Wow. That was the worst birthday I've ever had

[Elidor]

I wasn't expecting much, didn't want anything special. But today I got gobmsacked upside the head with so much awful crap that I'm sitting here numb. Bloody hell. Sometimes life just takes a big old crap on top of your head.

One good thing about today: I learned that I can endure an amazing amount of bullshit without losing my cool. Right. Time for a beer. It's just another fucking day.

[SoCalDem]

1. Sorry you has a bad one..but try to enjoy what's left of it

[Elidor]

2. I certainly will. Thanks.

It's almost disturbing how well I'm taking it.

[barb162]

12. what in hell is that thing holding the cake

[SoCalDem]

13. a sloth

3-toed, it looks like:)

[lavenderdiva]

3. Here's a special cake just for you!

be sure to make a good wish!


Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Hardhead, Happy Birthday to you!

[Elidor]

4. Awww, thank you.

I'm having a good day while it lasts.

[ofrfxsk]

5. I'm sorry, have a beer or five on me.

I think we've all had days like that but it's worse on your flipping birthday. You'll get through it. Have another and enjoy tomorrow without those stupid fucks. JMA

[Elidor]

7. Thank you, thank you

Five is about my limit.

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Happy Birthday, Baby! xoxoxo

Enjoy your beer! <<clinkin' with my glass O'Chardonney>>

[Elidor]

9. Lol, what a picture

<<clinking back>>

[delete_bush]

8. rejoice in the fact that you must be young,

otherwise another birthday would be of no consequence regardless!

[Elidor]

10. I'm 40

I don't feel 40, but there it is. It's amazing. I had my mid-life crisis several years ago. It lasted about 20 minutes.

[delete_bush]

11. then rejoice in the fact

that advancing age has made you delusional!

Nonetheless, have a Happy Birthday! :toast:

18. Here's a gift for your birthday

Forty is the Magic Age. No one tells you about it until you're there, but I'm here, and I've been there, and I'll tell you, because it was the best gift I got on my fortieth birthday, and you sound like someone who's really going to appreciate this little gem.

Here it is:

Forty is when everything gets better. Everything.

I think something just shifts inside your brain, or else your accumulated wisdom finally coalesces and you have a sudden, clear grasp of things that you never had before. And, you're not even aware of much of this. It just happens.

Everything gets better. For men and women alike. Everything.

For me, it was the time when I just quit giving any credence to the bullshit and said "Fuck this" and finally really meant it.

Nothing will ever be the same again for you, and it will all just get better.

Happy Birthday, friend, from another August birthday kid.

The best is yet to come. Honestly.

And now, in your honor, the pussycat will have another beer ------->

[Elidor]

21. That is so cool. Thanks

I like the sound of that. I'll have one with the cat.

[barb162]

14. I had one like that a long time ago and so I felt sorry for myself

a while and the next day was really nice. I was so glad that damned birthday was over!!! I hope Saturday is a terrific day for you.

[Elidor]

16. Thank you. Saturday will undoubtedly be much better.

I think.

[barb162]

19. Tomorrow take care of yourself and buy whatever you wanted

for a while and give that present to yourself. I made that into an art form for a few years after I had that one horrible birthday. And finish tomorrow off at your favorite restaurant. And when you are in that restaurant eating your favorite dessert, I hope you say to yourself, well that was a rotten day, but today sure makes up for it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Happy Beerthday!

:hug:

[Elidor]

17. Yummy! I wish I had some Guinness tonight.

Cheap Icehouse icky stuff. *YURRRP!* Guinness doesn't make you burp like most beers.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Bummer!

You know, there's no rule that says you can't celebrate tomorrow instead. Go get yourself some good beer for tomorrow night, and call a default on today. :beer:

[CanuckAmok]

20. Um...happy birthday.

Mine sucked this year, too, if that's any consolation. At least NewYawker remembered.

[Elidor]

23. NewYawker always remembers

She's amazing.

[bliss_eternal]

22. Happy Birthday, Hardhead--from another Aug b-day Du'er...

So sorry it sucked. :(

It's not an indication of the year ahead of you. Maybe next year's will be better? Here's to hoping it will be...

:toast:

[Floogeldy]

24. Fuck that!

Let's talk about you instead.

[uppityperson]

25. Happy Birthday to you, HBTY, HBDear Hardhead, HBTY

[Robb]

27. Happy happy, HH

For what it's worth, last year on my birthday, I was peed upon.

I shan't elaborate; suffice to say it was not at my request. :silly:

[u4ic]

28. Sorry that you had a crappy birthday

and here's a little something to top off that lousy day:



uh oh...

[Heidi]

29. Happy belated birthday, Hardhead.

I'm sorry your birthday sucked, but the way you're reacting to being "gobsmacked upside the head" says something about your maturity. Forty, in my opinion, is an excellent age.

Happy birthday . . .

[leftofthedial]

30. Happy fucking birthday!

let me buy you a drink!

[Left Is Write]

31. I'm sorry.

:(
