I don’t think it should be forgotten that today is **lno** ’s 26th birthday.  
Don’t want to tick him off with any slight, for his [Rage burns with the fire of a million suns](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=62082).

Thanks for the Happies. I’d invite you all to my birthday, but you’ll all probably be with your families that day, and I’ll be with mine (Dec 25 here, too).

I’m guessing the 10th is your b-day, **alice-in-wonderland?** me too, for the 43rd time! I’ll be celebrating by going to a city council meeting and trying to stop them from banning mountain biking in a city park.

On the 11th I may have a personal celebration with a new friend ;), she’s 40 on Dec 21st.

Hey **Dreamer** , how’d you get those b-days??

Can I jump in? I turn 31 on the 5th (hi **lauramarlane**! Never have met someone with the same b-day).

I remember not being able to enjoy my birthday during college because exams were always the next week. There are some good things about getting older.

Winter solstice. 38.

It’s just a number. Chasing after a toddler is what makes me feel _OLD_

and if **I** had a dollar for everytime someone asked me if I got jipped, it would probably offset the fact that I am jipped **every** year!

But hey, Christmas isn’t about me! 🙂

_[hijack]How many of you have met people who not only share your birthday, but were actually born on the same day? I’ve met three so far, and a less similar group of people would be hard to imagine.

OMG, \*\*twickster47, \*\* not only do we share a birthday but we are the same age! I’ll be 48 too! I’d quote your earlier post here, which quoted \*my \* post, but I haven’t yet figured out how to do it. This is weird, and I agree with everything you said, especially about the DMV.

I will advance to level 28 on the 16th. My brother will turn 19 on the 16th. My son will turn 5 on the 27th. My daughter will turn 7 on the 28th.

Add to that that expensive holiday that is xmas and I hate December badly…

**The Big Cheese** , she’s right… and sometimes I help her add birthdays to the list. She wrote all the birthdays down, as did I (independently of each other), and just about every month or so, we compare our lists and make the necessary adjustments. Sooner or later, the result is one monthly birthday thread! 🙂 (which almost didn’t get done this month due to her being just back from out of town, and my reluctance to start any new threads for now… I was going to get **Spoz** to do it, and he said he wished he could, but he was rather busy this past weekend… maybe next time…)

Well, I remember this time in English 8 class when we were all comparing birthdays. This girl Vicky said that her birthday was Sept. 17; without thinking, I shouted out, “Oh, my goodness! Me too!” That was something we had in common, to bond us somewhat for the few years we were in the same school together.

Oh, and she was the only person I’ve ever met who was born on the same day as I was.

Here’s another December 16th baby. I celebrate with Beethoven and the Boston Tea Party. 😉

I’ll turn 44 and will be happy to just survive my first semester of graduate school. Not sure what I’ll do that actual day. Probably welcome my Ex into town as we get ready to head north and celebrate Winter Solstice with some Bay Area Pagans. 😃

If he had lived, **Ludwig** would be 232 years old on your birthdays. He’d look like shit though, wouldn’t he? 😃

I threw that in because it reminds me of a song that **Monty Pyton** did about all the dead composers. The name of the tune escapes me, however…[/hijack]
