That was such a...Maxwell-ish...tribute/birthday wish.

My mom's birthday was last week and her wishes were to be happy, enjoy her day, do whatever she wants, make the most of it, celebrate her day and herself. She turned 65 and her husband got her a cake that was a copy of her Medicare card. It was freaking hilarious.

Then again, in my family, birthdays are fun and the Maxwells don't do fun.

They can sit around and cry that Steve only has 20 or so years left? Mourn him now while he is around to enjoy it.

No, no no no no no!!! Scripture clearly states that 'the years of a man are threescore and ten' = 70. Thus Steve dares not slow down, thinking he can pace himself for another couple decades. There's one left. One.

I remember that verse because my darlin' departed Big Daddy Junebug used to quote it as he neared 70. Then as he passed 70 and lived in good spirits and health for another decade, he'd quote it and say, "So all these years are a bonus!" :lol:

BDJB would've been 95 this week. Lucille Ball would've been 100. Steve's turning 60. I don't believe in horoscopes, but it is interesting to me to see how similar people seem to have birthdays around the same time.

In the case of Steve, the late, great Lucille, and my own dear dad, the similarities are: extremely strong personalities, visions and the oomph to make those visions reality; strong wills and beliefs that aren't easily changed when challenged. :D

Don't the Maxwell family make bran muffins or something as an occasional splurgey dessert? I put my money on those, as whatever celebratory comestible they produce.

I also bet the "gifts" will be recitations of undying fealty to the guy.

The Maxwells seem so incredibly bland and boring to me. Clean, read the Bible, pack books, clean Uriah, lead services, give talks and clean some more. Oh, and weep on New Year's Eve. It always surprises me when I read something about them, let alone write. Weird set-up (as BDJB would've said)!!! :)

Oh, Stevie, on this special day God has blessed us with, all I wish to say is:

So much better than bran muffins.

Boy isn't that true. Forgive the ot, but it always interested me that Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna were born, not only in the same year, but all within 2 1/2 months of each other. Garth Brooks and Clint Black, country stars around the same time, were born same year, same month, within a couple of weeks of each other. Again, sorry for the ot, but it's so true.

And back on topic; Happy Birthday Steve. Now free your family.

Maybe they will really live it up and make a double batch of bran muffins. Yeah.

Or maybe they added some meat to their Sunday burritos! :D

That means he graduated high school in the class of '69. Today is also the 60th birthday of the first guy that broke my heart into a million little pieces. Yes, i gave away my heart, he was also the best kisser I ever met. Hands down. He was a trumpet player.

So Steve have a happy birthday even though you are obsessed with death and dying. :violin:

I had the opposite reaction to Lucille Ball & Steve Maxwell. Lucy dedicated her life to bringing joy and laughter into the world, while Steve does just the opposite.

Steve Maxwell is ONLY turning 60?! My god, I thought he and Terry were much older than that (well, at least Terry)!

I hope his birthday is as delightful as he is.

My guess is that they will "celebrate" by offering individual tributes to Steve--you know, "Thanks, Dad, for modeling godly character for us, and for making me long for the sweet release of death--I mean, teaching us how important salvation is..." Perhaps they will also give him a new custom banner with a verse about death.

A couple of years ago, he refused a cake. He graciously allowed everybody to have 2 animal crackers each for a birthday dessert. :roll:

How friggin magnanimous of him to allow such depraved frivolity, and I bet they weren't the frosted ones either. What an ass.

You know he derives great pleasure from those power trips that make his family suffer even more than usual. Jack ass!

TWO animal crackers?! I hope they didn't turn them into idols with all that reckless abandon!

What a blowhard he is. What is his problem? Really, what makes someone so miserable?

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
