Gosh you're old. I'm a spry 42 today.

Happy birthday from a fan of yours. You should have posted a 50th birthday picture with this. I liked the picture of you and your beautiful wife at a Freeper gathering in D.C. (Bush party?) Thank you so much for your hero son.
(my son is 16 years in AF).
Yes..love the Lord and follow him for Life.

..but....but.....it's true. Really. More or less.

He's not telling us about something. Maybe he needs bifocals and is in denial. Maybe he's taking Metamucil every night.

I'm not quite willing to accept that he's frozen time at age 25. That would just be so wrong.

At 68 I don't even remember what 50 was like except that I was working 12/6 and now only work 8/6 or 7 to keep paying the bills.

I know, I know.

I was lifting weights and boxing 5 days per week but I decided to work nights TOO and so I had to lay off.

Stay at it. But you gotta stretch, no? I keep pulling things.

Yeah, well, let those smart aleck whippersnappers you mentioned try to do that. Hats off to ya..........

[flutters]

Thank you, It's nice to share the day with a fellow FReeper. I don't know anyone personally that shares my day.

Good advice in your original post.

[RightOnline]

..and yet another HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I see I'm in fine company (no pun intended).

[Howlin]

Unfortunately, he's telling the truth. I've met he and his lovely family on more than one occasion.

Right off the Hallmark card.

And he's always so tan I feel like I've been leeched when I stand next to him.

[RightOnline]

Yeah, that Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast; dude.....I'm holding out.....

.......and if &*%#ing AARP SENDS ME ONE MORE INVITATION TO 'JOIN' THEM, I'M GOING TO TAPE THE RETURN CARD TO A BRICK AND MAIL IT.

[tubebender]

Congratulations. I agree with all your post other than I never made the cut for military duty.

Did I tell you I have a son 3 years younger than you...

[sarasmom]

Happy Birthday!
(you are older than I, so must I now deem you an elder?)

[Howlin]

It's RightOnline's birthday.

NC ping!

Okay, I just did some rough calculations, and when his youngest child gets into medical school, ROL will be 68 years old and will be paying tuition in today's dollars of about $70,000 per year.

I'm thinking the Dick Clark genes will come in handy.

May your day be filled with good friends good food and good cheer. Welcome to the club, my man. It actually gets better from here. Take it from an old Paratrooper!

[Howlin]

LOL!
