"The Golden Days of Yore" (My Sixtieth Birthday Vanity!)
What's left of my brain | March 7, 2013 | Charlie Henrickson (me)

Posted on 03/07/2013 6:03:55 AM PST by Charles Henrickson

THE GOLDEN DAYS OF YORE

Oh, the golden days of yore!
Those olden days before
My joints got all creaky,
My eyebrows went freaky,
My hair got all streaky--
Behold, the grays galore!

If truth is to be told,
My youth has turned to mold;
My doctor can't fix me,
The future afflicts me,
Today I turn SIXTY--
Now that sounds really old!

What was your political persuasion in 1970?

Is your salvation assured? I hope it is, that would make us brothers.

Happy Birthday.

I will be having a landmark birthday this year. I am taking everyone I love out to dinner! A true celebration of the people who have sustained me through the years.

Many happy returns! Welcome to the club.
I turned sixty last July 7 and it’s been downhill ever since.
Kind of like skiing...

All the best!
cheers,
Jim

Twice-pinged and, apparently, I am not among "thy peeps".

Meant to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY along with that comment young fellow, but hit the post button too soon. Happens when you get old.

Happy Birthday!

Lot of benefits to being mature. You get all those senior discounts. Young people will defer to your judgment (unlike their parents). There’s a certain freedom that comes with hitting your 60s and with decent health, you’re till pretty young in spirit. Enjoy.

“Ask me anything”.

What is the largest tree in America? The Mendocino tree (Sequoia) or the General Sherman (Giant Sequoia)? ... you said to ask you anything.

***Happy Birthday. Sixty is the new 40. Thus, you are younger than me, kid.

Sorry for #9. FR is sluggish this morning. Hit F5 about 3 times since my post and your “pings” showed up.

Happy Birthday! May the Lord, our God, keep and preserve you in the One, True Faith + Lord, I believe! Help thou my unbelief.

Happy Birthday Charles Henrickson!

Being three times twenty, 60 is called "three score".
