Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. For some people, birthdays are a big deal. Some people want the works – party, gifts, cards, cake, and all the attention on them.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we get married and settle down, no one can anticipate what our future will hold. We date, fall in love, get married, and before we know it we live on a farm in the middle of nowhere with our wife and kids, when 10 years ago we thought we’d be a suave bachelor with a New York City apartment.
