Is there a statute of limitations on birthday forgetting?

Makes total sense!!! My birthday is in the summer, so that explains a lot. I don't think we celebrated it in school though.
Then the day came and.....nothing! I was devastated, but managed to hide it. I was too shy to come right out and tell the teacher, so I kind of hinted around all day (well half day, because it was kindergarten), but she never got the message. On the walk home I finally lost it and cried all the way to my grandma's house.
And I've hated celebrating my birthday ever since.
Have you ever thought of litigation for emotional distress?

I did learn something from the experience, though. If you don't speak up for what's yours, you won't get it. So if you want it, say something.

That's seriously not a problem around here........

Re: How Fitting.....
I must be, too! I was commenting on how many of us have no trouble saying what they want. I definitely include myself in that group. I believe Pea was adding herself. I would also add you, and Sprots, and everyone else who just comes out and says stuff rather than just hiding until stuff goes away.littlebeast13 wrote:Sisyphean Fan wrote:What the hell?

"Demure" is a 50's kind of thing. I don't do 50's, or pearls, despite my current avatar...

I apologize for all the stuff that I have said that has you feel like you are getting slammed. I have never intended to slam you or stir your shit and I have always thought we were playing like two little kittens who sometimes forget that they have their claws out.
I have intended to stir others shit - not you.
I am sure mini was just playing - I am sure she was not intending to stir your shit (as it were).
ghost was doing ghost.
You are not feeling well.
I am sorry.

Heck, I can't even get LB to Vegas. Maybe we can talk about rearranging the time a bit, since some people have said they can't make it on the originally proposed date, to coincide with his vacation.
Then we'll shanghai him! (That was the Word of the Day in Toastmasters today.)
