My birthday’s in May, so it’s toward the end of the schoolyear, but often a school day. I used to try to always take my birthday off from work, but vacation days are always spoken for lately (I’d rather spend a week at the beach anyhoo). School & work for this birthday boy.
My thumb is brown, crisp and wilted; ain’t nothin’ green about it. And yet hope springs eternal. I’ve killed some houseplants in my day.
Catching up:
**I have been to Vegas.
I have met 3 of 4 of my grandparents.
I have shopped at Wal-Mart.
I have owned a houseplant.
I have gone to school and work on my birthday. **
I’ve been to both work & school on my birthday. One year I did BOTH school & work on my birthday.
Funny enough, I just watered my houseplants before sitting down to look up this thread. (A few of my plants are in terminal condition just now. 
**Worked and went to school on several birthdays.
Despite majoring in horticulture, I can’t manage to keep a houseplant alive. I forget about them.**
Jeez. I do everything you all mention. I think working or going to school on a birthday was one of the items last time we played, wasn’t it?
**Worked/schooled on my birthday.
Have maintained a veritable forest of house plants over the years.**
Yep, I’m a youngin. 
**I have attended work/school most years on my birthday.
I love houseplants, and currently have five**.
OK people, I’m gonna start blasting out 3 statements at a time now:
Ellen Cherry says:
Never HAve I Ever seen the TV-show American Idol
Which I have done, several times, but never by choice.
Avarie537 says:
Never Have I Ever recieved a ticket/citation
Check on that too. No way you can live in d/t Reykjavik, have a car and not get a ticket from time to time.
And Kingspades says:
Never have I ever been without a living great-grandparent.
(If you have any grandparents left alive now = green, none alive = red)
I’ve got two left!
I have seen American Idol
I have recieved a traffic citation.
and I have have been without any grandparents and great grandparents.
but are you talking about Grandparents or Great-Grandparents?
All my great grandparents were dead before I was born.
Both Grandfathers were dead before I was born.
My maternal grandmother died when I was 9.
My paternal grandmother died when I was 21.
My mother died when I was 24.
24 yrs later, my Dad is doing very well at age 88.
I misread it as grandparents… guess I’ll have to change my answer
Never Have I Ever seen the TV-show American Idol
Never Have I Ever recieved a ticket/citation
And Kingspades says:
Never have I ever been without a living great-grandparent.
American Idol- watched the auditions once.
Tickets: Guilty as charged.
Great-grandparents… Coincidence, yes!!! Well, since I never met my grandparents (died long before I was born- my paternal gradfather was born 100 years exactly before me!), **I never ever met my great-grandparents **
I’ve watched “American Idol” exactly once.
I’ve got a citation once for carrying an open container (beer can) in a public park. Never got a traffic ticket though.
All my grandparents are gone.
**I’ve never seen American Idol either (nor harbor any desire to)
And I’ve never gotten a ticket (no car, remember?)
But, I’ve been without great-grandparents. Actually, I’m relatively sure I’ve never had a living great-grandparent, unless there was some overlap as a tot**
Did you miss these two:
Mahaloth - Never worked or attended school on my birthday
Notfrommensa - Never owned a house plant
Or did I miss your answers?
Psssst…Wormie, check out post 383.
Sorry, Super! I missed them completely!
I’ve watched “American Idol” several times, but my wife and eldest son are much bigger fans than me.
I have received some traffic tickets.
All of my grandparents are gone, alas.
**I have seen a couple episodes of American Idolt.
I have received several traffic tickets.
I am currently without living great-grandparents.**
I watched a few episodes of “American Idol” back in its first season. SeptemberDay’s always been more fond of it than I have.
It’s been a very long time, but I have received a couple of tickets. One was for rear-ending someone at the end of an interstate off-ramp twelve years ago. We’d both already come to a stop and the car ahead of me started to pull out into traffic. I was looking over my shoulder to see if I could merge in as well and thus didn’t see that the car ahead had stopped suddenly. The other was six years ago when I was working as a courier. I parked for four minutes in a fire line to make a delivery and was nailed during those four minutes.
My family lives a long time. I knew all four of my great-grandmothers and one of my great-grandfathers: Dad’s dad’s dad. Now at age 33 I have one great left: Mom’s mom’s mom, who is 102, completely out of her mind and strong as an ox.
sigh Bye worms.
**I have seen a few episodes of Idol.
I’ve gotten a speeding ticket.
My great-grandparents are long dead. I only knew my Granny’s mother and she died when I was 3 or 4.**
