July 6th seems to be a popular day for births. Our President, George W. Bush celbrates his 55th today. My favorite action hero Sylvester Stallone cebrates his 55th as well. Burt “Robin” Ward turns 56 today. Needless to say a lot of birthdays going around. [sub]Oh yeah, so is mine…[/sub] ---

[jewishmother]Last Tuesday, I celebrated my birthday. OK, so it’s not a popular day for birthdays; the only ones I know about are me, my Aunt Shirley, some great-great-uncle, and the United Nations. I even started a [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=75893) about it. Of course, I checked my e-mail, and the thread. Lots of people responded. You didn’t. Of course, **I** didn’t forget **your** birthday. Nope. Not me. I had that sucker written down.[/jewishmother] ::MsRobyn goes into the kitchen and whips up a chocolate seven-layer cake for Rob’s birthday:: [sub]Happy birthday, sweetie, and don’t forget to check your e-mail[/sub] Robin ---
