birthdays are great, but having birthweeks where you do different activities every day and tell yr friends "come to whichever you want or come to all" = dud.
not saying that having a b'day celebration w/ family one day, friends another = a big deal, but like the co-worker harbl once talked about who basically spent an entire month celebrating their 30th birthday and had like 15 celebrations of it

actually, you know what, i would care about your birthday if you are dead and there are balloons.
i walked past a cemetery on the way to the beach one day last summer, and someone had left a lot of mylar balloons on a grave, i almost cried!

I'll go further
you don't have a birthday after you die, that's not what birthdays are, person x who died would not have been 100 today that's not how it works, they died

Agree with this 1000%. I will occasionally use the phrase "anniversary of [PERSON]'s birth" if I want to call out some artist whose work I admire, but that's it.

We definitely need to be stricter about allowing that. I say you have to specify "heavenly birthday" AND you have to have known the deceased intimately. Nancy Sinatra recently sent one of those out to Peter Fonda and it was too cute to object to.

Presumably where you go if you've wished person x a happy birthday at any time since 1980 where person x = John Lennon

Human ashes and what's done with them (per the Hull funeral home scandal currently unfolding). I own no ashes of deceased family members and never will, it's mostly wood anyway.

Late to the Jack Black talk, but I think he was once pretty funny and could have developed into a more unique actor/comedian, but he was rewarded so handsomely to play the "JACK BLACK" guy in everything that he got annoying and old quick.
