Wish me a happy birthday....tragically, I am FIFTY today!

[PassingFair]

If my mother had put my father OFF by one month, I
could have said that I was born in the SIXTIES....

Thanks, Mom!

Here is an unusual video for your trouble:

7. We're going to Rochester for an Indian dinner tonight....

I find myself thinking about people
who died young. My grandfather died
when he was 51, and I can remember my
dad doing a little jig the day he turned
52, effectively out-living his father.

I'm trying to look at 50 as a "half-way"
point.....

[Call Me Wesley]

6. Happy Birthday!

:toast: I hope you're having a wonderful day and countless more to come! :hi:

[PassingFair]

9. I'm shirking work responsibilities...."working from home" today...

:hide:

[redwitch]

8. Happy, happy birthday!

50 was a good year for me, hope it will be for you too.

[PassingFair]

14. I used to say, in 2000, that it couldn't get any WORSE than the past 8 years....

but the fall-out from the Puglicans has been horrendous.

Worse than I thought it would be...

Oh well, at least I'm young and healthy...er...healthy!

:toast:

[redwitch]

17. 50 is the new 40.

You're just a baby really.

[bluethruandthru]

50. That's absolutely right!...

[WannaBeGrumpy]

10. Happy Birthday, Old Lady!!!

BTW, I'm going to be in the area for the next few days. :)

[PassingFair]

12. Are you here now?

Or are you driving up?

Age is only a number...a very BIG number...

[WannaBeGrumpy]

15. I'm driving up.

I should be there around 2:30. Tell your firstborn to shoot me a text. I'm going to try to get down to Texas before i start my new job on the 17th.


....very, very, very, big number. :)

[PassingFair]

16. I will awaken the slacker.... n/t

18. No tragedy, I'm in front of you and I've been pushing the goalposts back for you

Fifty falls just short of middle age these days, don't you know?. Enjoy! ;)

Oh, Happy Birthday! :thumbsup:

[PassingFair]

20. I THOUGHT I recognized you!

Thanks!

19. Happy Birthday to US (I'm 42 today)!

Me celebrating my birthday the way I always do:


mikey_the_rat

[PassingFair]

21. It is usually VOTING DAY on our birthdays!

Today is no exception, so I will celebrate
by voting for the known democrats on our
city council.

Happy B-day, Mikey! Rock OUT!

:party:

[mikeytherat]

22. I voted a straight Dem ticket this morning at 6:30.

I was rocking out last night (past midnight, so it counts on my b-day)!

23. Congratulations, and welcome to the club.

I turned 50 in June. It's not as bad as I feared it would be. ;-)

[PassingFair]

24. Oh YEAH? What about that AARP card?

They keep sending me stuff.

:(

[BurtWorm]

27. Put them on ignore.

I forget I'm 50 until I see the AARP junk mail. Bastidges!

I know a few people who are still cool into their 60s.

[joeybee12]

25. Happy, Happy Birthday!

And here's to 50 more!!! :toast: :party:

[PassingFair]

26. Thanks, I'm warming up to the idea....

:toast:

[latebloomer]

28. Happy Birthday!!

Being 50 ain't so bad, considering the alternative.

:party: :party: :party:

[Moondog]

29. Happy Birthday!

Keep in mind that having another birthday, as much as you might not want one, certainly beats the alternative.

Many happy returns!

:party:

[question everything]

30. Ah, but being "half a Century" is so much classier

Happy Birthday

:toast:

[PassingFair]

31. Yeah, that sounds SO much better...

:cry:

[Capn Sunshine]

32. HBD & welcome

The fifties club. Yeesh. What's interesting is you start out at 50 feeling about like you did in your fourties. Near the end of that decade, you start to notice, "christ, I think I may have to quit exercising"

[Iggo]

33. Turning 50 is a success story.

Happy Birthday.

[PassingFair]

34. Thanks, Iggo!

When I quit smoking 8 years ago, I promised myself
that I could start it up again when I was 65....

so there's THAT to look forward to!

[Shell Beau]

35. Happy Birthday! Have a good one!

[undeterred]

36. Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

[pink-o]

40. Oh, my young friend! I'm a month away from turning 55.

So happy b'day!! Welcome to my decayed--oops, I mean DECADE.
:evilgrin:

[trof]

41. Ain't nuthin' 'tragic' 'bout 50.

Approaching 70?
Now THAT gives one pause.
Not too many miles left before the old odometer trips over to 00000000000.
I wouldn't mind being 50 again at all.
Happy birthday though.
:-)

[Raffi Ella]

42. Make a Wish

:P :+ Happy Birthday~

[proteus_lives]

43. Happy Birthday!

:hi:

My dad was fine with turning fifty, said it made him feel like a silverback gorilla. But when he turned 60? For him that was old man birthday.

And my mom? Well, she's been 49 for the last seven years. And the rest of us know better then to ask about it. ;-)

[ThatsMyBarack]

44. Here's to the first 50 years!
