As of 6:20 AM Central Time, I am now 40 years old. Should I ping SunkenCiv?
40 was no big deal.
50 is a big effin deal.
It’s all over after that.
I have a tattoo older than you.
“As of 6:20 AM Central Time, I am now 40 years old”
The alternative ain’t so hot. BTW 40 to 50 really goes fast.
You're older than Jack Benny now.
I have T-shirts from running events older than you. My eldest son is older, too! I still play rec b’ball 2-3 times a week. I refuse to grow up!
Old is a state of mind. But those 40-50 year old kids ARE killin’ me on the court!
I have solved the issue about when you become old. Those who are 10 years older than you are, are old. You are not old.
And the ice man delivering ice for it, in our case from a horse-drawn wagon.
Hate to tell you but according to the actuarial tables you were considered 40 at one minute after midnight on January 1, 2016.
Really.
The big 6-0 hit me hard, and I have reached the point where time seems to be speeded up, rather than slowing down. I'd really much prefer to be able to think like my grandmother, who didn't let age faze her: when in her 90's she was kvetching about all those "old people" in her care facility (the ones that were many years younger than she was).

BRAGGART!!! You’re still nothing but a mere, callow sprout, who’s still secretly looking for zit
cures. I’m 73.
But some say that 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40, so today I'm saying I'm 39 just like I have for the last 17 years. LOL!
Don’t be silly - you are reaching your creative peak. Take Mozart, for example. At your age he had been composing for 30 years. And decomposing for five. Happy Birthday!
Time to start taking that baby aspirin every day and comfortable shoes. :-)
Old?
At 40????
Hey, you’re just a kid. Enjoy it while you still can.
When I was 40, I was in the best shape of my life. I lifted more weights at longer reps than I ever had before, and still weighed what I did when I was 21. I turned 50 and parts started to fall off. When I was in college, “pulling an all nighter” meant staying up until sunrise to write a paper. Now “pulling an all nighter” means not having to get up to pee.
Son?
You know you are old when you say remember this and no one does!
Moon landing?
All the tv shows or movies and songs you watched or listened to?
Look on the bright side. You still have another 10 years before you start getting AARP mailers. They arrive like clockwork the moment you turn 50.
Happy Birthday to you too!
Just wait till you see what awaits you when you turn 50!!
