Happy B-day, you're now 5 years older than double my age!!!
Now that is a scary thought![:(]
Birthday. Now move over, I hit the big "65" in January----2007 that is.

He had a physical checkup.
The doctor said, "You are in better shape than any 65 year
old patient I ever had. You should live a long time.
How old was your father when he died?."
Grandfather said,"Who said he was dead? My father is 88
and works every day."
His doctor said, "Well how old was your grandfather when he died?"
Grandfather: "Who said he was dead? My grandfather is 110
years old and he just got married again last week."
His doctor said, "Tell me why any man would want to get married
at that age."
Grandfather said, "Who said he wanted to?"
[:D]
Some choose to be alone and not marry.
I like being married ... and of course the grandkids.
Glad I made that decision lo those many decades ago.
... can't imagine being alone. I wouldn't tolerate it well
or for long!

Sig, youth truly is wasted on the young, isn't it?
Acouple more weeks and stuff from the AARP will start flooding your mailbox.
LOL ... started getting that crap from my 40th birthday ... a couple of guys 'turned me in' a
little prematurely as an 'over the hill' joke!
It took me 10 years to convince them I wasn't 55 ... and then they were/are so convinced ... I have never gotten another scrap of AARP literature in our mailbox! My neighbors get tons if it almost daily. [:D]
I suggest preemptive disclaimers on/after your 40th B'day! ... worked for ME![}:)]
Which reminds me, have you all seen this piece?
George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!
That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.
Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.
And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

That is the understatement of the year![:D]
