It’s that time of year here in our house. Heather’s birthday was yesterday and mine in next Thursday. With our birthdays just a week apart, we tend to celebrate both at the same time. Yesterday was lunch followed by a movie – and yes I’m old enough to get the senior discount. This weekend will be dinner out at a fancy restaurant and likely a lot of overspending on stuff we don’t need with the excuse, “If you want it, I’ll buy it for your birthday.” So here’s everything else I know about birthdays:
Turns out birthdays are actually good for your health — the more birthdays you have the longer you live.
What kind of candles on a birthday cake burn longer? None, they all get shorter as the burn.
My cat said she wanted to buy us birthday presents, so we gave her a cat-alogue to order from.
Why put candles on top of a cake? Well, they don’t stay lit if you put them on the bottom.
Reminder, if you get balloons for the birthday party, don’t play pop-music …
What’s the best way to never forget your wife’s birthday? Forget it just once …
I once went to a 93 year old’s birthday party where his great granddaughter gave a very moving speech about his life — even the cake was in tiers.
I told my doctor I get heartburn every time I eat birthday cake. She told me to take the candles off before I eat.
I’m not so sure about AI. I told my ChatGPT that today was my birthday. It said I needed an upgrade and several worn parts replaced.
A true friend remembers your birthday, not your age.
Two candles are on top of a birthday cake and one says to the other, “Don’t birthdays burn you up?”
Did you know that they have birthdays in heaven? Yup, they serve Angel food cake.
I am another year older, but still far younger than my jokes.
My wife just came home from the store with a cake mix, icing, candles, a lighter and a fire extinguisher.
Andrew's View of the Week 
“… birthdays are actually good for your health…” – love that one. A birthday celebration for me these days (as in four days ago) is simply a home-cooked meal, a slice of cake, and a day where I can do whatever I want. No party, no balloons, nothing anyone would call a “celebration”. But I have to admit, I’m curious you found something worth seeing at the movie theater. Were you right?

Happy Birthday to you both! All I can say is that as we get older…ahem…more mature…, it’s important to keep a sense of humor. And you, my friend, do exactly that and provide good laughs for the rest of us.

I would like to extend that to “Mother” as I found out the hard way.
