for the over use of pink.
I just go to poser pros where my default interface settings are black with gold text.
or renderosity, where it's black with cyan text.

happy valentines? oh, yeah, that's right I hid for my birthday and didn't talk to anyone. ]:)

[ yes, the 13th was my birthday ]

[i](to be sung to the original "happy birthday" music)

by sleepin'dawg

I don't know why, precisely but I haven't enjoyed making a big deal out of celebrating my birthday, since back in my twenties. I guess my logic is a bit weird but I just don't see a reason to celebrate being a year older and getting closer to death. Besides, when people throw you a "surprise party", which you invariably find out about before hand, they always seem to come to your house, to throw it and who in the hell is going to clean up that mess afterwards???

My idea of the proper birthday is to be on my own and being able to do something that I want to do. It could be anything like spending the day at the movies, going fishing, just doing whatever [b]I[/b] want to do without being the focus of somebody else's idea of celebrating my birthday. my idea is, it's my birthday, ergo it's my day and I should be permitted to do with it, whatever I please. The one thing I've managed to do, with minor exceptions, is to never work on my birthday. The exceptions were the three times I actually forgot it was my birthday until my mother phoned to wish me a happy birthday.

My insistence on taking my day for myself once got me into trouble with my first wife. She had set about throwing an elaborate surprise party and she actually succeeded in keeping it a secret. After 10 years of marriage plus three years of living with me, you would have thought she would have learned that the idea of me having a birthday party in my honour was not very high on my list of to do things, on my birthday. Well she succeeded in keeping it a secret, alright and it was a marvelous party; everybody having a great and good time. The only problem was the guest of honour was missing and he didn't put in an appearance until everybody was leaving to go home. That one was good for over a month of nagging. I had told her what my plans for my birthday were going to be, about a week prior to that and if she had been paying attention, she would have worked out a ploy with some of my friends to ensure my presence. She didn't and I wasn't. Was it my fault that I wasn't there??? The way I saw it, everybody had a good time drinking my booze so, my presence wasn't really necessary and hey she [b]had[/b] succeeded in surprising me; I just wasn't there to appreciate it until after the event.

I hope you had an excellent birthday and were successful in hiding out from everyone. I hope you were able to do precisely what [b]you[/b] wanted to do and I hope you enjoyed every minute of it and the day worked out exactly as [b]you[/b] had planned. It was your day and whether anybody else enjoyed it or not, you certainly should have been able to.[b][i][u] Happy Birthday, Jaqui!!![/u][/i][/b]

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

by stargazerr

Birthday is "your" day ... I agree.

But hey, its another excuse to party ... :D

Other than that ... I make it a point to spend the day with my folks ... They are the reason I have that day in my life .... or life itself ... :)

by jaqui

I got a phone call a couple of days after my birthday one time, from my mom.
She called to let me know how much fun everyone had at the birthday dinner she had prepared. [ and I never showed up for at all ]

by jdclyde

The EX did this to me, and YES, it was at my house.

Not only did this make a mess for me to clean up later, but I got stuck on grill duty for 30 people that I didn't invite over! X-( I was surprised, but not pleasently.

On the other hand, I JUST got done with one for my best bud. He USUALLY just does a quiet dinner out with him and his long time live in girlfriends. (can you say common law?)

So I called and TOLD him I was taking him for a few drinks BEFORE their dinner (secretly at HER request). He found this out as I was driving on the way to his house and called from my cell that he had two minutes to get his shoes on!

He had been kind of bummed out because none of his family had called to wish him a happy birthday (they are close). I played it down of course.

After the first bar of hammering beer and tequila (yum!) I told him I had to hit an ATM (I PURPOSELY only had enough money for the FIRST bar!) and of course the credit union was on the other side of town so he didn't give it a second thought.

Then we stop at a bar next to a bowling alley (where the party is going to be) and what is parked RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR? His girlfriends car. (mechanic, so he KNOWS cars when he see them) "Of all the places we could go, we have to go somewhere the old lady is at???" Biting my tongue we go in anyways and there is his entire family and many friends. He almost fell over. :D

It was one of the BEST surprise parties I have ever seen. He had NO idea AND no mess to clean up!

by x-marcap

On my 30th birthday, I was layed off the day before. I went out and played golf. The party (on Saturday) started at 2:00. I didn't shave or shower. I played golf til 2:00 and then I ate a big steak at a restaurant my wife hated. I saw a movie alone. I then headed home at 7:00 P.M.
and the party was nearly over. (I left my mobile phone at home. it was seventeen years ago. a police squad move with Leslie Nielson.)When I entered people were surprised. I had been out with no contact. (This never happens when you are self-employed) They had started without me and I was attacked by wife, mother,and other women. The men threw cigars at me and said they wished they had the set I had...

I had said no parties. I meant it.

My wife thought I should have called.

I enjoyed my B-day.

by gadgetgirl

did you have to dig through all the Valentines cards to get out of the front door? :/

I see what you mean about pink, and I'm more inclined with Jaqui's colour scheme....pink is too girly, black is far more sexy....

oh and talking of Jaqui......

[b]HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU SNEAKY PERSON![/b]

Seriously, many happy returns - did you have a good day babz?

GG

by jaqui

I had exactly the day I plotted.. no work, since I made sure I had nothing scheduled.
only talked to 4 people.
[ in the entire 24 hour period, I literally only spoke to 4 people, two of whom were working at local Timmies where I buy coffee. ]

so yup had a great day. I'm debating not turning the ringer on the phone on today also. ]:)

by stargazerr

Blasted my way through with one of the guns jd bought :D

I like Jaqui's color scheme but I am not very happy with the Gold on Black ... But I expect you need something to see the dirty words on the sexy black background ;)

ouch!

Get the claws back in Gazer! It's supposed to be a "loved up" day....!

Sheesh!!

Reminds me again of being left out of the TR insiders discussions :( .... Aaah ... Stop Cribbing ...

Valentine's is waaaay too much about Mushy Stuff ... I love it as long as it is spread out over the year not concentrated on one day alone ... :D

It isnt like 14th of Feb is the only day you remember that you are in love :p

what does "age" have to do with ANYTHING?

You should know better than to makes such a statement at your age! :O

A lovely woman is not determined on age! X-(

Now, back on the table with you! :x

by bfilmfan

I didn't see any email.

And at my age, you are a much younger woman at your age.

I should get points though for knowing about the Pussycat Dolls. :)

And just for the record, hip swishing ain't gonna break my coffee table.

by jdclyde

I can't speak about "up there", but I can bet there are a few around here that do! :)

Happy Valentines Day to you as well!

My "scheme" for the day. I have a dozen roses in a vase being sent to Country Girls work at 10 am EST (in another hour and a half.)

The florist is right next to where she works and I told them I would only get this order through them if they would walk it next door RIGHT at 10 am. Most florist won't do set times because they are so busy, but being NEXT DOOR, the manager said she would walk them over herself if she had to! B-)

This gets them to her before her lunch, and will hopefully give her "warm fuzzies" for the rest of the day.

My work here is done..... :D

by gadgetgirl

You have no idea how much of a glowing fuzzy feel is generated by receiving flowers at work.

Also does loads for the ego, especially when other green tinged women look longingly at the flowers, wishing their men were as thoughtful....

No, not speaking from current experience, before you ask. Last time this happened to me was when I was pregnant with my daughter, and IF was on a guilt trip about making me drive to work in a white out while suffering morning sickness.....!

Colleague in here just received humungous bouquet of beauties from her hubby of 20+ years, so I'm the envious one.....he's actually off shore, but still took the time and trouble to place the order by ship to shore phone....

And yes, I've already told her she's a lucky......woman.

Good for you jd. I think that makes you about another zillion brownie points up her Richter scale.

:x

GG

by jdclyde

and liked them.

I am sure she was doing an imitation of the "mambo glow" when they came in!

And yes, ALL her co-workers are married women. Don't know if anyone else got flowers or not. She doesn't get a break for another hour, so she had just slipped away and sent a quick thankyou email so far.

Bad thing, it is the week I have the boys, so we can't hook up tonight. Oh well. I am a long way from giving up nights of hanging out with my boys for a woman. Only exception is an hour at the local coffee shop on Thursdays. I can do an hour once a week.

[b]Phase one complete. Phase two[/b], will be calling the florist and have them deliver ONE long stem rose a day for the rest of the week. :D They are right next door, so I am SURE they will do it if I pay for it all up front.

but NEVER birth DATE.

If someone feels like sharing that information, it is fine. If not, that is fine as well as it really isn't neccisary. While it DOES help people have a common reference, just knowing what GENERATION your a part of is adiquate.

Some people are NOT hung up on age, well at least not TOO much. Too young (let me see, if ItGirlie is 24, then anyone UNDER 24 is off limits! ]:) )

On the up side, the "mature" woman KNOWS things that their younger counter parts can't even DREAM of yet! ;\ :x

by gadgetgirl

Mature women.

Our eternal quandary is toy boys.

Should we or shouldn't we?

In favour: We have a pure specimen to sculpt, we can educate them in whichever way we like; once that is done, have they lost their appeal?

Against: Some specimens take longer to learn than others. And do I really want to be a teacher? By teaching, would I inhibit any imaginative own moves?

oh, what a predicament!

Guess I'll just stick to guys older than me, in the meantime......:p

:D ]:)

GG

by sleepin'dawg

Ah Grasshopper, there is yet much for you to learn. In the event that you should acquire your duck, much enlightenment will surely follow. As the voice of experince teaches, "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker."

Enjoy your tryst with Country Girl and in your idle moments, do start trying to acquire the proper mud for your duck; for the day, if and when you should encounter it. On that day much enlightenment will be yours. Go in piece, oops I mean peace, Grasshopper; many mysteries await you before you can claim your duck and the enlightenment that will accompany it. :^O

BTW if it is any consolation for you, you are well ahead of Mark but you do lag behind Neil and Mambo in this quest. :(

by jdclyde

older women and younger guys works better than older guys and younger women.

When I was 20, I went out with a woman who was 59. (Yes, her son was about 10 years older than I was and yes, she was 9 years older than my mom.) :O

And of course it was ONLY for sex, but isn't that the way it is SUPPOSE to be? ]:)

A younger guy is easier to handle because you just give them sex and food and they are happy.

A younger girl on the other hand, well there is only ONE sure way to get them to shut up and that only last about 15 minutes! :D

by jdclyde

I have always followed the "Wine if fine, but whiskys quicker"! (coming up as a 80's rocker and all!)

A side note, the card for Country girl did NOT say "love" on it.

The search for mud goes on...... ;\ Until then, that is why God gave us internet porn! :D

I wouldn't know about friction burns other than carpet burns from being WITH someone else.

As for the rest of the time, my computer has all the latest "mods" for the single guy. windshield wipers, paper towel dispenser on one side and lotion on the other! :O (just don't touch the keyboard.....) ]:)

Lust, love, both are nice, but you forgot the third option. Simple urges. Got me through the last few years...... (yes, back to the old "Assisted Masterbation")

by vawns

A joke for Valentines' Day....

Two friends, a blonde and a redhead, are walking down the street and pass a flower shop where the redhead saw her boyfriend buying flowers.

The redhead sighed and said, "Oh, crap, my boyfriend is buying me flowers again."

The blonde looked quizzically at her and said, "You don't like getting flowers from your boyfriend?"

The redhead said, "I love getting flowers, but he always has expectations after giving me flowers, and I just don't feel like spending the next three days on my back with my legs in the air."

The blonde says, "Don't you have a vase?"

Apologies to all the other blondes out there but I'm blonde and I laughed out loud when I read this.

by rob mekel

Look at your peers the same age and tell me most aren't WAY too flaky for more than a meaningful overnight relationship?

No offense intended my dear! Not that you are terribly put out by what a bunch of old guys would say on this topic? In reality, from the sounds of you, I doubt we would cast you aside based on your age! ]:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU

feature request for TR ... have a calendar where everyone records their (TRUE) birthdays .. :D

]:)

by gadgetgirl

Thank you very much!

That calendar idea of yours isn't as bad as most people would think. I for one would like to know if I share my birthday with any other TR peers.

Look at it this way. The actual birthday starts in the earliest time zone and finishes in the latest......a true, legitimate way of getting a two day birthday!!!

Hey, where's that Patent Office form.........!!!

:p :D

oh, area warning Gazer - dippy tart mode will probably strike later, as will mad-as-a-hatter mode....well, just for today!

GG

by gadgetgirl

Appreciated!

Wish? Apart from winning the UK lottery tonight? No, just winning the lottery, with a fairly large amount of money so I could fund an actual "Water Cooler" convention for the regulars on TR and the TR staff. That would be a really fun time, putting names to faces, and in my case, thumping a few people for winding me up....!!!

I wasn't wishing, but just hoping, for a quiet day at work. No such luck. Didn't even get into my office before I got "got"!!!

Oh well. Cakes on me this afternoon then!

Cheers!

So, have I caught up with your years yet??!!

by old guy

I turned 51 this past October. The way I look at birthdays is that it puts me one year closer to where I'm going. Plus it puts me closer to retirement where I can start doing the things I really want to do without work getting in the way. :)

by gadgetgirl

the thing about retirement is - you wonder how on earth you ever had time to go to work in the first place!!!

The first Xmas after Pa retired, I bought Ma and Pa an answerphone......cos they were forever out of the house!! That was 15 years ago, and they're still just the same!! (oh, and on answerphone number 3, btw!)

.....not all that far behind you ......

:D

by gadgetgirl

Dippy Tart Mode - even though I'm not blonde (I'm not - ask jd!) I can get caught in a loop of "blonde-ish-ness" and come out with the daftest things. I think you call it ditzy (?sp) over there.....

CALL FOR NITS! TRANSLATION NEEDED!!

Mad-as-a-hatter mode - I come out with the daftest, silliest of suggestions possible, and get away with it. I also go into extreme mucky mind mode

NEIL - WILL THEY BE GETTING ANY OF THIS???

and still get away with it.

You gottit now?

by jardinier

I feel I must take this opportunity to tell you about the best birthday I ever had.

It started with a service in the Wayside Chapel, King's Cross, at which it was discovered that three other people had birthdays within a day or two of mine.

After the service, I was shouted to lunch by a female friend (Yvonne) -- smorgasbord in the penthouse dining room of one of Sydney's leading hotels.

In the evening I was invited to have dinner at the home of another female friend (Julie).

Then I set off home and ran into Joannie, whom I had originally met at Julie's, and who was destined to provide the most stimulating relationship of my life. So we sat and talked for a long time and she went to catch a train home and I walked along the main street of Kings Cross.

I was accosted by a young, dark-haired hooker with a cute figure. The standard line was: "Do you want a girl?" To which I always courteously replied: "No thanks."

But this girl was persistent, so I asked "What is your name?" Well it happened to be Julie -- the same name as the girl who had provided me with dinner and with whom I was infatuated.

Well as I had never been with a hooker I thought it would make a a fitting end to the night, especially as I had received "nothing" from the three girls who had entertained me during the day.

I shall spare you the sordid details but I felt a guy should have a hooker at least ONCE in his life.

I then (by now well into the early hours of the morning) raced around to the 24/7 Crisis Centre at the aforementined Wayside Chapel to tell everyone of my great accomplishment.

Yes, that is one birthday I will never forget.

Happy (belated) Valentines Day to all the lovely TR lassies.

by onbliss

...with the Valentine's day and the celebrations. Fortunately my wife feels the same way.
We always bought stuff right away when we needed it, so on such "big" days we don't find any need to exchange gifts either.

It is just hard when I have to go and buy all those tiny Valentine cards for my son so that he can exchange them at his school. Anyway I just do it for his sake.
