After 50, only celebrate the decades. Birthdays have just an arbitrary significance. It's an anniversary of something you can't possibly remember based on the speed of the earth's orbit around the sun. Ridiculous. If you love someone, tell them every day; not annually, to a prompt.

@Gareth Why wait until 50? We didn't bother after the 21st birthday! (Except for "milestones" ).

@Petter Because, you know .... friends.

@Jolanta

As a Christian, Bill is not on Agnostic.com. I'm safe.

@LiterateHiker You practice "safe social intercourse"!

I don't remeber birthday either. I struggle remebering names

@KKGator

Don't be a spoil sport.

@LiterateHiker
I'm not. You asked a question. I gave you an answer.
Just because it's not the answer you wanted doesn't mean I gave a wrong one.
I generally don't give adults birthday gifts. That's not being a "spoil sport".

@KKGator

"Why are you stressing it? It's clear that he isn't."

That sounds critical, like I care more about our relationship than Bill.

To celebrate his birthday, today Bill flew to Trout Lake in Idaho with friends. They plan to ride bicycles and kayak on the lake.

@LiterateHiker It's not intended to be "critical", but I do question why you felt you had to lie?
Again, you asked the question.

@KKGator

You are the only person being negative. Read other people's reactions.

@Great Nani:
"Good work!!!! Fast and thoughtful gift."

@KITDFOHS:
"I think you handled it quite well and I'm sure we all would have done the same or at least have done it."

@bigpawsbullets:
"But I salute your ability to rise to the occasion. Well done!"

@LiterateHiker I read the other comments. I simply do not agree.
I get to do that.
I also don't think I'm being "negative".

@Haemish1

Exactly. For 25 years, I have used Peet shoe/boot dryers.

@LiterateHiker
Some day I’ll get the advanced model that dries your gloves too

@Haemish1

I bought the Peet Glove DryPort attachment for shoe dryers.

Unfortunately, the plastic "hand" is too large for my gloves. It only works on my stretchy gloves. Just barely.

That's the only size Peet offers, although the picture on the box shows children's mittens and women's gloves.

@GreatNani

Thanks! Driving, I thought of a fallback position: Amazon.com.

@LiterateHiker I did the same thing! And I think my guy already has the book I gave him but was too sweet to say so.
