4. Happy birthday! You're never alone on DU!!!!
After a bad marriage of ten years, I found being alone was wonderful and beat all hell out of being lonely while in a room with someone.

Once alone, I could do as I chose to do. That felt really good.
(Now I'm married....after twenty years 'alone'...and I can still do as I choose. A big blessing!

8. You should have driven up to Seattle
I spent the day alone too. You could have at least listened to some of the records in my basement!

:party: Happy Birthday to my favorite Count! :party:

You can answer WillyBrandt's poll below! :silly:

Seriously though, there's at least an hour left. Go out and merrymake, or listen to some good music.

Er, and happy birthday! This message has gone through some weird revisions. :crazy:

12. Want me to make you feel better?
Ok.

It was my fourteenth birthday and it fell on Thanksgiving that year. We were at my grandmother's house eating turkey. I dressed up and did my hair and makeup like a 14 year old does, because I thought they were going to surprise me!

No mention of my birthday.

To make matters worse, a conversation that sprang up at the table was all about "who has a birthday coming up in December?" I kept waiting for them to say "And Moonbeam's is TODAY!" and look at me beaming and grinning, while someone came out from the kitchen with my surprise cake, but

no one

ever did.

My 14th birthday was completely forgotten by all involved. Except me. Cried myself to sleep that night.

Gosh, I don't know if that will make you feel better or worse! Happy Birthday, countfloyd!!!!

14. To quote Count Floyd...
"oooh, scary!"
Happy Birthday! You should of let us know so we could've done something!
Instead, I'll drink a cold one in your honor.

15. You were with excellent company!
Happy Birthday. Sometimes the best parties are made up of three people, two of whom are absent.
