Dunno what percentage of "shitspeak" and what percentage of "rude as gently caress" led to these unfortunate souls getting probated, but I suggest the kind folk of Automotive Insanity not follow this general posting style even in chat threads because holy gently caress is it garbage.

Get your birthday poo poo on enough times by people and you stop giving a poo poo about it. 29th birthday was literally "Ignore Tinal the whole time and then yell at him for being rude because he decided to go home."

I left my 30th birthday before almost everyone else (was originally going to spend the night where it was happening) and the only people who noticed were the ones I drove home. There was a pig roast and everyone had started the party before I even got there (impatient fucks, tell me the right time to show up at then) and I got to eat my birthday dinner alone before going up to join the rest of the party.

Other than "yeah, we're building one" I don't think there's been poo poo said about it. Probably Everest-based, but that's all that's really 'known'.

My last several birthdays have just been my wife taking me out to dinner and either a movie or a show and she usually bakes me a cake. I haven't had a "birthday party" as such since my 21st and that was really just a pub crawl.

Welp, got my ankle bill. After insurance, I still owe $4 grand, which is like a month-and-a-half's worth of salary. Spent my meager savings on new tires so I don't die this winter. Time to call em and say "hey so yeah please help me pay you."

I have never planned my own birthday and I think the last time I had a good birthday party was when I was a teenager.

My 18th I spent getting lost walking around Toronto, my second day living in that city, trying to enroll in highschool. I went to four different schools and got told to pound salt, got yelled at by my father for not trying hard enough because I was ultimately unable to find a HS that would both give me most of my credits from Florida (I lost like 10 still because of "cirricular differences" and had to take an entire extra year of HS instead of graduating early like I would have in Florda, they made me retake half of grade 11 ffs) and well, enroll me at all. That's the story of the day I legally became an adult. There was no party, in fact I got bitched out for being upset over having spent my birthday doing something futile.

I always go for a meal out with my parents (and my brother if he's available), it's kind of a tradition to go to this restaurant I've had my birthday meals at for literally decades now. I don't really do parties.

Same. My birthday for the last 20 odd years has been going out for dinner with wife and maybe folks, followed by a cake. And that's a maybe. More often than not it's indistinguishable from any other day.

...or a stupid one! The answer to that is "yep" but I got fat, out of shape, and as a result have become a bit depressed. Finally bit the bullet and bought some body-weight suspension straps and bolted em to my basement wall so I could get back into athletic-ish shape. Realized I hadn't broken a sweat in 3 months...

I've been doing bench coaching for the league in the meantime and also got our league 501(c)3 non-profit status as well as got our home venue relocated. Board of Directors ain't gonna direct itself, ya know.
