Usually at one of my favorite restaurants.  That's all I need to do.....EAT.     :)

Usually going out to dinner and having a cake afterwards, lots of phonecalls, since most of my family live in different parts of the country. I dont care for presents, but I always get them anyway. Birthdays were more fun, when my children still lived in the area.

When I was a child, our birthday was celebrated with a home made cake fresh out of the oven, and the rest of the family singing "Happy Birthday". That's still the way I would prefer it, however, This year is the big "70", and I think there's going to be a big bash. I have also requested the final item on my "bucket list" (which shall remain a secret) be fulfilled, and though my children are game, the wife isn't being very cooperative.

The "Big 70" is a good one! :)

I have fond memories of my 13th birthday.  We were living in a town with the population less than 900 so my girlfriends and  I walked around town until midnight  toilet papering several houses. This was a blast until the coach caught us wrapping his house.  He threatened to tell our parents but for some reason he never did. We made prank phone calls, listened to music (Andy Gibb), and talked about boys till dawn.

Why would you be CAREFULLY studying my answers? I've changed some, I don't toilet paper houses. LOL

Ahh...toilet paper. How innocent that seems now, compared to today's youth. :(

I just love a quiet birthday...an excellent excuse for retail therapy and a spa with the girls...Chocolate Cake...and usully an indoor picnic with the kids and family...Not A big DO!!:-)

Hell no. I dread that day every year. Everyone in the family knows not to call and wish me a Happy Birthday. I shut off the phone if I see a family number on the caller ID.

Why?

Growing up, we got to request any dinner we wanted. Now, I'll take myself out to eat at a favorite restaurant. Birthdays are my day, I like to sit around an feel special.......

I had a nice one this year- all of you wished me well (which meant a lot!!!) and I got to see my parents and spent the actual day with a very funny close friend!  No big fan fare= just love- which is exactly what I needed!!!!!

I generally work, have a few quiet drinks with friends and get very embarrassed if people make a fuss, my husband came into the pub one year with a big sparkly cake announcing to all it was my birthday, the thought was nice but I could have crawled under the table. I did however forget I had already turned 50 and repeated that one for a couple of years, got a great automatic garage door opener the second time I turned 50 and love it

On a bird-singing spring day,

A bunch of us in a writers' group got together and wrote stupid stuff in my back yard. The day went on and we got silly and then sillier. Cheech would have laughed at us. It was my best birthday. Everybody brought food.  

I dont celbrate my birthdays any more.

Well the last birthday I looked forward to was the big "21." Legal drinking age, I don't really drink much so that excitement wore off pretty quick. After that you are just not looking forward to forty or fifty. Unless you have a great retirement plan. lol.

How do you like to celebrate your birthday?

I don't really know... I have never had a birhtday that was memorable, except my 35th., when my first husband said, "What!  You have had 34 other birthdays.  Get over yourself.". 

 I love preparing a celebration for my family on their days.  It hasn't really caught on though ... me cooking, baking, decorating for others! 

I think because of the way things have gone I am actually only 26.  :D!

Forget it and treat it as just another Day,Bob  ,Jack benny was one of the top commiedions,even though he was an American,
