Birthday e-card and gift from a man I met 15 years ago. Why?
Today I am celebrating my birthday by hiking to Janus Lake with two women. Blueberries!
Tom also sent me a $25 gift card. I got to choose the store. I feel grateful and gobsmacked.
Years ago, Tom and I met, had lunch and went for a walk. I remember standing on a bridge in a dress, talking and laughing with him. We never got together again.
We didn't make a good match. He's a Republican and not a hiker. Tom sends me a funny e-birthday card every year. He sent me a $25 gift card for my birthday at least 10 times.
If I sent a $25 gift card to every man I met through online dating, I'd be in debtor's prison.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Happy birthday. I went hiking some months ago in Norway. It was one of the best trips of my entire life. I also learned a lot about the nordic culture and Vikings. I also bought some norse gifts for my father, a Viking fan. I dreamed about this trip not only because I love nordic culture but also because Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It was an expensive trip, but it was worth it. I hope I will have the possibility to visit this beautiful country again.

Everybody else wished you a happy birthday so that would be pointless, I hope the blueberries are good.
Happy birthday

Last weekend, hikers stripped the blueberry bushes. I found a few.
We were shocked because the blueberry bushes look badly dessicated. Drought. Not enough rain.
You obviously completely underestimate your wonderful charms.

Thank you, darling!
Most of the time I think I'm ridiculous with such high energy and enthusiasm.
I'm like Tigger.
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers
Is I'm the only one!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I can't relate to this story at all.

Your lucky. Obviously you made a good impression on him and he knows also nothing substantial will ever come out of but some guys just enjoy doing that to a friend no strings attached because he knows it will Brighton your day up. Especially for what ever reason you have been in a downer. It is sort of like paying it forward. Happens quite often here some one will but a coffee and leave the money for another one and the waitress can give it to whom ever or they may specify the next person or third person. You never know who did it but makes one feel good. You make people feel good and brings a warm smile to them when your name enters their mind It is more of a thank you for just being you
