1. You're still a youngster to me!

Enjoy your youth

[Maine Mary]

2. Thanks

You're so kind :-)

[GOPisEvil]

3. You might be (almost) 40, but you're still beautiful!

:hug:

[Maine Mary]

4. That was so nice!!!

It's nice to know who are friends are! :hug: and :loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

5. Well, it's the truth.

Ahhhh...memories of the stairwell. ;)

[Maine Mary]

7. Oh you mean the

Beer soaked, tobacco filled, Fe-breeze permeated stairwell? That one?

What a riot. I had so much fun with you et. all. I'll never forget it. You, my friend have a wonderful sense of humor. You gotta come to Maine. You'll need an even better sense of humor for that. :-)

8. I would LOVE to visit Maine.

But, uh, er...not until winter ends. ;)

I had the best time on that trip to Philly. Have we found your daughter yet? :rofl:

[Maine Mary]

11. That Asian Manicure

was a wonderful thing. Apparently Bagels held no candle to it's lure. Nore did her mother's beseeching cry reach her deaf ears, And thus we carried on.

Twas a terrrible story but thanks to to the ever vigiliant Lynne we tarried on; finding the damsel with her freshly polished nails and made it to the airport on time.

[GOPisEvil]

12. That is funny...NOW...

Back then, it was the cause of much stress and consternation. :D

[Maine Mary]

14. I know

and I'm sorry.

[GOPisEvil]

16. All's well that ends well.

It made for a better story.

All these years later, and we still remember it.

:hug:

6. 40 isn't old

40 is about the time you finally get it all together. 40 is a great time in life. I'm not making this up. I'm loving 40. Mostly. It's sooooo much better than 18.

[Maine Mary]

9. Yes but

(and I know this is a cliche) what if we then (20's) what we know now? Think of how your life would have been...

[Elidor]

15. I would have behaved much the same as today :)

Nothing changes but perspective.

Speaking of which, only a couple of weeks till the Solstice!

[Zomby Woof]

10. When you're 80

You will LONG to be 40!

I oughta know, I turned 80 over 12 years ago. :D

Seriously, don't let Base 10 arithmetic get you down! 40 is just another number. :party:

Happy Birthday, btw! :hug:

[Maine Mary]

17. Thank You So Much

I think very highly of you and yout coffee too. :hug:

[SpiralHawk]

13. "Life begins at 40"

unless you die, of course.

[tuvor]

18. My wife did, too.

Two days before you.

As I kept telling her, turning 40 is better than the alternative.

Congrats! :toast:

19. Don't feel sad -- it gets better...

I'll be 60 next year, and I'm having the time of my life.
