    I don't do anything special for my birthday, its just another day
    to me.

    At some restaurants, you can get a free meal, but you have to be part of their loyalty club. To me, that's too much hassle.

    I would be embarrassed to death if that happened to me. Just all that attention. Of course to about 98 per cent of the other patrons their thoughts are probably "big deal" and forgotten minutes later.
    When I turned 36 a friend arranged a surprise birthday party for me, which I
    got wind of. I acted surprised and all that and just wanted it to be over with.

    You're in the same boat with me on that.

    My late father said he was 19 for years...when I passed him, I smelled
    a rat. It ended up being "You're 19, and your son is 42?? Must be
    something in the water!!" <G>.
