Well, it's official....I'm Tue, 03/20/07 1:29 AM (permalink)
truly an OLD Man. I turned 50 about 85 minutes ago. I guess i'll be nodding off in my beer. I won't be chasing women any more. I'll have to take Geritol every afternoon just to get up. I'll be cranky ALL the time.

Oh well, life was fun while it lasted.

    Lawrence Welk is usually on Saturdays. The Geritol sign is in between the chandeliers. You can catch silent films on Sunday nights.........last night was The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Don't be cranky, just be snarky. Keep eating good Roadfood. Happy Birthday!

    Living well is the best revenge, you can be sure.

      Well Happy Birthday!!!

      It sounds as if your way ahead of the game Mike. That description fit me to a T when I turned 40.

      You'll find the cranky part especially satisfying!

            I turned 60 last month. They say 60 is the new 40 - so I guess that makes you 30!

            I remember when I turned 50, it felt as though I was 22 when I went to sleep and 50 when I woke up. Thought about that for a day or so, then decided to just keep truckin' and don't look back.

            Happy Birthday, Doug

                I remember my dad often saying, "After 50, it is all maintenance". I'll find out if he was right in six more years.

                    Life is a lot like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end of the roll, the faster it seems to go.

                    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.


                    Mike, enjoy your day & party BIG!!!

                            HAppy Birthday! 50 is OLD MAN! it's ancient!
                            I'll never be THAT OLD!


                            just kidding. 50 is nothing. I should know. I'm in my 30's. So listen to my advice....no? you don't want to hear anyting from some young punk?
                            ok then. I'll stuff a sock in it and hum "happy birthday to you."

                            cheers to you and all the best!

                                We're going to see Eric Clapton in 2 weeks, and I realized I saw him for the first time 40 years ago, when I was 14 and he was with Cream. I thought "damn. I'm old", but then realized that Eric's the one that's old, since he was already in a band and touring when I was 14.

                                So now I don't feel so old.

                                  Happy birthday, you young punk. And if aging bothers you, consider the alternative.

                                          Damn you are old!

                                          This coming from one of those young wippersnappers John was warning you about!

                                          Sir, have you signed up for AARP yet??

                                          All joking aside, Happy Birthday, keep on enjoying the better things in life, good beer, great food, and now the senior discount.

                                            Hello MikeS,
                                            Happy Birthday.
                                            Do sign up at AARP. My car insurance went down with them like you would not believe.
                                            50 years...what sucks is that women do look at you differently if they know you are 50.
                                            But you are married, so that shouldn't matter.
                                            Co-workers look at you differently. Just call them young punks or punkets...but it doesn't
                                            help the ego.
                                            Some will say age doesn't matter, and it doesn't, as long as you have a passion.
                                            And MikeS. you seem to be a soul that has a passion.
                                            I tip my glass to you and wish you a joyful birth anniversary.
                                            Long may you know and inspire the passion of life.
                                            Take Care,
                                            Fieldthistle

                                              Been there, done that and bought the t shirt. As long as you're breathing there's nothing better.

                                                Man, you are sooooo much older than me! (I'll be 46 in July.)

                                                Enjoy all the discounts; I know I will when I'm way old like you.

                                                      age is a metaphysical concept with little or no relativity to everyday life... the same milestone looms for me in 9 short months

                                                            Mike, 50?? You're just getting started! You can get away with about anything. Folks will shake their heads and say,"oh well, he's just an old man". I've been getting away with it for years!
                                                            Happy Birthday!
