Thanks.

My family celebrates birthdays, and it seems everyone is supposed to be happy when we have them. That's just the way my family is.

I'm doing better today..... the birthday thing is over, get on with life.

Glad you're feeling better. You always have friends to cheer you up here, Frieslander! :D

I like my birthday as long as no one makes a big deal out of it. I appreciate everything people do for me but all of the attention makes me feel uncomfortable for most of the day.

It seems that I'm one of those rare aspies who loves birthdays, because I see them as a celebration of life.
