HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EUTY! ::throws confetti, cues the dancing girls, breaks out the beer, writes down who the presents are from, sends thank you cards, sweeps up afterwards, turns out lights:: See? I was even the hostess for you. Sheesh. ---

Well POO. Happy Birthday, Euty. I know you have no idea who the hell I am (which is probably a good thing) but I am sorry I didn’t know about your birthday. So, cheers! And have a wonderful birthday. I’ll drink this last glass of wine juuuuust for you…! 🙂 ---

We _were_ going to throw you a surprise party, but then you started this thread and now everyone has run off to watch **Persephone** ’s self-flagellation. Sorry about that! How old are you in moderator-years anyway? ---

Everyone forgets the Patricks, **Euty**. But then, I asked to be forgotten by not telling a soul. I only hinted at it in a single MPSIMS thread. Next year will be more exciting, I hope. 21 is a useful birthday, whereas 20 is largely useless. :: pointedly does NOT run naked through thread for **Euty** :: ---

Well, thanks I guess. Every year I go through this same thing : should I remind people and make it look like I’m begging for one or just trust people to remember. Every time I go for option #2 I’m invariably dissappointed. The only reason I got one last year is because I dropped a major hint. I really expected someone to remember this year. It wouldn’t have been so bad if anybody here at home had done anything but I really wasn’t kidding about the “no presents” thing. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Not even a birthday kiss. Maybe it’s the wrong way to think about it, but dammit, I do a lot for people and sometimes you just want a little something back. Oh well, it’s over. It’s just going to sting a little bit more whenever I see a birthday thread opened up for someone else. [Edited by Eutychus55 on 10-10-2001 at 04:42 AM] ---

:hangs head in shame: I’m sorry, **Euty**. I sent you a birthday card, and had _planned_ on opening a thread yesterday morning as well… but I woke up late yesterday morning, and didn’t get back until relatively late last night. It’s no excuse, and I’m sorry. Can I make it up to you with a “Happy Day-After Your Birthday” wish? {{{Euty}}} Here’s hoping that the rest of the year is fantastically spectacular, and that your every wish and desire comes true! ---

I swear, I had no idea. I leave birthdays and anniversaries and junk for the Little Woman to remember. And now I have to plan last minute. I **hate** when that happens! :quickly strips down and replaces normal clothing with a sparkly purple thong: :hops into cake: :immediately hops out of cake, shaking man-breasts in Euty’s face: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EUTY! HAVE SOME TOAST! _firm handshake_ Yer pal, Rue. (Yes, I stole this whole post from **Silver Fire**. No. I don’t feel badly about it.) ---

I DO feel bad. You sent me an e-card on my birthday, Euty and I certainly wish I had returned the favor. I just don’t read the boards enough to know when it’s anyone’s birthday. YES, you should remind people. When I hit 35, I decided that today is going to be my birthday, whether I like it or not, so why not be happy about it and tell everyone. Every year since then (I’m 41 now) I’ve told everyone I speak to that “Today’s my birthday!” . . . even if I’ve never seen or spoken to them before. You’d be surprised how much fun it is. Anyway, here’s a belated birthday kiss: **KISS** Z ---

Ya know, the little reminder popped up on ICQ, and my brain said “Must send e-card” then brain did a data dump. Now I feel like a creep because I regard you as one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I’ve encountered here, and you deserve kindness and thoughtfulness in return. Then again, I didn’t send b-day greetings to any of my sibs either, so I guess that means I think of you as a member of my family!! 😃 **Euty** , in all seriousness, I wish you the bestest of the best. You’re a genuinely nice guy. You deserve better than **Rue** in a purple thong. \ ---
