This coming Monday - My most depressing birthday... EVER!!!

[MrScorpio]

My wife is still out of town. And I'm stuck here all alone.

Man, this sucks.

[TahitiNut]

1. Do it the Scandanavian way ...

Get a coffee cake or two and invite the neighbors in for coffee and coffee cake to celebrate your birthday.

[MrScorpio]

2. I have no friends

A sad side effect of that military lifestyle. I'm here all alone.

[XNASA]

3. If you're still young enough to get worked up over your birthday,

...then you've got nothing to complain about.

BTW, Happy Birthday, in advance.

:beer:

[MrScorpio]

6. I suppose

It's more of a combination of me missing my wife plus the fact that we've been together to celebarate my b-day for the last 15 years.

This is usually a happy time for me. My fave time of year.

But now I don't really give a fuck about anything

[Clete]

4. Yes, happy birthday.

And come to DU to celebrate.

[burrowowl]

5. Take coffee cakes

or what not to an old age home or something and just talk and celebrate with people who may have lost their beter half.
Happy Birthday
A fellow Scorpion

[roguevalley]

7. Go some place where there is people, honey.

If you live in a neat town, go to a carnie or a museum
or a movie or something. Happy Birthday to you and come
by for a cyber party on your day.

[MrScorpio]

8. I was thinking...

About going to Hooters for some hotwings.

But since I want to lose some weight, it's the last thing I need.

I would go to DC, but with the protests this weekend, an even more crowded DC is the last place I should drive to.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. Ahhh JEEEEZZZZZZ!!!

Go to Hooters! Have a triple order of Hot Wings! Wash them down with beer! Have some oysters, too! It's yer' birfday! Live it up!

Or you can put ball-bearings in your shoes and walk 5 miles. Yer' cherse.

[MrScorpio]

11. I don't drink

But... I'll go for the hotwings.

You talked me into it.

[Clete]

10. The protests are the best place to be with fellow DUers.

[AndyTiedye]

12. Then Take The Train to DC

[MrScorpio]

13. You know, I went to DC last weekend

I'm really not up to another trip this soon

I'll check out the protest on C-Span.

That way I can chill at home

[Beaker]

14. What kind of a Scorpio are you?

Wife out of town on your birthday?
Go out and get laid, prove you're stil a scorpio.

[MrScorpio]

15. Faithfulness and loyalty are key Scorpio traits

and I enbrace them fully. I'm not fucking anybody.

But I'm not above a lap dance or two.

The problem is they can become quite expensive.

[Cat Atomic]

16. Meh- you should be happy. Birthdays suck ass.

Why celebrate the fact that you're one year closer to Sweet Oblivion?

My birthday's coming up on Halloween, and I intend to hide from it.

[MrScorpio]

17. Make sure to wear a good costume

That way it won't find you.

[Cat Atomic]

18. I'm going as a Space Burgler.

I have this clear helmet thing... and I just dress like a regular burgler, then put the helmet over the top. C'est facile. :P

[corarose]

19. Hey fellow Scorpio!

I have a b-day on the 21'st and I will be alone and I don't have a husband so don't complain at least you can have a belated b-day party.

Happy Birthday!

[peacefreak]

20. Let's hear it for Scorps

I've spent a number of birthdays alone. I've taken myself to museums to see exhibits, to my local CD store & let me buy me whatever my little heart desired or to a movie. At some point during the day I sit down & journal about who & what are important to me. At night I get a good bottle of wine & make my favorite meal (Chicken Tarragon, baby carrots in a maple glaze & raspberry sorbet). The point is to honor yourself. Make a great day. Love, P.

[Skittles]

21. I SHOULD COME OVER AND KICK YOUR ASS, SCORPIO

Yeah that's right. Let your wife have a break already! :7

on edit - I hear you about the military lifestyle. I'm a GI brat and veteran and know exactly what you mean.
