Thanks for the tag...I will try to get to it at some point in the future...(As Roxy can attest, sometimes I do these and sometimes I don't...or sometimes I weave them into something entirely different. So we'll see.) thanks for the comments.<BR/><BR/>jenn--Exactly like a hocky game. In fact, it almost feels a bit like they're saying "Puck U" by refusing to acknowledge your b-day. <BR/><BR/>Roxy--Aren't you sweet? (I mean, seriously, aren't you? Heh, heh) The age lie will ALWAYS catch up with you. I had a friend who found out her husband was actually seven years older than she thought on her wedding day. And the only reason she did was because her mother happened to be talking to the groom's mother and it sort of slipped out. Talk about a shocker!!!<BR/><BR/>lidian--I know what you mean about being a Scorpio. I feel the same way. <BR/><BR/>grumpus--I have not yet found out why they don't celebrate birthdays. But believe me, when I do, I will certainly post all about it. <BR/><BR/>roxy--regarding HSM...glad you enjoyed it...I remember seeing the original a few years ago quite by accident...and though I kept planning to change the channel, I found myself really enjoying it. Like an old fashioned musical with a modern beat. I actually met Mr. Filichia many years ago. He was a judge at a play festival I was in. How was Bailey, the girl who won the role in Legally Blonde?<BR/><BR/>desperateblogger--I would agree with you on the religious belief theory, except neither of them are particularly religious. And they have not always had this attitude, because several years ago I remember them being at another person's birthday event. So maybe it's just me!!!!Henson Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488179170722007018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-90572338784599741632008-11-17T03:10:00.000-08:002008-11-17T03:10:00.000-08:00belated happy birthday. i think the quirky couple'...belated happy birthday. i think the quirky couple's religious belief has something to do against them celebrating birthdays. Just to get one over them I would have been crazy enough to apologize for "having a birthday". it was your birthday for crying out loud.desperatebloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394474557855361562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-21001630914612727012008-11-16T19:54:00.000-08:002008-11-16T19:54:00.000-08:00Henson,A while back you stopped by Roxy's Best Of....Henson,<BR/>A while back you stopped by Roxy's Best Of... New Jersey and commented on my post about High School Musical On Stage at Paper Mill Playhouse. Well, I'm too sleepy tonight to post London and Maddie’s review of this afternoon’s performance, but the girls, Rex and I, along with the rest of London’s Brownie troop, really enjoyed ourselves. I’ve already seen an extremely negative review from Peter Filichia at the Star-Ledger, but he clearly hated Disney’s High School Musical concept from the git-go. I know you’re a big Disney fan, but don’t know if you’ve seen the Disney Channel movie(s)…in a nutshell, think modern-day Grease with a G rating.<BR/>RoxyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-5078610814089272942008-11-15T20:41:00.000-08:002008-11-15T20:41:00.000-08:00Did you ever find out what their dealio was?

It's fine to have quirks, but not to try and spoil everyone's fun with them. When I have deeply felt feelings about seemingly-innocuous stuff, I stay home!daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670080158732044043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-78493061746630963632008-11-15T15:21:00.000-08:002008-11-15T15:21:00.000-08:00Well, the really interesting bit to me is why they...Well, the really interesting bit to me is why they wanted to come, after all that - I sense a short story in there somewhere, maybe. Possibly. <BR/><BR/>Happy birthday, by the way.

We have friend in NYC who have a nanny who refuses to take their children to birthday parties, says it is against her religious beliefs...<BR/><BR/>My own example of friends with weird quirks is a couple who lies to their kids about their ages...since they had twins when the wife was 47ish and the husband 54ish, they tell their kids that they are 10 years younger. As challenging for me as the birthday party was for you, since I didn't know about the deception until after I had told my own kids how old the parents in question really were.<BR/><BR/>Here's to weird quirks...gives the rest of us something to write about!<BR/><BR/>RoxyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-2933539099956887332008-11-14T13:23:00.000-08:002008-11-14T13:23:00.000-08:00Well, geez-- It's a bit like going to an ice hocke...Well, geez-- It's a bit like going to an ice hockey game but insisting the temperature be turned up to a balmy 80 because you personally can't stand the cold. It's fairly inconsiderate, really, to expect a festivity not for you to be planned around your quirks.<BR/><BR/>(I mean "you" second person, not YOU you. I mean, as, erm, Unbirthday Boy, I can see your bewilderment.)<BR/><BR/>This was a totally new one on me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497922338860035706.post-80486119792825993202008-11-14T12:47:00.000-08:002008-11-14T12:47:00.000-08:00Glad you enjoyed the birthday anyway.People are fu...Glad you enjoyed the birthday anyway.<BR/><BR/>People are funny, they do say.
