In Reply to: Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride. - Tammeeee
Kind of combine the two. Dinner tomorrow. Yee hah! No dishes.
Hubby and kids (that are still young enough to be home) cook and do the dishes on mother's day, so it's always been a nice week for me.
AND I'm a grandmom too.......... X 3.
Don't ask.  Still going uphill so far, though not far from the crest.

I've always wondered about numerology. My birthday is on the 19th, my mom's birthday is on th
19th, my dad's birthday is on the 19th, and my great-grandmother's birthday is on the 19th. All of different months, but I've always wondered if there was something significant about the number 19 that I'm missing. 
hey...it's my birthday too! Happy Birthday! Enjoy! nm
Relax and enjoy every bite!
Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
4th is my birthday.
Can't believe how old I am. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing.....
You say it's your birthday....nm

I was 36 once.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to You
 
Today's my Mom's birthday. What do you get for someone
who has everything and needs nothing? I'm never sure which books she has read or not. She likes to pick out her own clothing. She has plenty of flowers and plants. She already has tons of stinky candles and bath stuff. I can't think of anything original. Any ideas? Thank you.
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
so why can't someone wish a Happy birthday
without someone else having to correct them? So what if it was Sunday. I love BD wishes early, ontime, or late.
Happy birthday!!!!
Tell him a very happy birthday! :)

Happy Birthday 2U!

I remember that day well. It's the birthday sm
of a very dear, longtime friend. John Lennon was my friend's hero of all time and his hero was killed on his birthday. Just now I got an email from this friend, thanking me for the gift I sent him for his birthday--a reproduction of Lennon's report card in 1955-56. The headmaster's comment (in red) on the report card was: He has too many of the wrong ambitions and his energy is too often misplaced." His French teacher said: "A disappointing result. He is so fond of obtaining a cheap laugh in class that he has little time left for serious concentration."
Hope they lived to see John's success.
Happy Birthday!!nm

50th Birthday
I turned 50 last year. Don't know if you have access to co-worker's family, but if you do and can get some pictures, a little scrapbook is something I got that I just treasure. Mine had the internet stuff about the day in history, then prices on various things on that date, and then pictures of me and family from early years to present. Just a suggestion. Also, some of the Red Hat Society stuff is kind of fun.
50th Birthday
We did a party last year for my brother-in-law - just the regular "over-the-hill" stuff, but on the cake we had them write Happy half a century Birthday instead of using the 50 - it made it sound so much older. - I shouldn't gest - i'm almost there myself.
It's my birthday, DH says I get to pick where I want to eat.
Ohhhh, the possibilities!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! nm

50th birthday ideas sm
For my husband's 50th, his brother made a card with heavy card stock, got 50 silver dollars and arranged them in the shape of a 50, attaching them to the card. (With a lower budget you could use smaller denominations).
For my 50th, my sister made up a scrap book with old photos (including old prom pictures), which I love.
For my husband's 50th we also did the poodle skirt thing (he, my cousin's husband, and my uncle-in-law all turned 50 the same year so we had a combined surprise party)
Want to send E-card for a birthday.
I want to sign up and pay for a birthday card and want to know if there are opinions of who carries the coolest animated greeting cards for the most reasonable price.
Ladies and gentlemen, your opinions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Ideas for 18 yo daughter's birthday?
She is graduating this year and going off to college in the fall. I know she doesn't need knick-knacks. I want to give her something special.
Happy Birthday, flybye! (nm)

2nd birthday party for the dynamic duo!
Just way too much fun! Especially when they both pushed their little cakes away and said PICKLES!
Next year they're getting birthday pickles.
My son's birthday is on Easter this year
he will be 8. On Saturday we are going to have his birthday bash at the bowling alley...he is very excited!! On Easter we will be going to my parents house. They just moved into a brand new, three story home. They sold about 13 acres of land in the city limits of Greensboro, NC. That is a hard thing to come by. The developer will be developing 302 townhomes on the property. It will be very strange to see that when it happens. My grandmother lives with my parents 6 months out of the year. The other 6 she lives in Florida. She's home right now because of the move, so she will be making Easter dinner. I don't know what she will make, but I'm sure there will be ham. Her cooking is so good that it doesn't really matter what she makes though!! Since it's my son's birthday, (and my birthday is two days later), it will also be another birthday celebration...so there will be homemade birthday cake! Can't wait!!
I prefer pie here, too. Always have birthday pie, usually two kinds.

..sorry, all exactly 31 years apart, sharing the same birthday. nm

Happy Birthday, Frustrated!
My husband's birthday is also today, and he is 40 today too!
(I just told him that I am posting this and he said, "Tell 'em it's also Harry Connick, Jr.'s birthday, and he also turned 40!)
BTW, I agree with you . . . sorry for your plight.
Today is John Lennon's birthday. He would have been 65.
Another victim of the world's insanity and senseless violence.
Not that anybody cares, but my husband's birthday is today and he's 41.

We gave DH a new Ford ZX2 for her 16th birthday,
and then the next year got her a new Mustang for high school graduation. She used the Mustang throughout college and just sold it several months ago.
I felt better with her driving a new car in mint condition than an old clunker, especially since she was at school hundreds of miles away with no one to help her if she had car trouble.
I'd give the kids the same treatment on their birthday....sm
that should get their attention!
They can. Ignore 'me'. Happy Belated Birthday, Lee!

Do you want a birthday gift too? Christmas is for giving, not receiving.

What have you given your work place?
Any good ideas to celebrate 50th Birthday
A friend and co-worker turns 50 next Tuesday and we are planning a 1950s celebration here at work.We are gonna dress in poodle skirts and jeans and t-shirts, etc., but I'm looking for something else... maybe a unique poem..or any unique ideas? Anybody have any tips? TIA!
Hubbie's birthday...pizza, salad, but the most important thing
cheesecake and banana split dessert for his birthday..... Am looking forward to it! Yuummmm!!
"Happy Birthday toooo youuuu dear Penny.
Hap Hap peeeee birthday tooooo you.
I think I would just send an email and say, I know it is a system problem, and I have been available as schedule and waiting around, but since I did have prior plans that cannnot be cancelled, I will have to sign off my regular time. Perhaps, I can add a few minutes on consecutive days to try and recoup. (this shows your commitment but HEY!!!
Happy Birthday, just make sure you have a DD and lots of orange juice for tomorrow morning!!!

Yes, as mother's we should take the
responsibility. Whether they were married or not is not relevant. Everyone makes poor choices in life. Everyone, married and unmarried, might need help at some point in their life. What difference would it make if my sister in law was married? The courts wouldn't enforce the order anymore than they are now. You say you are all for going after the father, what difference does it make then? They are not held accountable by your government, but you think it is okay to speak against any woman needing help only momentarily because they made a poor choice in life?
I'll give you another example. My mother who was married to my father for 10 YEARS had to get a divorce and take all 4 of us kids with her. My father after 5 years of MARRIAGE started beating her. He then put guns to my brother and my mom. He raped my sister many times before she was ever not scared enough to tell someone. She left as soon as she could get out and took all of us with her. Our government that she paid taxes into her whole life did not once honor the restraining orders, did not honor the court order for child support, and would not provide my sister with counseling at no charge or reduced rate. Do you know why? Because a member of the family committed the crime. Even though the man told my mom that he is aware that most all sexual assault cases occur in the family, but according to the procedures laid out to them by our government, you cannot get assistance if the act occurs in the family. My mother worked 3 jobs. We had to get her out of bed with a broom because she would come up swinging. She drove us all many, many times to counseling and did not get sleep to go to her next job. If our government would have pursued the child support order, if they would have offered her free counseling for my sister so she was not having to pay out of pocket, just a little help for a short period in her life, then she would not have had it so rough, or us so rough during those times. I am sorry, but it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves. On the other hand, our dollars do not go back to our people in the right way. If you think they do or you think that the government should not be held accountable for their lack of assistance or overseeing of the assistance they do give to make sure it is used properly, you are fooling yourself. If you think it is about all for yourself, never have to depend on the government at all in your life for anything, then give us our money back and we surely could do that.
Mother's Day
My birthday is on Mother's Day this year. I got myself a present, a ticket to see Rob Thomas in concert in PA. I usually get a combined birthday present/Mother's Day present from my husband and two daughters.
My mother's day
First thing when she got up, my 5-year-old asked "Is it Mother's Day?" When I said yes, she went to her school backpack, pulled out a little brown bag that says "I love mom" on it, and took out a little sculpture of herself that she made at school. My 18-year-old son spent half the day sleeping, a few hours at his girlfriend's house, stopped at home and gave me the top half of a carnation. I think he pulled it off of his girlfriend's mom's bouquet or something. My 21-year-old daughter called at 8 tonight and said "Happy Mother's Day. I didn't get you anything. I can get you a card though." I think she basically called to let me know she works tomorrow because I watch my 1-year-old grandson when she works. Oh yeah, my husband and I got in a fight. I'm so close to tears. I can't wait until everyone is bed so I can have a good cry. Am I being too sensitive about the older kids? I don't expect them to spend a bunch on me but they both work, and a $5.00 little flower, an annual or something, or pitching on a hanging basket or something, or even a card..whatever..would have made my day. I don't know. Maybe it's just PMS.
