What do I want for my birthday?
-
Easy: "I WANNA SIX PACK O BEER AND AN EMPTY HOUSE"
-
Ha! You're on to something with that!
-
-
I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don't have to store or return anything.
-
Same, If honestly just skip my birthday if that was an option
-
Oh I gotta watch more InThink You Should Leave.
Maybe have them donate to some charities of your choice.
Happy birthday!

Now this is what I'm talking about.

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
