I never celebrate my birthday, it's just a reminder of being born, the worst that has happened to me. My mother, my brother and friends also never fail to bother me about it but I usually stay at home on that day.

As a general rule, we try to leave town for my birthday. Otherwise, my mother will want to have some kind of big to-do. For my 50th, I made sure we were as far out of town as possible, namely a rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mind you, anybody who's ever known me would say, "You? A rodeo?" But it was a blast. But my mom and siblings were a trifle annoyed that I wasn't in town to celebrate.

Never have as an adult, even before every human I cared about and who cared about me died off.

Sure do!
To still be breathing after another year is worth celebrating!

It's my own personal holiday. People I like want to buy me drinks and eat cake with me. What's not to like?

I usually turn my phone off on my birthday.

I celebrate for more than a day, lol, as in "This is my birthday week, so you have to be nice to me!". I announce "it's my birthday today!" the same as when I was a kid. I am so grateful to still be here, and to have my family and friends to celebrate with.

Not really, but not because I'm mopey. It's just that my idea of celebrating is a quite night at home, eating cake and not making dinner People think I'm depressed about getting older. Nope, not the case!

My mother always insists on baking a cake even though I've asked her not to.
