You’re four days older than me, but I take solace in the fact i’m still eleven days older than NinjaChick. 😛  
Happy 20th, Kythereia. May all your drunken nights be followed by clearheaded days.

Happy birthday to you and monstro, too.

You’re lucky- I didn’t have the internet when I was 20. And this year I qualify for AARP- yuck.

(You realize that twenty is about as good as you are ever going to look right? No! Well, try not to think about it.)

Happy Birthday!

I’d like to share with you the sentiment my older sister wrote in my birthday card on the occassion of my 20th birthday oh so many, many, many years ago…  
No longer a teen  
Bigger than a bean  
Next thing you know  
You’ll be a drag queen

😃

Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

[QUOTE=Sunrazor]  
Oh, for … ! I turned 55 on my last birthday, just about a week ago today. Why is the time going by so fast? Because you young people just party, party, party, that’s why – wasting your life on greasy food, too much liquor and fuckin’ like rabbits everytime somebody smiles at ya’! Fast cars, fast friends, stayin’ out all night, worryin’ your folks just sick – when was the last time you called your mother? Wait’ll you get to be my age, missy, then you’ll wonder where it all went – draggin’ yer ass around like it’s Santa’s bag on Christmas Eve, just wishin’ the goddamn neighbor kids would stay the hell off your lawn for just one goddamn day! Damn kids of mine livin’ out there in freakin’ California, never get to see the grandkids, not that the little shits have any manners anyway.

So happy freakin’ birthday, girlie – and call your mother.

Now, where are my Velcro sneakers?

I was 49 Yesterday. What Sunrazor said. (What _did_ he say? I forget and I’m a little hard of hearing anyway…)

Happy birthday! Keep that sunny disposition of yours; Toronto sure needs it! 🆒

Yes. T.O. can be a harsh city at times. Especially in November.

What, right now? Not really, unless you count highs of 30C as cold. 🙂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYTHEREIA AND MONSTRO!

Gee, Kythereia, you seem very mature for someone so young. Very wise. When you were born, I was practically a newly wed. Mr. Zoe and I were married on New Year’s Day in 1986.

Now I don’t know how old Monstro is, but she’s crazy for her age! Hope you had a good one, old friend. I had a birthday on the 14th. I’m 63 going on 12.
