April 14th will be my 40th birthday. How do you think I should celebrate it?

I already have something in mind, but I'm curious to see what others might suggest.

BillyTheAdult · 02-20-2011, 11:14 PM

forum member orgy. I think was suggested for your 5000th post as well but to my knowledge it never happened. What!? What do you mean I just wasn't invited.

Seriously though, because I don't what we or I could realistically do for you, maybe you could have a contest and give a currently active member a free phone consult or something like that, let a member pick a topic for a blog article or even just start a really fun epic thread or ...anything, have a silly picture contest. idk...rep bars for everyone! yay!

See if you can get them to light the Empire State Building a certain color for you.

1. Travel - treat yourself to a dream vacation.

2. Be with friends and family - organize a weekend with those closest to you. One of my fav 40th is a friend of mine surprised her husband and flew a handful of his closest friends to Bahamas where she had chartered a private yacht for a few days. He thought it was only going to be the two of them and was surprised to see his closest friends already on board when they arrived at the marina.

3. Nothing - let your close friends organize something for you and see what they come up with. I'm sure you would love it but do something for yourself after your birthday.

4. Take a week off, turn off your PC and focus on you and face to face time. Relaxing dinner at your fav restaurant, massage, weekend trip, etc.

Have fun whatever it is you decide to do.

Swim in a pool of:

You know you want to. Let that inner child out already!

I second the trip thing. I'd take a friend on a trip somewhere incredible that I've always wanted to go - Tibet or Bora Bora or Madagascar or somewhere similarly awesome and just live it up.

LostMyMap · 02-21-2011, 05:38 AM

Considering your proximity to Las Vegas, I could think of all sorts of trouble you could get into!

Well, I know a few people that have jumped out of airplanes on birthdays that ended in zero.

As far as I know, they all included parachutes.

Party with friends and then head off on a year long round the world trip. After the year is up consider if you want to simply continue traveling.

cacheborn · 02-21-2011, 06:01 AM

Do something that you have never attempted to do so far.

Andrew Gubb · 02-22-2011, 08:35 AM

how about a sex party?

BillyTheAdult · 02-22-2011, 02:06 PM

I already said that. *whiney teenager voice*

Angela · 02-22-2011, 02:33 PM

Do something absurdly, unreasonably generous for others.

BillyTheAdult · 02-22-2011, 02:48 PM

Hello? Sex party.

PraetorianX · 02-22-2011, 03:40 PM

Happy early Birthday Steve. My 40th is coming up July 13th. One of my good friends 40th is the day before mine, and another friend has his 40th the Saturday before that. S0, three of us are celebrating 40th b-days within a week.

We have talked about throwing a big bash (we usually have a summer party anyway), but also along with Steve, what should we do for our 40th?

Hell yes. Offer up a Pavlina Master's Degree Scholarship, and I shall make application.

AlmostGodess · 02-22-2011, 05:37 PM

Offer 40 of your books with an autograph to some friends.

Ask 40 of your friends to bring 40 trees or bushes and throw a Planting Party.

Angela · 02-22-2011, 06:04 PM

Have a party in the fourth dimension. Get it? 4-D?
