Last night,one of my friends sent a message to tell me that I will reiceve a big surprise on my birthday.At that moment,it just like a hot water pouring into my heart.I felt pleasant and exciting .But i cant remember most of my friends birthday,which really make me sorry to them.This a small detail to show your care to friends. What about you?Could you share the thing with us?I would like to take this time to thank everyone for taking your time out of your day to come by and review my discussion and hopefully answering,then give more advice to me .Thanks again for taking the time to stop by...

It's funny because I don't remember birthdays that well of my friends now, but actually I remember my best childhood friends birthdays. Very odd that I still remember their birthdays, but the people I hang with now, I have no idea when any of their birthdays are, I barely even know my boyfriends birthday, very sorry to say.

Most of my friends yes. But we have known each other for over 20 years. I also tend to put them on a calendar, so that as the day approaches I have a reminder. It is nice to be remembered.

I have a hard time remembering b'days too. I will write them out on a calander and that way, I make sure that I don't forget to call them. It's really great to connect with friends on their birthdays and to show you care by calling them. My memory is not the greatest so I take the time to write them down so that I can make the effort and call.

No, I’m lousy at remembering dates. And its not even that I have thousands of friends…no, just a handful of them, yet I cant remember their birthdays on time. Its particularly more embarrassing when they remember my birthday and call me up and wish me. There’s some software in computers that prompts you on important dates…maybe you can try that one.

I do... most especially birthdays of my close friends! I do check their birthdays on Friendster or Myspace... in that way I could manage to even at least greet them and show that I do remember their special day. A few minutes would make an entire day bright for a person who has been greeted on his/her birthday by his/her friend.

when i was studying and i use to meet my friends daily in class and we use to always remember eachothers birthday and it was a big fun for us as we go out celebrate and roam around and it was full of enjoyment and after we finish our studies too we use to remember each others birthday and wish eachother and all this continued only for a few months and later few of us got married and some got busy in their jobs and the life is busy and we really dont remember much and the same here with me and now i have a kid and my family responsibilities and i cant remember any of my friends birthdays and when i sometime go through my dairy i could find my friends birthday dates and sometimes if anyones birthday is about to arrive i remember and wish them and sometimes i cant do this and this is how everything goes on. but i really miss those days when we all were together and have fun and enjoy those lovely moments of life which will never come back.

I cannot exactly remember the dates but I can remember the month. I only have few friends whom I can exactly rememeber the dates. Last month, I sent a birthday message to one of my friends. I aoplogize for greeting too late. It was already a month after. I remember that it was somewhere in the 20s of September. At least I was not able to totally forget it. It is very difficult to remeber their birthdates because they are too many. I know they can understand me.

In my life, i have 2 good sister. They will always be there for me whenever i was down. I'm so glad to have them in this life, thanks! But due to our work, we seldom meet up but we will msn or sms sometime. Yesterday was one of my sister's birthday, we did not meet up for any celebration as she start to have a family already. I just sent an greeting to her and all the best to her future. But we always say birthday could celebrate at anytime the most important is that we must treasure this relationship forever & ever.

I'm really good at remembering dates, so I tend to remember all of my friends' birthdays. Even childhood friends that I've lost touch with and haven't seen or spoken to since I was 10 years old I can remember their birthdays! I also remember things like the birthdays of my friends' siblings and parents! My boyfriend once had to ask me when his mom's birthday was because he couldn't remember! When my friends forget my birthday it doesn't really bother me. Some people are just better at remembering that kind of stuff. It doesn't mean that they don't care. BTW, when is your birthday? Is it this month?

I have several friends,I have a couple of good friends who I do not spend much time with anymore because they owe me a lot of money,and only come around when they want or need something,but I remember that one has a birthday on July 1st,one has a birthday on March 18th,and one has a birthday on August 20th,me and my fiance have to friends that are becoming good friends even though I am not exactly sure when there birthdays are,and I have two best friends one of course is my fiance who I love with all of my heart and soul,and I can not wait until we get married and I can call her my wife,and she can call me her husband,and I remember her birthday is July 8th,and my other best friend is a guy I met in school,and he is like a brother to me and he would do anything for me,and I would do anything for him which is the way it should be,and we have both helped each other out of some situations,and I remember his birthday is February 3rd which is also my birthday so I could never forget his birthday since it is the same day as mine,except I am three years older than him so I am wiser lol.

Yes, I do remember their birthday and even their personal special day or even wedding day. That's why my friend called me the most thoughtful. Maybe because I'm too sensitive that I don't want them to be sad or make them feel they are nothing. And because I wanted to be appreciated. Thank You is enough for me.
