Happy Birthday!

I know the feeling. I'll be 45 in nine days.
Someone once said that aging isn't so much feeling like you're getting older. Its more about changing interests, getting different views on life, and gradually getting to where you can't do certain things anymore. Hopefully the latter won't hit us till we're pushing 70.

Thank you, Nodd!
Abd I hope so as well. So far, I actually think I've been able to do more than I could when I was younger (to an extent).

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎁🎂

Welcome to the half century club! 😀

Thank you, Radio. What are the perks of the club? Do we have jackets? :D

You're welcome Murphy.

I think badges of honer would be better.

Then we could wear them on any thing. :)

half a century. i wish everyone could count on a second half century and maybe a third.

i think my 50 came and went without my giving it the notice i probably should have.
i was probably distracted at the time.

we live, time goes by, enjoy all the odd and wonderful interesting places.

Yep. Age after all is just a number. It doesn't really mean anything. You can be 50 but not look or feel it, or feel and act as if you were older.

Happy Birthday

Thank you, Creepsome! *hugs*

50 Years young, and still willing to talk to some of us, nearly daily if not daily. What a wonderful person you are, and I know you'll continue to be. Here's to another great many years of your kindness and love!

Thanks, brother. I guess it helps to 1. Not look as sold as I am, 2. Keeping a young heart (see #1), and just being who I am without really getting worried about "being cool" or "popular", but just being myself.

I know I can't completely up with the youngsters, but I at least try (to an extent), but I don't want to try and act like I really AM as young as they are. *rolls eyes* I'm just one of those "indefinable" ones that you can't really categorize. I fit everywhere because I don't really fit ANYWHERE (if that makes any sense).

Happy BDAY Buddy!!!!! I'll be 36 in September.

Thank you, my good friend! 36 is a good year...at least as far as I can remember then (I was just one year from retiring from the Navy at that age).

You're welcome. Yeah. I haven't had that experience.
