Birthday Etiquette With Your Favorite Provider(s)? 🎂

[+ SirBillybob]

I offer my calculator for the birth year component because unique leap year patterns arise from rotational speeds rarely dividing evenly into orbital periods.

I reckon you should first ask yourself as to why you are overthinking such simple normal human interaction. No provider will ever refuse a no-strings-attached gift or a geniune happy birthday wish. 

There is no reasons to be anxious unless you are hoping your gesture will be interpreted in a certain way by the receipient.

Did you raise the same question whenever you wish or gift bday present to your mate? Worrying how they would perceive your gesture? I reckon not

I send a card (often with a purient message) and a text on the day-of. 

One year I offered to take one of my boys to lunch on his birthday. He came back with a quick "Oh no, just bring a bottle of wine the next time you come to see me." (translation: "Being seen with you at lunch is the last thing I want to do. Anyway I'm not spending my free time with a customer." Fair enough. So next time, I brought a fine bottle of wine, and we each had a glass or two before the massage. Afterwards he said he'd never do that again...it was a challenge to do his usual excellent massage when he was tipsy. 

I do have a former masseur (changed professions) whom I take out for a nice lunch every few months, for the pleasure of his company.

For my very favorite provider, we pick out a  provider together and have a three-way to celebrate his birthday and another again to celebrate mine.
