They never offered a Saturday visit, and most of Saturday (up through 5, I realise) is already eaten.
Nutty--that sounds like the problem this unit was having.

Up for hivemind consideration: is it acceptable to throw one's own birthday party?
Yes, as long as it's not a ploy to get presents.
In my world it's more than acceptable--no one else is going to throw it for me.
How you can distinguish that from a ploy for presents--I'm not sure. I guess you could put something on the invite to not get you anything, but it's kinda weird that if someone else goes to the trouble of having a party for you it may be more acceptable to get gifts than if you'd done it yourself.
