It's my birthday today. 51. But that's not the best part.
It's also my 24th wedding anniversary.
Thank the fates for patient women with low expectations and even lower standards.
Alt Q. What pisses you off most about birthdays as your year tally increases?

What pisses me of about presents, is not getting what you really want, no matter how plain the hints are.
Happy anniversary too. You never describe your good lady, is she well covered like your good self?

She's twice the woman she was when we met.
We may need a bigger bed shortly.

Nothing really pisses me off about birthdays other than they remind you you're getting older.

is that every year I read about someone my age who has fitted infinitely more things than me into their same number of years.
I'm the same age as Kiera Knightley and she's a millionairess.

Still, when you die there won't be a ton of jokes about you on Sickipedia.

Exactly the opposite of Bart. I never have any idea of what I want for birthdays, therefore I end up with some truly imaginative but useless presents.
This yeaar is different though. I've got a lovely new dressing gown and a Monster Hunter 3 coffret (Wii version). Should last a while. At least I get surprises. Christmas is the same.

And much like, I am dreadfully short of ideas as to what I want - fortunately this affliction seems to have struck my whole family, but it's less worrying for my parents (in their late fifties) than it is for me who will only* be turning 25 very soon.
*Though on the plus side, that is one of those few nice occasions when I've been able to use the word 'only' in this context for a while.

Selfishly, I hate not getting presents from friends I've gone out my way to buy awesome presents for during the last year.

You got married on your birthday? That seems poorly planned. Shotgun wedding, was it?

I have a shocking memory and the only time I almost forget my anniversary was when I forgot it was my birthday.
Then again, once we were married a few years we decided not to do anniversaries. We'd buy loads of wine instead.
Might celebrate next year though.

I'm only just under a year behind you in age and I'd like to say there's nothing that gets me down about the advancing age. To quote the song High wide and handsome:-
'Have high wide and handsome carved on my headstone
with the date I was born and the date that I died
Take one from the other and all you've got's a number
just remember I laughed twice as hard as I cried'.
Great words.
