possibly important clarification

Just realized that all my gritching over the years about Valentines day and my birthday being then may have given the impression that I don't like my birthday (or Valentines day.

I'm ok with my birthday. It's "joke" that were old. And the way Valentines day is made such a big thing of so that not being involved with someone is rubbed in your face.

Issues with my birthday *as* a birthday are similar.
