What is a birthday? Birthday parties is how we celebrate the day that someone was born, and I know that we all know that but does the person really want to celebrate that day or would just like to be remembered on the day of their birth. We all do not like being the center of attention and I am one of those that would like just to be remembered somehow. I do not want cake or presents, but maybe a special card would be nice though. I know that I am or was a teacher and they are the center of attention in a classroom but that really is not the same as someone singing Happy Birthday to you and you really know that they really do not want to be there.

Book reviewing
For the past few years, I have been a volunteer book reviewer for several online sites. Honestly, I was looking for a paid position to review books for say Publisher's Weekly and a few other companies, but they have never let me know one way or another. Being a book reviewer, one learns a lot and it does get lonely at times as does being a freelance writer but that does not bother me. Books are great company for me. Books are our friends.

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

White House defended a video
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express deep concern regarding the recent incident involving President Donald Trump during his visit to the Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan. According to reports from CBS News and other outlets, the President appeared to respond to a heckler by **mouthing an expletive and displaying an obscene gesture**. While the White House defended this as an “appropriate and unambiguous response,” this behavior raises serious questions about the standards of conduct expected from the highest office in our nation.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.

This is a great piece. My eldest daughter always cried when we'd sing Happy Birthday to her. It was a sign she would never enjoy being the center of attention.
I took a birthday trip with my 3 adult children this year rather than a party! My request. Last party for me was 10 years ago.❤️
Lol, it's sooooo awkward when they're singing for us because I really don't know what to do hahahahaha
Oh, then it could be a tortuous buildup to the birthday! I think in some cultures they do it differently to chase away the years and not celebrate being older. Or we could look at it: hey, I made it another 12 months, LOL.
