Happy Birthday! You have to tell people, otherwise how will they know? On my last birthday, I told everyone. I even got a hug. And a date. ---

Did you actually enter and publicize your birthdate on Facebook? Some people donā€™t have it public and they only end up getting salutations from their super cool friends who remember their birthdays. Happy birthday, tho! ---

Some people donā€™t have it public and they only end up getting salutations from their super cool friends who remember their birthdays. > > Happy birthday, tho! Thatā€™s me. I donā€™t share my birthday and its usually about this time of day when Iā€™m feeling like ā€œno one caresā€ that I realize I have my privacy settings locked down to within an inch. And those who know me well find me a little odd about my birthday - I donā€™t like to make a big deal about it, which means people donā€™t mention it. (I do like to be wished Happy Birthday). Happy Birthday, TruCelt. Do something special for yourself today - even if its just a bath and a glass of wine and chocolateā€¦ ---
