Happy Birthday, Beth!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Happy Birthday!!
My best friend forgot my 40th birthday, didn't get a phone call. I was bummed. My DH gave me a card, made jokes, thought that was it. No surprise party the week before my b-day. Then the next Saturday, some friends took me out for lunch and when we got home, my best friend had drove in, several good friends were there and they all surprised me!
Hope you had a great day anyway, and that all our wishes picked you up a bit.
Brenda.

Happy Birthday!
I understand how you feel and I served the role as office birthday "recognizer" for everyone else. Of course, no one remembered my birthday, and to be honest, I didn't expect it
I hope you treat yourself to something special to mark this "big one." You deserve it!

Happy Birthday!!! Go do something really nice for yourself to mark your milestone AND take the edge of the disappointment!! Day spa? New toy for your bike? New bike?
I realized many years ago that my birthdays are *always* more fun when I do the organizing, LOL!, so I've never expected much initiative from friends and family. The result is that I go into a birthday *knowing* I'm going to have a great time! A party with DJ for my 30th; Paris for my 40th; a WomanTours trip for my 50th. And lots of meaningful girls-day-out jaunts with my precious pooch on the 'off' birthdays!......

Happy Birthday!
I'm sorry it was a let down.
No one did anything for my 40th birthday last year, either. I didn't even get a card from my husband. It sucks, doesn't it? That's ok...as my mom always says, "another birthday is better than the alternative", right?

I must be living under a stone. This is the first I've ever heard of black balloons for 5oth birthdays. What the....??? Who came up with that bizarre concept?
I had two birthday parties when I was a kid- my 4th and my 5th birthdays.
Nothing after that. I finally had to ASK DH for us to throw a birthday party for me last year on my 54th birthday. It was a great party with about 30 friends ('no gifts' was specified) and a wonderful banjo cake, and I felt very happy having had the party.
It's funny, because all my grown friends are always having birthday parties and throwing them for each other. Go figure. At least I had my one great memorable party last year.
Personally, I think it's somewhat pointless for 20 or more people working in an office to be throwing birthday parties for each other year after year. What an ordeal that would be! I'd think a card and maybe a song would be fine.Lisa
