I argued with my then wife and went to work where I hurt myself and on the way home I hit ice and slid off the road. My truck wasn't hurt so with the help of a passerby and my 4 wheel drive I got back on the road and home but I didn't enjoy the day. My son was born a few months later but all I can remember of the months before was not sleeping because I had to work nights then transport my pregnant wife to endless doctors appointments.
Hmmm not sure, maybe you can head over to seattle to go out or go snowboarding or eat some nice salmon and crab legs...no matter what you do thank you for your service and sacraficing things like being around friends and family on such a cool birthday...many of us appreciate it and ill be having a drink in honor of you
It's different for sure, growing up in the North GA mountains, to coming out on the North Pacific coast. Culture, and climate shock to say the least. And no need to thank me, it's not so bad.
The drinking age in Georgia was 19 when I turned that age, so it was more memorable than 21 was to me. There were times in my younger days when I would drink an entire case of beer in one night. I get far more enjoyment now from having one or two beers with good friends than I ever did back then.
I would drink less, a lot less. Probably the best thing would be to keep it simple. Maybe a nice evening with friends? Doesn't have to be a birthday party, just a nice time.
I'd buy as much Apple stock as I possibly could as the price for it then was a mere $27/share in March of 1981.
I've never been much of a drinker, but I do appreciate a drink from time to time. Craft beer, or a nice wine. Occasionally a whiskey.
I was in the service when I turned 21. I took a vacation day and took the day off. No family around that's for sure. Spend the day with some friends. Taking the day off started a tradition with me. I never worked on my birthday ever again. I figured it was my personal holiday. Greg W.
Why don't you go hunting for some shave gear? Look up some local antique shops, and see if they have vintage shaving gear. If you have questions, post some pics and we can help identify. I found 3 straights and a nice SE on my last birthday. I'm going to make it part of my birthday tradition. Treat youself to a nice meal at a local restaurant. Don't settle for a popular franchise chain. Go where the locals go. Are you stationed at JB Lewis-McCord?
It's not so bad... I got people delivering me pizza after all. I just hope they don't forget the smoked salmon this time.
