August 11th here - thanks for the thread F\_X! Happy birthday wishes to one and all, no plans as yet, apart from turning 38 in a riot of drunkeness, or something like that. ---

August 26th will be my 23rd. I’ll be celebrating alone as my entire family have decided to go on holiday that week. Guess i’ll have to Celebrate at LonDope the weekend before instead. 🙂 ---

Oohh… We could start the 28/8 birthday club. Our parents must have been rather bored round Christmas time 😉 ---

Disco. I’ll be spending most of today working through an unusually large amount of tedious data entry, but I had enough fun last night to make up for how bad this day is gonna suck. I was born 8/04/76, but from now on if anyone asks I am 23. Thanks. DaLovin’ Dj ---

Thanks for the thread, **F\_X**! I turn **21** on August 30! Whee! Unfortunately, I still can’t drink. Damn meds. The familia y mi will be up in the Sacramento area moving my sister into her dorm at Sac State, and I get to see caves on the way! (Caves are a special treat for amateur geologists.) I wanted to do Lassen Volcanic National Park, but alas, we won’t have enough time. So, in the 8/30 club… **Monstre** , **IDemandBeer** , **RandMcnally** , **bubba jr** , and moi. Have I got everyone? ---

You’re just saying nice things because you know I need the vote of confidence over turning **30!** :eek: Mere hours left to enjoy my twenties. For some reason I feel like I should do something _extremely_ stupid. ---

thanks, **Flamsterette\_X**!! I will be on the 2nd day of my honeymoon, having gotten married on the 17th. Best birthday present I’ve ever gotten!! 😃 😃 ---

I turned 26 on Aug. 3. Spent it eating, drinking, and swimming in Lake Michigan. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Quantum Butterfly \* > **So, in the 8/30 club… Monstre, IDemandBeer, RandMcnally, bubba jr, and moi. Have I got everyone?** Actually, you should strike **bubba jr** from that club. He specifically said: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by bubba jr \* > **13th here, I was born on a Tuesday, so I guess I’m not cursed.** The reason you thought he was born on the 30[sup]th[/sup] was probably that he was making a sympathy response in regards to **Rand Mcnally** ’s over feeling old. 🙂 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by interface2x \* > **How about a support group to discuss those years when our birthday was the first day of school? Man, that sucked.** School starts that early in the States sometimes?! Wow… my experience in the BC school system is that it always started in September. (no, I wasn’t in any wacky year-round schools or anything like that) Sure, sometimes it started in early September (like Sept. 2)… but always after the Labor Day weekend. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Toaster52 \* > \*\*thanks, **Flamsterette\_X**!! > > I will be on the 2nd day of my honeymoon, having gotten married on the 17th. > > Best birthday present I’ve ever gotten!! 😃 😃 \*\* Hmm… for some reason, I thought your birthday was the last day of August. :o Guess I’d better change it on my master list to the 18[sup]th[/sup]. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Velma \* > [BI turned 26 on Aug. 3. Spent it eating, drinking, and swimming in Lake Michigan._\* You ate, drank, _and_ swam in Lake Michigan? My goodness, how’d you manage that?! 😛 Seriously though, I’m glad you had a great birthday! (and that goes for everyone else here in the thread) And to all the people thanking me for the thread… aw shucks, it’s not a problem. 🙂 You’re very welcome. F\_X ---

OK mine is the 11th. I’ll be a whopping 38. OMG I’m old. Don’t have any real plans. I just make sure that I don’t go to any restaurants near my birthday; I HATE that crap they do (No, I don’t want to wear some sombrero and dance). At my work, you have to bring in something (like cake or cookies) for everyone at work. So here’s some cake for you too. MMMMMM CHOCOLATE. The Surb ---
