What do I want for my birthday?
-
Oh no no no. Lol. I think I'm all full up on Tim Robinson for a while.
Charity is a great idea, actually! Thank you.
And thanks for the birthday wishes. I didn't think about the fact that this question actually revolves around my birthday actually happening. Was kind of hoping to just ignore that. I'm at the age where I'd like to just pretend this getting old thing isn't truly happening.
For my birthday, I want immortality!
-
Now this is what I'm talking about.
-
If I didn't have to actually absorb all the calories from that amount of beer, this would be an amazing gift.
Seriously, I watch sitcoms where people are drinking beer after beer at home or going to bars all the time. My body simply can't keep up with that amount of input.
-
Yeah I definitely still have problems with remembering to do it, especially if I get an idea when I'm not at a place where it's easy to note the idea down. But even having a few things on there can be enough and sometimes help with jogging my memory about other things I wanted when it comes closer to an event.
-
Well, this morning I was able to get a few things down and then a few more things after that. I told my partner that I have a list for me and they got super excited.
I honestly don't care if I ever get around to getting most of these things, but for the sake of other people doing something like this is a big deal and I love seeing their excitement.
Plus, my youngest kid said they can't wait to get me another stuffed animal. I'm seriously hoping they can be steered towards something else that I don't have to put on my bed to make the poor kid happy. Lol.
-
Well I jog a lot and work construction so it evens out haha
-
Ask for world peace maybe it'll work.
-
I asked god. Still waiting for a response. Will let you know.
-
Oh yes. Jogging. I remember that.
I may have to start jogging again just for the beer.
-
She might get mad if you tell her this, but maybe you want some time to yourself. It's what I usually want on my birthday.
-
my usual responses when asked are:
- Cheap one: 6 pack of beer and a pizza
- Middle one: bottle of vodka and a take out
- Expensive one: bottle of scotch and a bar of dark chocolate

Mines comin up as well... I always struggled to be in the "here and now" and been too busy for years and dropped most of my hobbies, found a very old camera that I bought in 2010-11 from the storage room... Its too big, started looking at what is currently available, found Ricoh griiix, saw some forums with the sensor results and pocketability; might get me back into photography, back into "here and now"..... Take a look if you are into that.. Just leaving this thought here....
-
I think you lifted gift giving standards way up high and your partner wants to keep up
- Anything that can be consumed, eaten or drunk is a good gift.
- Tickets to some event you can both attend and spend quality time together. Maybe a concert
-
It's one of those things that you hide away for most of the year, but every now and then, when your partner's forgotten about it, you move it to the bathroom in the middle of the night
-
Oh man. There definitely would be uses for such a replica. I just had a lot of fun generating stupid ai images of this scene:
Generate Jean-luc Picard in bed, wearing a robe that is open to reveal a hairy chest. He's on his side, propping up his head with an arm. He has a pipe in mouth and is wagging his eyebrows, inviting you to join him.

It's a great idea. I did nearly the same exact thing some years ago. It helped a lot. It grounded me. Rejuvenated me. I want to be there again. TMI: since then, life has blown up... more than once... and left me pretty mangled. Hobbies and those life giving things dissipated. Mental health declined again. I started drowning in work and survival. But slowly I'm getting into a better place. I miss those walks with camera in hand. Watching life unfold around me. Capturing creatures living life in all their funny ways. Yes, I quite liked that. And while it may not happen in time for my bday, that craving is there and that's a good thing. I hope you're able to spend more time in the here and now, with camera in hand.
-
Yup, 100%. Consumable treats that you'd not normally buy yourself and experiences like events or lessons.
-
if i wanted something other than a bag of cocks i would just buy it
-
Tell them the they are the only gift you need and how lucky you are to have them in your life. Anything material just pails in comparison.
-
Ha! To which they will then melt in my arms and kiss me and tell me just how wonderful I am... only to then punch me in the arm and say... "now tell me what I can get you, dammit, or I will hurt you more!"
