And from my point of view, you're just a kid, almost young enough to be my son, if that's any consolation.

And I'll take consolation where I find it these days. :)

[Maestro]

43. I didn't tell them.

Got a cake and a card from my coteachers, though. :9

[Forkboy]

42. Hey, Happy B-Day!!!!

I just turned 40 a few weeks ago. It's not so bad actually. Feels just like 39, only with colonoscapies looming ever closer. And I didn't mind the prostrate exam, but when the doc drew a big heart with our initials in it I got a little nervous. :scared:

[ulysses]

44. same to you!

Sorry I missed it, brother. Prostate exams, yes - I remain convinced that the urologist I went to for sperm-viability tests used his elbow.

[Forkboy]

47. But did he sing Moon River while doing it?

:D

[ulysses]

48. he could have been doing the "macarena".

I wasn't paying much attention to him...

[Benfea]

45. Happy birthday! -NT

[ulysses]

46. thanks, Benfea!

:)

[ThomCat]

49. Congratulations!

:toast:

It's kind of scary getting older.

[qwertyMike]

50. Again? :)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

51. Wait until you turn 49 in ten minutes...

...39's a cakewalk.

Happy birthday, and I encourage you to enjoy being 39. Like Warren Zevon once said, "enjoy every sandwich."

:toast:

[MuseRider]

52. Wow fellow Sag!

Happy Birthday, mine was yesterday. Have a good one.

[ulysses]

57. thanks, Muse and all.

:loveya: And happy birthday back to you, MR!

[badgerpup]

53. Happy Berfday!

Thirty-nine ain't so bad...
it's the milestones with a zero in them that tend to freak ya out...like the one that has a five on one side and a zero on the other.
I intended to live forever, but I never meant to get this old in the process...
:wtf:

[sandnsea]

54. Happy Birthday n/t

[SOteric]

55. What?! And I didn't get to give you a birthday smooch?!

Congratulations on another really great trip around the sun!

[ulysses]

56. interest compounds daily.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

But happy birthday anyways.
