nervous

[Connemmara]

My final birthday is here at last on Friday and am having a great party but am a bit nervous - they are my immediate friends but two friends have had pow wow some years ago and I get nervous about that. Anybody have that problem

[NazNomad]

Final birthday?

Final birthday?

Pow wow?

What?

[Connemmara]

biggish birthday (dont want to say my age) and pow wow would be come between a very bad argument/fight.

I don't have that problem but my friends know that my answer to that sort of thing would be don't involve me, sort it out yourselves and don't ruin my evening or they'll both be out on their ear. I don't get involved in things that unless there it is something to do with me why they've fallen out or some hideous crime involved.

[ummmm]

I think she means her birthday is finally here...

pow wow = fall out.

[mccfluff]

i have two friends that always jibe at each other, if we are all go out together for my birthday then i ask them both beforehand to remember its my birthday and to behave themselves

but a final birthday?

[NazNomad]

I'd take a glass of Sanatogen and sleep through it.

[ChuckFickens]

No matter what age I get to I don't think I'd feel comfortable referring to it as "my final birthday"

[Connemmara]

I am always passing out lol hahahhaha

[oranger]

dont be nervous be careful

[B00]

Oh right, thought you were going to say something horrible like you had a terminal illness or something!

As for the "pow wow" bit, take them both to the side, and tell 'em its your big day and to grow up, or you'll bang their heads together.

Oh, and have a great birthday.

MY FINAL BIRTHDAY PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY - NO MORE

[trt]

Do you mean you are going to be 65 or a 100?

[Connemmara]

Thanks BOO - card from my sister who said in the card Sis you have been a pain but I will still have you for a sister all again. Now I know you will have own views but I am quite hurt by it because I dont remember being a pain just kindness all the way through from the death of her son right through making dinners every sunday and rides from home and back. So there ya go I know some of you may say I have no sense of humour - maybe not.

[ummmm]

She might have been joking.

Sorry to chime in like this, can I ask what part of the uk you and ummm are from as I've always know the word "pow wow" to be an office buzzword for chat or discussion and this new meaning intrigues me.

[Connemmara]

we have been having bits and bobs of arguing of a Sunday - and it goes right through me. I seem to take it all cos I know she is still grieving and I think she takes it out on me

[ummmm]

pow wow to me is something I might see in comics. I just understood what she meant because of the context it was said in.

[MickyMacgraw]

I must admit that when I first read that ummm my mind was whisked away to the original Batman series where Ppow, Zzap. Kkrack and other funny words with violent undertones were used.

I'd be lucky if I got such a tame card from my sisters, I usually get something quite evil... But then I do tend to send such things myself, it's a sign of affection in my family! Personally I wouldn't take it to heart as I would assume she was trying to make you smile but from some of your postings I think you're quite sensitive so you can either ask her what she meant or try not to dwell on it.
