A Year in the Life of my Substack
Happy Birthday to your Substack! Iām here because of you šš
I have been proposing the widespread adoption of 'International Birthday Rules' for many years. They are, at the time of writing, as follows:
#1 you are king or Queen for a day. You get what you want. you can do what you want. you don't have to explain yourself.
#2 It is your birthday until the next person you know has a birthday. This could be several days or even weeks.
#3 You get to decide how old you are and no one can take that away from you.
#4 You are not obliged to eat or do anything that is healthy for you. This is a direct call back and reinforcement of rule #1.
#5 Friends who do not wish you a happy birthday are excluded from festivities at your discretion.
Amendment #A: people who wish you happy birthday only because they learned about it from facebook are also subjectĀ toĀ ruleĀ #5
Happiest of birthdays to you Sharon! Thanks for the mention, it was such a pleasure to speak with you earlier this year.
Happy Birthday (early)!
Happy Birthday Sharon & I always enjoy reading your Substack! šā¤ļø
Happy (almost) birthday, Sharon!
Happy Birthday sister Aquarian! This is my birthday month, too!
And congratulations on the anniversary of your wonderful substack!
