D**m you're old.
Heck, I won't be 50 fer another 4 weeks. Er, 5 weeks.
(Good thing you've proved geezers don't croak when they hit the bald spot in the road. (Er, on their tires.))
Now, xsex, ya see, isn't even close to that age: Heck, she graduated high school before I did, and she's only 29. And she maintains ya gotta have grandkids before you're realllllllly old.)
and BTW, my wife has just pointed out that 42 is not too old to have (another) baby. Jerk. ;)

And be excellent to each other.
Birthdays are not for the weak - I personally am very weak and stopped having birthdays a few years ago.
Robert, you may be turning 50 soon but you act like a freaking preteen! ;^)
Right On! 21 days before I turned 50 I was freakin' out! I finally realized that it's just a stupid number and I am still "me" no matter what number is in front of my name. I also look alot younger than my birth certificate says and refuse to give in to the societal pressure that says, "Act your age." Well, heck, I do - because I believe your real age is this: "How old would you be, if you didn't know when you were born?"
I remember sitting on the sidewalk curb at grade school, looking jealously at the sixth graders and how cool they were, thinking, "I'll be in sixth grade!"
Hope you had a GREAT birthday...and thanks for sharing your words of wisdom.
I hear that (see #118) quite a bit. It's always meant nicely......but sometimes makes me a tad uncomfortable. No idea why; maybe I think I NEED to grow some gray hair........LOL.
Hit 50 what? :^)
50 bars? ;^)
50 parked cars? 8^)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Remember, senility is its own reward. At least try to remember, or -- what was I saying?
Looks like you’ve learned a few things over the years.
50 wasn’t a bit traumatic for me – but 30 did me a number. All my friends were still in their 20’s. I’ll be hitting 60 in less than six months – it’s already getting to me. During my last doctor’s appointment it was mentioned that I was in the “older” group of patients.
Enjoy it all now, in another ten years or so it will all start turning to crap.
It's 55 that get's yah them senior discount goodies, and free coffee with breakfast in the morning
You didn't believe me.........LOL.
Nice to see you've spent the years learning some of the good stuff. The best to you today, and for many days and years to come.
[insert cool Steve Vai riff here]
Happy Birthday to a young guy who contributes so much to this forum! Life now begins at 50, not 40!
LOL.......well, she's right. Hate to tell ya.
:)
Oh.....and when you have one at this age??? Shoot, you've "been there, done that", so you really do enjoy them sooooooo much. Wouldn't trade the experience for the world. All of my kids have brought joy to me, and this little guy who 'snuck in' has been SUCH a hoot. Kids do keep you young.
...and you are such a sweetheart. Thank you.
