Damn, Rand. You’re 12 years younger than me, yet I take orders from you. It’s a good thing that rambunction is what I do best. Happy birthday. ---

I think I may just drive up to Canada and hit the bars there - to heck with it! Happy Birthday to everyone else whose birthday is this month! To those of you who’re turning 40, and are starting to feel old - just remember, that’s only twice as old as I am. Hmm, that wasn’t a bit helpful, was it? Darn. How about “If you do really well, you’ll be able to retire before social security collapses”? Damn, now I’m depressed. 🙂 ---

August 22 for me too. I am sandwiched in between my husband and my youngest son. A big week for CAKE. ---

I have one this month too. 19th. I’ll probably celebrate it by going to class. ---

**Blackeyes** you and I share the same birthdate…along with Bill Clinton, Mathew Perry, Gene Roddenberry, etc… No plans at this point though. I will be 35 this year! ---

August 1st here. I haven’t seen a birthday thread in a while! I turned 22. What did I do? Well, I had a ticket to Disneyland left over from my graduation party that expired Wednesday, so I went there. An amusement park is not as fun when you’re by yourself, let me tell you. After striking out with a variety of ladies I went home, talked to some friends, and played games. Yesterday I went to Red Lobster with my family and single-handedly destroyed an army of crabs. ---

Ivyboy will be 14 on the 17th. 1. Jeez…it seems like I was just changing his diaper last week. It goes by so fast… ---

I share mine with **Mr. Blue Sky** and **prisoner6655321** , only you can add a few years. Okay, a _boatload_ of years. I’m going to sit on my front porch with my dog, rock back and forth and practice screaming at the neighborhood kids. I have an image to start honing. Happy Birthday everyone! ---

**BraheSilver** , the reason you haven’t seen a birthday thread in a while is that the last one was in July. It’s now August. 😛 Seriously though, maybe next year someone will remember. Someone who’s not me, that is. I like you and all, but I’m not posting two birthday threads (one general and one specific) in one day would be a bit much for the mods, I’m sure. F\_X ---

Happy birthday to my fellow August-born dopers. I am clearly in good company. My birthday is on August 20th, but I got my present this past weekend–a day at the spa before my 25th high school reunion. ---

Oh yeah and steamers. they don’t have those out here in the middle of absolutely nowhere. ---
