I would expect nothing less. I have a lot less formal education than I should have. :p

Owlga, you poor thing, what happened? Is everyone alright?

Yeah everyone is alright. Just Janet had a super disappointing birthday. She's pretty used to them going bad, but that doesn't mean she hopes for better every time.

Hell we couldn't even get a cake.

Bad days aren't fun. Especially when they are on a day that's supposed to be special.

I'm not particularly fond of birthdays, but not having a cake sounds kind of crappy.

Would it be possible to make your own?

At least everyone's okay though. I've had a few birthdays where people have walked away injured.

No ingredients. I checked and asked. There's only 2 hours left of her birthday anyway.

I'm sure if Bay12 brought all its collective mental powers together, we could make her a a psychic birthday cake. With lasers on top. And hookers. And booze.

Hell forget the cake.

... drunk solid light nightwalkers? Hell, if we're dealing with that level of technology, they could probably taste like cake.

That said, condolences O & Co. If it makes you feel any better (admittedly doubtful, considering the no-cake was a small part of it), I haven't had cake on my birthday for a few years now. Usually treat m'self to meat, instead, but eh.

The worst part of the meat thing was her birthday landed on a Friday. Janet is catholic and observes that weird lent thing where you don't eat fish on Friday. So no meat today even.

I am now imagining poor sad Janet, sitting alone on a sling and occasionally sighing. I wish I could help you someway.

She's a bit better now.
Give hugs.
Give supports.
Tell her your support.

Trying to make your wifes birthday something she's happy about is really, really hard when you and no one you know in person has money. And at least one person you know otherwise ends up just making things much worse by accident. I'm pretty sure she's going to remember this year poorly too now.

At the very least I can be here for her. But that's literally all I can do, and that's not going to help push away some rather painful memories she's started to associate with growing a year older.
Hmm.

Well, here, we (and I speak for many, many people around including myself) usually don't have money for birthdays, or even extravagence, so we usually put the deed to heart and spirit--that we make it a great day by doing stuff other then money-related-things. [No cake, even. Just good deeds and hugs and family/people-centered love and care] What we usually do is write a card, or in my case, draw something then give hugs.
Always putting an 'I love you [person]' on the side because yeah. Nothing wrong with saying I love you.
It's the thought that counts, and growing 1 year older = 1 year of lifetime experience wherein you can remember all the good things that happened (even if there's a voice that said nothing good happened, Good stuff did happen).
And if there's bad stuff? So what? It does nobody good if you won't learn from it (or...brood on it), but a birthday = a good day. :)

Do what you think is best if you can't get a cake.

The worst part of the meat thing was her birthday landed on a Friday. Janet is catholic and observes that weird lent thing where you don't eat fish on Friday. So no meat today even.
:O
It's not weird, silly!
*is catholic*

No ingredients. I checked and asked. There's only 2 hours left of her birthday anyway.
*cheer cheer Owlga!*

This imagery makes me sad.
But still: Go Owlga, go! :D




To not derail:
Sad(?): I don't get cakes for my birthday. But I'm ok with that.
...What makes me sad is...err, that others are sad? Which is totally not related to anything. Just that others are sad = me sad.
Yeah, my empathy is weird.
Wherein Tiruin pushes a negative attribute to something that isn't probably negative at all because of past experiences!

I thought it was supposed to be fish on friday instead of meat? All the burger chains around here have dirt cheap fish sandwiches (once upon a time, they were 25 cents, now they're 2/~$2-3) on fridays during lent.

It is fish on friday instead of meat. Meat is prohibited for everyone ~adult age-ish (18+ here).
Fish is totally OK!

I never get anything for my birthday, but then again I'm already spoiled rotten.

I always tell people I don't want anything, but they get me stuff anyway.
