I have a thing about birthdays. I have been doing these birthday call outs in many places since 2002 or so. I recall getting thrown off of AOL for instance a few times. This was before we moved to the Villages in 2005 from Palm Harbor, Florida.

Been checking on this thread since it started and never figured it to be much more than a place for pleasantries and simple expression of good will. Acknowledgement of one another. I haven't read every post, just most of them.
As for birthdays, I am the opposite. As a VERY nearsighted child, I was very shy and had very low self-esteem. I was in 2nd grade before anyone realized I wasn't "slow", just blind. I hated anything that focused attention on me. Mostly, I hated my birthday. Still do. I think I am the only birthday ignorer in the world. My wife loves hers. Always make a fuss over her birthday.
