Ok. I'm 55 and my brother is 66. A couple of years ago---as a joke-----he sent me a birthday card with $2 in it. The note said "happy birthday! Go buy yourself something real nice." Made me laugh.

@nana59 That must be a nice memory and thanks for the cute little story about you and your dad.

So...maybe Jane was just remembering a nice memory about her father. And she gave you something to post about that triggered a nice memory for you and some others, too.

I can think of worse things.

You heard a snippet of the story and it was out of context. Perhaps it was a sweet story about family.

I seldom received birthday gifts from my parents. In the past five years they did give me two gifts of money and it was a generous amount, and much appreciated. When I was young they might give me a belt or some other small thing, but I have no recollection of major gift giving. I just accepted it. They are well situated so they could have, but they didn't.

Speaking of birthday cards, I know of two brothers who sent each other the same birthday card back and forth for many, many years. I've often wondered what eventually happened to that old dog-eared birthday card. It eventually got to the point that there was no longer room to write anything on it!!

Jane was having a great time last night. Usually one story leads to another. That's just Jane. She looked really nice too.

We were a large family and we each got $5 for a birthday. It seemed OK to me.

Jane did look really nice, she had on a beautiful dress and the dress on my screen, appeared to be kind of pale champagne color. I actually don't mind hearing some of her stories, somehow she does relate everything back to the product being sold, when she mentioned the birthday gift.
