Thank you so much, **dreamer** 🙂 You are officially the first person to wish me this year. August 18 can’t come soon enough for me! GOing to spend the day with friends at the San Francisco Comeday Day in Sharon Meadow at Golden Gate Park. I am really looking forward to it! ---

Aw, thanks. You’re among the first to wish me a happy birthday. I hit the big 1-8 on the 7th, when I’m going to purchase one cigar, one scratch-off lotto ticket, and one playboy from one of the myriad convenience stores I pass on my way to work. The weekend before (this weekend) I’m seeing The Who with a bunch of friends at MSG. ---

Probably shouldn’t even indulge in self-flagellation, but I turn the Big Five-O on August 31. And Happy Birthday to everyone else in SDMB!!! This site has been the second-best discovery I’ve made in years!!! ---

Advance birthday greetings to my fellow August Dopers. I thought I’d be spending th’ 10th out of town with a good friend, but plans changed her end. So, I’ll be spending that day by myself. It’ll give me a chance to get my place in a bit more order, I guess. Happy Birthday to you all! ---

Hey, **RealityChuck** , you’re a day older than me. BTW, I finally checked out your web page. When I get a chance I’ve got to dig through my SF magazine collection - I think I’ve got some of your stories (the one in MZBFM sounds familiar). I’m planning to post a thread tomorrow about my birthday plans. In the meantime - happy birthday all! ---

I’m hitting 42 on Aug 6th. And I’m hoping for a sleep-in (no uni or work in the morning) and a humungous chocolate mud cake. My wishes become simpler as I get older…but if anybody wants to send me a birthday card with a million bucks inside, I won’t complain. 😃 ---

I turn 18 August 10th. I’m so very excited! I’ve waited 18 years for this day. My boyfriend and I are going to go buy lottery tickets, go play bingo, go to the club, and go get a tattoo! (A very little one) So i’m very excited. 🙂 -Jenny\* P.S. My boyfriend got to do all of this 2 years ago, so he’s just taking me along for it all. 😉 ---
