ll be 31 tomorrow!

No idea what I’m going to do; usually I write in my birthday journal (I don’t have the patience for a daily journal, so I keep an annual one in which I write every Nov. 3) while having lunch at the Young Avenue Deli (don’t know why; I just always do that), then go walk around Overton Park and look at the fall colors.

This year, though, it’s cold already, plus it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. I’ll have to come up with something else to do. Maybe I’ll just sit around and age.

Oh yeah, and whenever mine falls on a Tuesday, it’s Election Day; my 21st birthday and first (legal) drink was the day Bill Clinton was elected president the first time.

Thanks for the thread, Flamsterette_X!

20

I will be 47 :eek: on Tuesday the 5th. That means Richard Nixon was elected President on my 13th birthday. Bill Clinton on my 37th.

So don’t forget this Tuesday, Vote Early and Vote Often!:smiley:
