1. 40 is the new 30

and 50 is the new 35.

Don't sweat it. I'm 42 and no wrinkles!

2. rocknation, what do you consider middle age??

It keeps getting pushed back!!

P.S. Happy Birthday!! :hi:

[rocktivity]

8. I want to keep wearing bikinis, listening to heavy metal,

driving cool cars, running my web site, and club hopping at the Jersey shore without being considered a pathetic old fart!

6. Just a kid!! I think we have quite a lot of different ages on DU...

I know there are some young teens and others who consider themselves old. NOT!!!

Such a cliche but you're as young as you feel!!!

10. 30?

Not sure. Really. If so, you'll live. Probably.

Things I did not try until after 30, and I mean well after 30:

Motorcycles. Skiing. Snowboarding. Inline skates. Roller hockey. Etc.

[stevedeshazer]

11. Here's your damn birthday wish from the old codger

Live as long as me!

[AuntiBush]

12. Well. If we can't find Bin Laden it should be too hard.

Happy Birthday!

13. Middle age is something to be proud of!

If you're hitting 40, then that's not really middle-aged. At 50, you might consider it that, but it depends on how long-lived your parents are/were...Plus you get some nifty discounts! AARP, movie discounts, restaurant discounts, all sorts of senior stuff...

You really are just as old as you feel...Birthdays are memorable, but every second you're getting older...and wiser, smarter, more experienced, and ...well, you get the idea.

CONGRATULATIONS AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

:toast:

[tyedyeto]

23. You get discounts when you're 50?

I live in/near a retirement community and it's 55 or nothing here. 52 but going on 40 here! B-)

[swag]

15. Well done.

Thanks for hanging in there.

[Adams Wulff]

16. I suppose this means I'll have to get off your lawn...

...and quit teasing your dog.



happy birthday!

[swag]

17. Oh, anyway, what is official middle age in your jurisdiction?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

19. This could be the best time of your life.

Make it so.
And Happy Birthday!

[frogbison]

21. You get my age, and they say

consider the alternative.

[petronius]

22. You're older than you've ever been

And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still

Time is marching on
And time is still marching on

This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's sooner still

You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still

(also, Happy Birthday!)
