Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Actually, as the OP said she "got her period" i.e.; started it, the odds would be much lower. If she was regular as clockwork at 28 days per cycle, that would be 13 times a year, which means there would be a 3.6% chance the first day of a period would coincide with her birthday, meaning it happened roughly once every 28 years. Bloody statistics...

If you're into maths/science, a calculator is an extremely useful present. As for the period part, well, you either will get used to it, or you should be by now. Though if you're unlucky enough to get seriously ill each month, then I can understand why you're complaining about that.

On a calculator, it's called a "decimal point" and all calculators have them standard. The person who bought you the calculator didn't have to spend anything extra for it.

Nice one, perdix. I bet a lot of people don't get this.

Who cares about presents? Better health and a good life than just some objects, geez, some people are so ungrateful.

Being happy for "health and good life" is poor people.

You'll get one of those every month, princess. Might as well get used to the idea.

I didn't get any gifts on my birthday, OP. It happens. As for the period...Well, it was bound to coincide with your birthday sometime! Still, there is some suck-age detected in this situation. I'm sorry!

quit bitching, there's starving ethiopian kids that aren't getting shit for their birthday. a graphing calculator is better than starving and getting AIDS so maybe your life isn't all that bad.

24 I agree with you, at least she got something.

Well why don't you explain it to us, FML Staff.

The staff has explained it quite thoroughly already, in several different places on the website. -.- Lrn2interwebz.

Don't be silly pendatik, it's because they don't have internet in Africa! Besides, they don't live long enough to post anything... everyone gets AIDS/West Nile/Ebola/eaten by a lion.

NO quite true, Mary. Click on my profile, and you'll see that I am located in Tokyo, Ghana. That's in the Mongolian portion of central Africa.

I'm curious as to how you type with hooves. Do explain.

opposable hooves.

Opposable hooves would be awesome - those Andalusian dancing stallions could use them like castanets.
