My Wife and I are Turning 40 Tomorrow...
Posted on 12/15/2007 6:16:49 AM PST by big truck
We met in college. I was from Pennsylvania, she was from Oregon. We both worked in the cafeteria.
Somehow the topic of birthdays came up - she was born in December, so was I. She was born on the 16th, so was I. She was born in 1967, so was I. She was born at 10:40 am (pacific time), I was born at 1:58 pm (eastern time). Given the time change, she is 18 minutes older than I am. Any freeper advice as we crest the big hill tomorrow?

10 years from now you will think about how young 40 felt. I’ve been there. 50 ain’t so bad either. Enjoy your youth!

Be thankful you’re not turning 50. That’s when you start getting AARP crap.

"Any freeper advice as we crest the big hill tomorrow?" Keep your health insurance paid up. Aches, pains and other injuries don't seem to heal as well or even go away after 40. Happy Birthday.

Tell her that you’re buying dinner for her and her three closest friends. Get her out of the house. Buy a case of lager and a bottle of whiskey, and try to forget that fateful day in college.

I am 19 months away from the big four-oh myself. Hopefully I'll have that time machine built before I turn 40 so I can go back in time and warn about the dangers of global cooling warming

Be thankful you’re not turning 50. That’s when you start getting AARP crap. You got that right. I'm about to turn 56, and been getting that junk mail for years.
My 40's were pretty good, except for judgment. I made more mistakes in that decade than in all the ones before put together, but I'm recovering, somewhat. ;-)

Yes. Do anything but be near a television and you’ll be just fine.
On the morning of my 40th, I got up and entered the living room where my family was gathered watching TV. As I entered, an obnoxiously loud commercial came on:
ATTENTION! IF YOU ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 AND 75, YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR FUNERAL, BURIAL AND FREE CASKET...
or something to that effect.
So avoid being anywhere near a TV first thing. :)

Get medical checkups on everything. Take stock of where you’re at medically as things no longer cure themselves at our age. Also, if your wife’s up to it think about having another child!

Halloween 1996 for me. Damn, that was last century! And BFR (Before FreeRepublic)! I was just starting my last year of law school.
