Birthday Greetings

It's always nice to receive birthday greetings on the one day of the year you can call your own. It used to be a few cards in the mail. Anyone on Facebook knows that getting remembered and sending greetings are easier than ever since reminders are broadcast on your page as well as all of your friends. So, for those not on Facebook, an occasional email is usually the alternate mode of communication. But the ones I like the least are the ones that come from services you use during the year, or services you don't use during the year. That includes places like the dentist, the hairdresser, the doctor, the investment and insurance people. In the end it's nice someone thought about your special day. But in some instances they are coming from places you don't really want to be reminded about!
