For my 76th natal day, Dear Multiverse, I just have one TEEEEEENY little wish.
Just one! It would bring so much joy and happiness, and not just for me. Right now would be good. I have a fresh cup of coffee and cake and everything. PLEASE??? Pretty please??? With sprinkles???
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Celebrate.
We all hope that you get that present you want - That one TEEEEEENY little wish 😂😂🙂🙂
Croak Donvict croak!
Happy birthday niyad. Joining Malaise in wishing you
(Btw thanks Malaise..you helped unzombify my brain critically though you may not have known. The world is never what it seems..common sense ain’t common.)
I hope your day is filled with love, laughter and joy and that all your wishes come true!
I hope your request is fulfilled, sprinkles and all!
May this day bless you as you do so many others every day.
Although the novelty starts to wear off after you pass three quarters of a century! Been there. Done that. Still waiting for the T-shirt.
May all your dreams come true and may you have many happy, healthy returns!
And may you have many more (plus that teeny wish and that coffee and cake too 
).
My mom didn't just "read" books. She came armed with a sharpened #2 pencil, acres ballpoint pen, and ax6" ruler to UNDERLINE sections of pages that she would then have her daughters read to get the "main idea" of some subject that she wanted to pass along to us. She did the same with newspapers (whenever I traveled somewhere I would bring back a week's worth of that city's newspapers).
She (and many of the women of her generation who grew up during the depression and WW2 which was generally "pre-TV" ) became "radical" in young adulthood. We had a subscription to "Ms." magazine in the house starting from when it was first published and my mom even went to a talk given by Gloria Steinem back in the '70s here in Philly.
I have my own bookcases full of mostly (ancient) history, some economics, Star Trek books, lots of pop fiction, and hobby books. Got rid of most of my old college chem books when I ran out of room. For awhile, I had read almost every Lawrence Sanders book from his "Deadly Sins" series (starting with The Anderson Tapes" ), a bunch of Stephen King, Toni Morrison, Issac Asimov, etc.
Many of my recent ones are ebooks (am currently tackling "1929", the writing style of which is gloriously engaging considering the subject).
Of course with DU and dozens of news sites, I am now literally "reading" all day long and can't remember the last time I turned on the TV.
🥳🎉 🍻
It would make a wonderful birthday gift that keeps on giving.
Here is to your wishes all coming true.
May your wish come true.
🎂🎈🎁 May the Birthday Fairy grant your favorite wish
I wish you a wonderful day and many, many happy returns!
to come. You are such a bright star.
That means I’ll get mine: to have my natal day back! I’m celebrating on another day for the time being 
Wishing you many more happy Solar Returns, and a year filled with excellent health and great joy. I especially hope you get your birthday wish. Your birthday would become a National holiday.
I suspect much of the world shares your wish.
May all your wishes come true!
Be well and enjoy your special day.
Wishers on this special day!
I shall raise a toast to you in your honor..
and hope there are many more natal day celebrations to come in the future.
And many more. Live long enough to see this hellscape leveled, and then all the years you want thereafter.
millions dancing in the streets!:
Until then we will celebrate you.
Your birthday wish is shared by millions I guess.
I hope your wish comes true... if not now, then damn SOON!
Wishing you hearts and flowers!
We are the same age. I turned 76 on March 28. I also share your wish.
Happy Birthday! And I truly hope your TEEEEEENY little wish comes true.
May you receive all your birthday wishes and then some!
I'm a day late on my good wishes and cheer for you but I see no reason to not celebrate your birthday throughout the weekend.
