Hopefully you get to indulge in something you normally wouldn’t, just so you can feel special. > > Question for **LouisB** : do you celebrate your birthday? Even with something as simple as a family dinner or something? I love birthdays, and I know a lot of people don’t celebrate them very much when they get older, but I always hope for a little something to make you feel good on your birthday. The last birthday I celebrated was my 50th; It was a surprise party and totally unexpected. About all I do now is a nice meal that I don’t have to cook for myself. ---

Happy Belated Birthday to a fellow transplanted Texan. (Go, Raiders!) ---

Happy birthday! You’re my mirror-age (I’m 27). And 72 does sound really old from here, but… I’m finding that the wisdom I’ve gained so far is worth the gray hairs. Hopefully it keeps getting better enough to justify wrinkles, cantankerousness, and arthritis. ---

You should look for yourself on the 1940 census that comes out Monday. I think it would be cool to be able to find myself on one, but I have to wait another 40 years to do so. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/birth-day-boy/616836.md?page=1)
