Happy Tuesday, Modern Philosophers!
If I’m reading my birth certificate correctly, today is my birthday. How cool is that?
Okay, bad choice of words. It’s -5 degrees outside this morning, so a word like “cool” should not be tossed around lightly.
How awesome is it then that today is my birthday?
I know that I am no longer a child, so a birthday isn’t that big of a deal anymore. You won’t all be coming to The House on the Hill later for cake, pin the tail on the donkey, and a presentation of gifts to the Birthday Boy.
I’m not discouraging that by any means, I’m just being realistic.
I had a Deep Thought, though, on how you could give this Modern Philosopher a present if you so desired. You know how much I love to spread the Blog Love, and how important it is for bloggers to support each other.
So how about giving me a birthday present via social media? Something of a Birthday Blog Share if you wanted to slap a hashtag on it.
For my birthday, do you think you could share a post of mine that you really enjoyed? Please don’t make it this post, as this is me asking for a present, and not a very good example of my writing talent.
Just find one of my posts that really spoke to you and share it on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, or your blog. That’s simple, right? You don’t even have to wrap it or figure out how to get it to The House on the Hill.
Maybe you could tell me in the comments section which of my posts you shared?
I think it would be a lot of fun to unwrap those birthday presents in the comments section all day, learn which of my posts really spoke to you, and let the Blog Love keep me warm and toasty on what promises to be another very cold day in Maine.
Happy Tuesday, Modern Philosophers! Thanks for being so wonderful!
Happy Birthday and may today be one long great day for you!
🎉🎂🎁
Thank you. I’ll just take a little warmth. 🙂
Well if it helps at all, I’ll think some warm thoughts and send them over to you. 😉
Excellent!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Ok, I will share your TV debut. Or, Timbo’s debut. The line about taking out others was perfect, I just wish y’all had kept the line about Stephen King.
Happy birthday!
Thanks. 🙂
Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a fantastic day! I will have to pick a post to share after work as I only have about 2 minutes until I have to leave. It will be hard to pick just one!
Feel free to share more! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Austin! Stay warm by snuggling with the kittehs! 😀
I was just outside to start the car. Still nippy out there! 🙂
Happy Birthday! Have a lovely day!
Thanks, Suzie!

It’s my good bloggy friend Austin’s birthday today, and as he lives 5000 miles away I can’t buy him a drink, so here’s a reblog instead! Read, enjoy, follow and share the blog love for him!
Felicitous Natal Anniversary! Wishing you a warm, prosperous and #AWEsome year ahead. And remember that having birthdays is ALWAYS better than not having them 🙂 I will certainly honor your birthday wish and reblog something!
Thank you, Shawn!
Many happier returns of the day!
Thank you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my favourite blogging buddies 🙂 I hope you have a great day!
Thank you to my very dear blogging pal!
Wishing you a birthday as awesome as you Austin. All the best today and everyday. 🙂
How I am I going to pick just one post? 😉
Apparently, you did not. Thanks for all the support and so many birthday presents. I’m feeling the blog love!
Happy Birthday! Just shared “The Devil Wants a Holiday”… excellent post.
Thank you on both counts.
The Devil is pleased as well. 🙂
What an exceptional idea! I’ll pick one of your think tanks or jump start. 🙂
I’m glad you like it. It just came to me…
I tweeted one from every month. 🙂 Happy Birthday Austin. 🙂
Now I’m off to practice typing and proofreading. 😉
Goodness! That’s amazing. I see you’ve been liking tons of posts in here, and I haven’t even gotten on to Twitter yet… 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Austin! 🙂
I did. Thank you!
I chose to tweet this link as your birthday present, Austin. Have a great but freezing day, my friend.

For a birthday present, pick a link from Austin’s blog and send it out via social media. No, not this birthday story … another post of your liking.
Happy Birthday ^_^
Your birthday wish shall be granted as well! I will take a browse and see which I think encompasses your character the best.
Have a great day!
Thank you. Hope you have a wonderful day as well!
You’re welcome ^_^
Hi Suzi! I have just started following your blog the past week or so and I’m really enjoying it! I also enjoy following you on Twitter. I will share one of your blog posts – but I’d like to wait a bit and have read a few more before I do. So, consider the future posting a delayed birthday gift! (grin)
Happy birthday!
🙂
Well, Austin – seems I misread and that it is YOUR birthday and not Suzi’s. Lack of caffeine this morning, what can I say? (grin)
But since I follow you as well, I’m happy to blog one of your posts in the future – so that’s my delayed birthday gift to YOU! 🙂
Happy birthday!
Thanks, Kate. 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mark!
Who is this Mark fellow???
Happy Birthday! May the next year of life go awesomely well.
Thank you. I hope it does! 🙂
I went to Suzi’s blog to reblog one of her posts on my Blog today, as Tuesday is my Random Thoughts/Reblog day, I saw her reblog of your post and I’ll be delving in to your blog to find just the right post. I’ll reschedule reblogging Suzi’s post to Thursday. 🙂 Sorry Austin, That’s a very windy way of saying, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Especially for a first comment from a newbie blogger.
I love it. This blog is all about laughing and expressing your Deep Thoughts. Ramble on as long as you’d like! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Austin!
Thank you!
Very clever!
From one fishy-tail or tales goat to another… Happy B’day!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday – Enjoy Your Special Day 🙂
I will. Thank you!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday. May it be filled with love and laughter.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday – reblogged My top 5 letters of the Alphabet. Great post.
Thank you. So glad you liked that one. I appreciate the birthday gift of the share. 🙂
Happy Birthday, buddy!
Hope you get those super powers you’ve been holding out for…
I feel…different… 🙂
Happy birthday! Honestly, my favoruite post was about the NSA trying to recruit Santa. I’d share it, but it’s holiday material…and it’s outta season.
Thanks, Jerry. That was a fun post. Glad you liked it! 🙂
I’m just glad the NSA didn’t get him…and that they’re on the naughty list.
We can only hope they didn’t get him… 🙂
Yes…we can.
🙂

Happiest belated birthday, my dear friend!!! I hope it was wonderful (and warm!!) 🙂
It wasn’t warm, but it was a great day!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration. I told Mark that I was up for dancing, celebrating and pinning the tail on the donkey… Hope you wore your toga…. ha ha! Many more to come, too, Austin!
Thank you!
