Thanks for helping me keep perspective.
I wonder if/how they do birthdays for patients at nursing homes who do not have family involved in their lives.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

From what I've seen, I don't think they do anything, but most people on my father's unit wouldn't have any idea what day it is, despite the sign on the wall.
Sending the ~ma for Dana's dude!
I'm sorry about the news on your sister's marriage, Tommy. So hard on everyone.
Still over visiting with my family since my sister is here for Mom's birthday. So pleased that my son and his girlfriend both took off from their jobs yesterday to come over and see her. What good kids! They weren't even prompted to do so. Now we have a surprise party planned for my son tomorrow. Not sure if my family will be able to come over, depends on Mom, but the Holt side and friends will be there.
The only way I can keep track of anyone's birthday is FB and the calendar app on my phone. One year I forgot my own.
One year I forgot my own.
"There's something significant about today, what is it, what is it--oh, yeah. Now, how old am I? Crap, I'm going to have to do the math, what year is it again?"
Timelies all!
I mostly remember what month my friends were born in. Family I remember exact dates.
Heard at the bagel place this morning as I got something to eat, from a youngish girl turning to talk to her friend:
"Are you Aaron Burr, sir?"
Her friend just kind of sighed very patiently.
I went to a local arboretum with a friend today. Afterwards, in the parking lot, she said "Yo" and I ran with "Turns out we had a secret weapon" through, "favorite fighting Frenchman!"
She is the person who gave me a copy of the Hamiltome as a thank you for introducing her to the musical, so she just laughed at me.

Yaaaaasssss.
My mother famously forgot my sister's birthday one year. This is all the more remarkable because she remembered my birthday and we are only one day apart.
My parents' retirement community (which has houses for active folks through nursing and dementia care as they need it) has a TV channel that posts birthdays, from which you can opt out if you don't want the whole place knowing.
