    Wow, Jenn.....we must be soul sisters on some level. I have often said almost the exact thing.....I don't expect anything from anyone, and I am seldom disappointed.
    Wow. I'm sorry you feel that way; it's not a good feeling for me.

    You are sweet!!!! my b day is today

    HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU JENN!!! You were on my list but I was tied up at the doctor's office all day, having X-rays, MRI, the works!....thus just now came on line here....I hope you have at least 35 more and twice over that to boot!....(:

    ole hipster

    P.S. Believe me when I say that you are also not alone in disliking birthdays....always found them to be rather disappointing....gets worse as you get older (and for obvious reasons!) but....girl, you're so young...enjoy them for what they are....another years passage in your own life as the consequences of not having a life rather suck, don't you think?....(:
    Jenn

    Are you ok Hippy? What is going on?????
    It is not the getting older that bothers me.. It is the lack of good friends and family.
    ole hipster

    If you see this comment to your comment, I'm OK....I just have a lot of spinal problems that needed tending to...not to worry....hope you had a really great birthday kiddo!...(:

    I hate the idea of all the commercialized hoopla at Christmas. I like my Birthday because it's on Thanksgiving every 4 years.
    mycatsmom

    I'm not a Christmas person either b/c I lost my husband and my mom within a year and 1/2 . Then, my brother, who is my only relative, took to NOT paying any attention to me and he lives in another state. Same with my step-daughter and her kids. Many of my frineds moved away .
    Jenn

    HAPPY  BIRTHDAY BENTHERE, I HOPE YOUR DAY HAS BEEN WONDERFUL !!!!!!!

     


    ""       HAPPY  BIRTHDAY  JENN !!!!!  I HOPE YOU'VE HAD A WONDERFUL DAY !!!!!  LOVE YA.

    Jenn

    Always!!!! Well... maybe not always...

    jenn  -- you have the sweetest voice. 

    Jenn

    What???? When did I talk to you?
    Jenn

    Ok itsmee.... It is driving me crazy!!!!!!
    PLZ tell me when I spoke to you.

    Ole hipster ... you ok?  MRI's? Xrays? The works? Oh my.  i've been there, friend.

    Birthdays suck, especially the last thirty. Going to remove all the mirrors from the house. To painful to walk by them. Just a mere shell of a man I once was.

    Jenn

    You are crazy!!!!

    Really ed? I just can't believe it.

    Sorry ladies but I'm bummed out lately, lost my step father a couple of weeks ago (Alzheimer's), and my mother is so far gone, also from the same disease. Not something I'm looking forward to in the future.

    It's all in how you look at it,,,,,,if you think of it as a yearly funeral for yourself it's no wonder you hate your birthdays!   I agree that that aren't as much fun as they used to be, and I'm 48, but I try to live each month of each year with the good things I have about me, especially physically, and utilize them and appreciate them. Mental attitude has THE most power over how our lives will play out, more than any other factor and, so, for sure, seeking out and locating the good things abt your life and abt your health is the most beneficial thing you can do to improve the quality of your life as you grow older. Aging is inevitable, it's how you respond to it, for your own sake, that can make your life actually enjoyable as the years pass. And I speak this as a person who has struggled with mild to moderate depression throughout my life.  This is the one most important lesson I've learned from my experiences.

    Jenn

    Thank you for sharing... I too struggle with depression.. as well as some other issues. I am proud of my age and Idont mind aging.. (although time has been very gentle on my apperance). I have always had it in my head that on my birthday ppl would go out of their way to find me or be with me... I have been this way since I was a little girl... I live my live not expecting of anyone.. But it never fails... I expect on that one day. Silly I know.. But i am perfectly aware I am a nut bar...

    Wow mitchmar that was really lovley in what you wrote I to belive that one must have PMA at all time and often we just have to kick our back sides to remember it well done and thank you sharing lol
    mycatsmom

    So Jenn ---don't keep us in suspence ! So how old are you , or at least give us the decade
    Jenn

    I am 35. With no shame in it at all.

    Just thank God that you are healthy; and that you've got a loving family ; and enough to eat; and a car that runs; and that your husb has a job. And that your kids are ok. And give your thanks to God that you made it this far. Embrace your b/day .

    Jenn how can you be unhappy when you are so lovely to look at and have a loving heart, don`t expecpt others to see the world through your eyes but but do what you alone can do.


    BE THE VERY BEST "YOU" THAT YOU can, nobody but nobody can make a better job of being you than you. Give `til it hurts but don`t expect anything in return because as sure as the sun rises in the east if you do you will be dissapointed.


    Today is not your birthday, you only ever have one of those,but it is the anniversary of your birth and each anniversary will make you a stronger and better person until you are old and wise like me wink, wink.


    If it is any consolation I also had severe depression, but with the help of a shrink and suitable meds I triumphed and became a better person than I had ever been.


    Do this now, look over your right shoulder, see the light at the end of the tunnel?


    Happy anniversary my sweet one.xxxx


    Remember don`t wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet it. In the grand scheme of things the best person to help you is you, so get off your,I am sure cute little butt and start swimming.(((X))) your lovebug

    Jenn

    You are the best... How can you see those tiny little pictures of me... LOL...
    I like "the anniversary" idea...
    And yes, I need to get off of my not so tiny butt!
    You will be happy to know I literally looked over my should..:)
    Love you lovebug!
    PEOPLELOVER

    I knew you would look over your shoulder because you know I am a smarty pants.
    Jenn

    Why do I not believe you are as old as you claim to be?

    Keep smoking and your birthday will be a funeral
