I just had my 40th birthday celebration, the first birthday I have had any party for since I was 13 years old and I am pretty feeling good. AMA

My friend threw me the first party I have had since I was 13 years old. I am a past tipsy but not drunk. It was at a D&D themed board gaming bar. Ask me anything, about my party, or my 40 years. A big Milestone

    Why haven’t you had a birthday party for so long?

    If you have the opportunity to talk to yourself when you were 20, what do you think you’d say? Also happy birthday

    Happy birthday! That’s fun to hear and you’re lucky to still have friends at 40, I think last time I had a friend was MAYBE in my low-30s over a decade ago haha. So how did the drinking go? Do you find at your age it’s a little harder to put them down?

    Happy birthday. You have great friends Why didn’t you organize a bday party for yourself/friends in your 20s and 30s?

    In my country we usually organize this ourselves and invite others. Sometimes someone throws a surprise party but that isn’t so common, hence the question.

    You’re a rich man! I turn 40 this year. My Mom asked if my wife was going to be throwing me a party, I said I doubt it. Happy Birthday Bud!

    I’m glad that you’re feeling pretty good. I’m turning 40 in two years and perhaps I’ll have the first party I’ve had since I was 9.

    Just have to get out there and meet people, I suppose.

    What kinda cake did you have?

    I don’t care how old you are, if you have a good enough friend that will throw you a birthday party, consider yourself blessed. Happy birthday!
