Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsIt's my Beatles birthday! 64!
Probably worst birthday ever. Then again, everyone is having that kind of birthday this year. Thank goodness there is one good thing I can say about it. The Beatles wrote a song many years ago, and today I get to claim it as mine!
Please enjoy this song. I've been waiting to do this for many a year.
(I broke one, possibly more than one, teeth a few days ago, and I'm in considerable pain. Will probably not reply if there are any responses in here. Mostly, I just wanted everybody to enjoy a Beatles song!)

(9,651 posts)As for the feeding part, I have to laugh at the irony. Of all days to not be able to eat something yummy, it's today. Was really looking forward to something hot and spicy this evening. Instead, I ate peanut butter! The sore teeth will only tolerate so much.
My dad would have celebrated his 101st birthday this year as well! I wish he could have been here to celebrate that day, but I'm glad he's not here to see what's been going on in the country.
Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)When I woke up this morning, it hit me that next year I will be 65. And all I could think was, 'how in the heck did THAT happen?' I want to be 16 again. Way back when, when all the body parts still worked.
Instead I get to look forward to Medicare!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.

(9,651 posts)Then again, it's probably good that you didn't.
I think it was a bit embarrassing!
But it's the Beatles, so it's all good!
Thank you for putting another great song into my special day!

Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)I sat here all day thinking about how I would love to have some wine. I didn't think it would go very well with the pain meds.
I'll be looking forward to giving you birthday wishes next month!

(11,155 posts)I am hoping to get a really good present on or just before, 10 PM that Tuesday would be nice. Want a similar present to the one I got in 2008. Though will have to wait until January 20th at Noon to fully appreciate it. WooHoo 94 days until my birthday!
And get off my lawn you rapscallions!

Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)Not nearly as much as I should have. I guess I should have listened to the lyrics a little more closely.
But I'll get by, with a Little Help from My Friends.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Be safe, but enjoy.

(9,651 posts)The second I can chew properly, and I'm not on pain meds, I'll be doing that too. I don't care if it's belated.
I think I'll enjoy it even more!

(9,651 posts)I heard from so many people, received some surprise gifts, and basically had a lazy day. And of course I listened to some Beatles music!

I'm past 64 but still think I am 25 so here is a song for that:

(9,651 posts)I think that song covered every birthday. Lol.
Most days my brain thinks I'm about 17. Most days I act like I'm 12. But my body definitely knows it's 64. And then some! Seeing the dentist on Tuesday. For once I'm actually looking forward to going to the dentist.

Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)Must be 16. Have to have the driver's license.
We sure did think we were Immortal at that age. Where did the time go?

(34,051 posts)this year birthdays SUCK for a lot of people
and it just feels all the worse when you're hurting
hope you have something to help you ease the pain
(and remember mashed potatoes, warm soup and soggy crackers, pudding, yogart, and instant oatmeal, are your friends when it comes to fucked up teeth)
happy birthday (in spite of it all) from one duer to another
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)And I'm glad you reminded me about oatmeal. I have a ton of it in the house and for some reason I didn't think to start eating it! That will definitely help me get through the next few days.
And thankfully, I do have pain meds. Just took one a little while ago.

(9,651 posts)My dad was like you. My mom was like me. We could stay up half the night and sleep half the day.
My dad, on the other hand, he never got out of his Army days schedule! And he was only in during World War II.
He never went to bed late. But we knew if he slept in, he wasn't feeling well.
To the early birds and the night owls!

Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)I've always had this weird thing about wanting to die with all of my own teeth. I think it had something to do with watching my dad deal with dentures over the years.
Looks like I'll be going under the grass with at least one fake tooth. Oh well, that's life. At least I'm still on this side of the grass at this point in time.

(9,651 posts)It was. Late last night I finally opened up all my birthday cards and found some more surprises. Let's just say I get to go on a shopping spree at Amazon.

(7,605 posts)I'm sorry that you're enduring dental pain on your birthday. I hope that you can see a dental professional soon to get that taken care of.
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)It works even when it's belated!
Going to the dentist on Tuesday. In the meantime, it's liquids and soft foods for me. And you know the second you can't eat anything solid is the second you are dying for something like a burger, or a yummy burrito filled with all kinds of goodies.
Someone gave me a box of See's Candy for my birthday. She had someone else pick it up so she didn't know what was inside of it. I had my fingers crossed that it was cream centers. So of course I open it up and it's all full of nuts. I can't even eat it! At least it won't go bad while it's waiting for me to recover. Lol!
Niagara
(7,605 posts)I'm happy to hear that you have a dental appointment made. It's no fun being in pain and not being able to eat solid food.
Once you get on the mend and healed, then you can dig into your birthday candy. Yum!

now I have get my speakers out, plug everything in, put it on full blast, and then dance the night away!
As Stewie would say, "Damn you, woman!!"
========
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)And I don't feel guilty at all for forcing you to get out all that equipment to listen to Beatles music! LOL!
Any other music, I might feel a twinge of guilt.
But when it's the Beatles? No way!

Now keep dancing!
