Unused Birthday Quotes

Ty and Livvy were the last to come say good-bye to Jules; Livvy embraced him fiercely, and Ty gave him a soft, shy smile. Julian wondered where Kit was. He'd been glued to Ty's and Livvy's sides the whole time they'd been in London, but he appeared to have vanished for the family farewell. "I've got something for you," Ty said. He held out a box, which Julian took with some surprise. Ty was absolutely punctual about Christmas and birthday presents, but he rarely gave gifs spontaneously. Curious, Julian popped open the top of the box to find a set of colored pencils. He didn't know the brand, but they looked pristine and unused. "Where did you get these?" "Fleet Street," said Ty. "I went out early this morning." An ache of love pressed against the back of Julian's throat. It reminded him of when Ty was a baby, serious and quiet. He hadn't been able to go to sleep for a long time without someone holding him, and though Julian had been very small himself, he remembered holding Ty while he fell asleep, all round wrists and straight black hair and long lashes. He'd felt so much love for his brother even then it had been like an explosion in his heart. "Thanks. I've missed drawing," Julian said, and tucked the box into his duffel bag. He didn't fuss; Ty didn't like fuss, but Julian made his tone as warm as he could, and Ty beamed. Jules thought of Livvy, the night before, the way she'd kissed his forehead. Her thank-you. This was Ty's.

Yogurt is good for you. And it’s just one spoon,” Sharpcot had replied, but this stack summoned a billion voices, all of them saying in a chorus, “Just one spoon.” From kids’ lunches and store shelves and desk drawers and airline meal packs, in every country of the world: Canada and the United States and Nicaragua and Uruguay and Argentina and Ireland and Burkina Faso and Russia and Papua New Guinea and New Zealand and very probably the Antarctic. Where wasn’t there disposable cutlery? Plastic spoons in endless demand, in endless supply, from factory floors where they are manufactured and packaged in boxes of 10 or 20 or 100 or 1000 or individually in clear wrap, boxed on skids and trucked to trains freighting them to port cities and onto giant container ships plying the seas to international ports to intercity transport trucks to retail delivery docks for grocery stores and retail chains, supplying restaurants and homes, consumers moving them from shelf to cart to bag to car to house, where they are stuck in the lunches of the children of polluting parents, or used once each at a birthday party to serve ice cream to four-year-olds where only some are used but who knows which? So used and unused go together in the trash, or every day one crammed into a hipster’s backpack to eat instant pudding at his software job in an open-concept walkup in a gentrified neighbourhood, or handed out from food trucks by the harbour, or set in a paper cup at a Costco table for customers to sample just one bite of this exotic new flavour, and so they go into trash bins and dumpsters and garbage trucks and finally vast landfill sites or maybe just tossed from the window of a moving car or thrown over the rail of a cruise ship to sink in the ocean deep.

☎️ Can I use United miles for others 831-298-4213? Absolutely! I’ve actually done this myself a few times, so here’s my personal experience and a quick step-by-step on how you can use your United miles for someone else — whether it’s a family member, friend, or even a surprise trip gift. A few months ago, I had a pile of United MileagePlus miles sitting unused after a couple of business trips. My younger sister was planning a last-minute visit to Chicago but the ticket prices had skyrocketed. I decided to help her out using my miles — and trust me, it was much easier than I expected once I figured out the steps. Here’s how it went: Step 1: Log into your MileagePlus account. I started by signing in on United’s official site and searched for flights as if I were booking for myself. The trick is simple — you don’t have to transfer miles or link accounts. You can just book directly in their name during checkout. Step 2: Choose “Book with miles.” Once you find the flight, make sure you select the option to pay with miles. It’ll show the miles required plus any small taxes or fees (usually $5.60 for domestic flights). Step 3: Enter their details carefully. When entering passenger information, put their name, birthday, and other details exactly as they appear on their government ID. The booking confirmation still comes to your email, but the ticket is fully in their name. Step 4: Confirm and pay. After that, you just confirm, use your miles, and that’s it — no need to transfer or do any complicated process. The miles get deducted from your account, and your friend or family member can check in using their own details. A few days later, my sister had to change her return flight due to a work emergency. I called United customer support at (831) -298-4213, and they helped me modify the ticket in less than 10 minutes. Honestly, that number is a lifesaver — they can instantly help you with bookings, cancellations, or flight changes using miles. So yes, you absolutely can use your United miles for others — it’s flexible, hassle-free, and makes for a thoughtful way to share travel perks. Just make sure to double-check passenger info and flight details before finalizing, and if you ever get stuck, (831) -298-4213 is the quickest way to get help from a real agent who understands MileagePlus redemptions inside out.
