How to celebrate

Ok guys....today I am officially 50 years young and was doing well until my 14 year old informed me that I can now join AARP. The midget will pay. :jester5:

I wish I could share my traditional birthday cake (strawberry shortcake) with you all! Thanks for being there to help keep my brain cells active!

Congrats!!!

Beer and pizza (or hotwings) make any celebration complete.

What wonderful news...Happy Birthday Melody!!! I'm glad to have a buddy in what I call "the cresting edge of over the hill"...I'm gonna be 52 in just a few weeks. I don't consider being over the hill till life get's too tough and you HAVE to slow your pace that is when I plan to coast for a while:D

May you never reach the point where life gets too tough and you have to slow down. My mother-in-law is 76 and her husband is 84 and I swear these two have more energy than most 50 year old's I know! I want to be just like them at that age! Well, ok...and I want to be eccentric. Up to this point, my husband says I've just been strange. Eccentric comes with advanced age (which my 14 year thinks is now).

Happy Birthday! Make a wish!
Well, ok...and I want to be eccentric.
Yes, definitely! I come from a long line of eccentric women and wouldn't have it any other way. My great-grandma raked her own leaves and shoveled her own driveway and walk until she passed at the age of 92. She was just too stubborn to let anyone else to it for her.

Done here.
Happy Birthday! :balloons:

I have a theory that stubborn, independent people live longer because they're in better health from doing their own mowing, shoveling, etc.

If it's any consolation, I'm a Jr and I started getting AARP stuff when my dad turned 60.:eek: Even today, 6 years later, I still get ads for hearing aids and invites to seminars for income planning for seniors.:biglaugh: Life is funny.

Enough about me.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY and congratulations on raising a 14 year old with such a quick wit.:p
