It's my Beatles birthday! 64!
Probably worst birthday ever. Then again, everyone is having that kind of birthday this year. Thank goodness there is one good thing I can say about it. The Beatles wrote a song many years ago, and today I get to claim it as mine!
Please enjoy this song. I've been waiting to do this for many a year.
(I broke one, possibly more than one, teeth a few days ago, and I'm in considerable pain. Will probably not reply if there are any responses in here. Mostly, I just wanted everybody to enjoy a Beatles song!)

As for the feeding part, I have to laugh at the irony. Of all days to not be able to eat something yummy, it's today. Was really looking forward to something hot and spicy this evening. Instead, I ate peanut butter! The sore teeth will only tolerate so much.
My dad would have celebrated his 101st birthday this year as well! I wish he could have been here to celebrate that day, but I'm glad he's not here to see what's been going on in the country.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! 
What a sweet and lovely version of the song. 
When I woke up this morning, it hit me that next year I will be 65. And all I could think was, 'how in the heck did THAT happen?' I want to be 16 again. Way back when, when all the body parts still worked. 
Instead I get to look forward to Medicare! 
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.
Then again, it's probably good that you didn't.
I think it was a bit embarrassing!
But it's the Beatles, so it's all good!
Thank you for putting another great song into my special day!
I sat here all day thinking about how I would love to have some wine. I didn't think it would go very well with the pain meds. 
I'll be looking forward to giving you birthday wishes next month!
I sure hope it was a wonderful day.
I promise that if you get your birthday wish, I am really going to party!
Not nearly as much as I should have. I guess I should have listened to the lyrics a little more closely. 
But I'll get by, with a Little Help from My Friends.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Heard from lots of friends and family. It's always a good day when that happens.
I had to celebrate with my DU family. I think I spend more time on here than I do with the humans actually walking around in my life.
the dentist could see me 5 days later! Good luck!
The second I can chew properly, and I'm not on pain meds, I'll be doing that too. I don't care if it's belated.
I think I'll enjoy it even more!
I heard from so many people, received some surprise gifts, and basically had a lazy day. And of course I listened to some Beatles music!
I think that song covered every birthday. Lol.
Most days my brain thinks I'm about 17. Most days I act like I'm 12. But my body definitely knows it's 64. And then some! Seeing the dentist on Tuesday. For once I'm actually looking forward to going to the dentist.
Must be 16. Have to have the driver's license.
We sure did think we were Immortal at that age. Where did the time go?
this year birthdays SUCK for a lot of people
and it just feels all the worse when you're hurting
hope you have something to help you ease the pain
(and remember mashed potatoes, warm soup and soggy crackers, pudding, yogart, and instant oatmeal, are your friends when it comes to fucked up teeth)
happy birthday (in spite of it all)
from one duer to another 
And I'm glad you reminded me about oatmeal. I have a ton of it in the house and for some reason I didn't think to start eating it! That will definitely help me get through the next few days.
And thankfully, I do have pain meds. Just took one a little while ago.
I'm definitely looking forward to a brighter future.
Cannot wait to say the words 'President Biden.'
That will be the best birthday gift for all of us!
I get to go to the Isle of Dentist. ???
Been a night owl since the day I was born.
go figure out for the count by 10 and up before 5.My dad was like you. My mom was like me. We could stay up half the night and sleep half the day.
My dad, on the other hand, he never got out of his Army days schedule! And he was only in during World War II.
He never went to bed late. But we knew if he slept in, he wasn't feeling well.
To the early birds and the night owls!
I sang that song to my grandson when he was just a toddler. He loved it.
Another generation that gets to fall in love with the Beatles.
I've always had this weird thing about wanting to die with all of my own teeth. I think it had something to do with watching my dad deal with dentures over the years.
Looks like I'll be going under the grass with at least one fake tooth. Oh well, that's life. At least I'm still on this side of the grass at this point in time.
It was. Late last night I finally opened up all my birthday cards and found some more surprises. Let's just say I get to go on a shopping spree at Amazon.
I'm sorry that you're enduring dental pain on your birthday. I hope that you can see a dental professional soon to get that taken care of.
It works even when it's belated!
Going to the dentist on Tuesday. In the meantime, it's liquids and soft foods for me. And you know the second you can't eat anything solid is the second you are dying for something like a burger, or a yummy burrito filled with all kinds of goodies.
Someone gave me a box of See's Candy for my birthday. She had someone else pick it up so she didn't know what was inside of it. I had my fingers crossed that it was cream centers. So of course I open it up and it's all full of nuts. I can't even eat it! At least it won't go bad while it's waiting for me to recover. Lol!
I'm happy to hear that you have a dental appointment made. It's no fun being in pain and not being able to eat solid food.
Once you get on the mend and healed, then you can dig into your birthday candy. Yum!
And I don't feel guilty at all for forcing you to get out all that equipment to listen to Beatles music! LOL!
Any other music, I might feel a twinge of guilt.
But when it's the Beatles? No way!
Yes! You get sympathy from me for having to drag out a bunch of equipment.
Now keep dancing! 
I'm "Number 9" ahead of you today.
Happy 73!
Then I'm passing the song on to you! It will be your turn to do the '64' dance.
