Today is my birthday.

[femmocrat]

I'm kinda bummed because I feel old.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

1. Well then,.....

🎂

[femmocrat]

2. Ahh, thanks so much!

That made me laugh.

[vsrazdem]

3. Happy Birthday.

[femmocrat]

4. Thank you, vsrazdem.

Very nice to meet you! Welcome to DU.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

5. Happy Birthday!

I am 75 - does that make you feel younger?

[femmocrat]

6. Thank you, Laf.La.Dem.

Not saying'! LOL

[LenaBaby61]

7. Today is my birthday ....

I love this song nearing 2018 just as much as I did back in 1981.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday &

[femmocrat]

9. Thank you, LenaBaby61. That's a catchy tune!

Is it also your birthday today? If so, Happy Birthday back!!

[MFM008]

8. Have a good day!

[femmocrat]

10. Thanks so much, MFM008.

I am having a very nice day, thanks. I appreciate the greeting!

[Permanut]

11. Happy Birthday femmocrat!

Today is my birthday too! 72 years, and ready to go for 28 more.

[femmocrat]

23. Happy birthday to you too!

Let's go out and celebrate! LOL

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Happy Birthday, my dear femmocrat!

I hope our cheerful messages will help you feel less bummed...

Have a lovely day! And remember: the world is a better place with you in it!

[femmocrat]

24. Thank you so much, Peggy.

You are too sweet and kind.

[IrishEyes]

13. I turned old again this year

I don't care. Growing old is better than the alternate. There are great people of every age out there. Look at Betty White and Carl Reiner. They are both 95 and still awesome. If anyone asks, I say that I am over thirty and leave it at that.

I hope you have a Happy Birthday!

[femmocrat]

25. Thanks, IrishEyes.

I just say, "I'm a baby boomer!" That covers a lot of ground.

I asked my husband this morning, "How did we get to be the older generation?" His reply, "We kept breathing." LOL

[DFW]

14. Don't feel old

I'm so old, I own fossils of animals that used to be my house pets.

Surely you're not THAT old?

(Besides, I had my over-the-hill party at 21 to get it out of the way)

[femmocrat]

26. LOL, Thank you, DFW.

I'm older than the dirt that covered those fossils!

You have had a lot of great experiences... I think I better get out there and do more fun stuff before it really is too late!

[DFW]

37. Remember these lyrics

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you

[panader0]

15. Happy Birthday

[femmocrat]

27. Wow, what a great song!

Thank you, panader0! I enjoyed that tremendously.
I do get to have some of those second (probably third by now) childhood moments with my granddaughters. They keep me moving!

[panader0]

29. Isn't that the woman in your avatar?

[femmocrat]

41. It does look like her.

My avatar is Agent Carter.

[Solly Mack]

16. Happy Birthday!

And many more...!!!



Chocolate truffles for the blues.

[femmocrat]

28. Ohhhh.... truffles!

Can't resist! Thank you very much, Solly Mack. Chocolate cures just about everything!

[sl8]

17. Happy Birthday!

I find I feel a tiny bit less old after my obligatory birthday drink.

[femmocrat]

30. Hahahaha! Too funny!

Thank you very much, sl8!

[geardaddy]

18. Happy Birthday!

I'm guessing that you're not as old as you feel.

[femmocrat]

31. Thanks, gear daddy!

To think I used to be able to dance that fast ... Well, maybe not THAT fast!

[applegrove]

19. Happy Birthday!

[femmocrat]

33. Thanks so much, applegrove!

And damn the calories, please have a piece of cake with me!

[applegrove]

52. Will do. Raspberry cream cake with white chocolate I will virtually bake

for you.

[femmocrat]

63. You are an angel!

[MrScorpio]

20. Happy Birthday

You're only as old as you feel

[Aristus]

21. Happy Birthday, femmocrat!

[femmocrat]

34. Thank you so much, Aristus!

Cheers! To good friends on DU!!

[cwydro]

22. As my dad used to say... growing old beats the alternative!

Happy Birthday!

[femmocrat]

36. So true!

My husband told me the same thing.

Thank you for the birthday wishes, cwydro!

[cwydro]

50. Hugs for your birthday.

None of us getting any younger.

Celebrate your life!

[rzemanfl]

32. Happy birthday. I'm 70, but have felt 80 since yesterday. n/t

[femmocrat]

38. I know exactly what you mean.

Yesterday did not help one bit. I'm still bummed over that.

Thank you for the greeting, rzemanfl. We are in the same boat!

[rzemanfl]

40. Want to rearrange the deck chairs? Or should we mutiny? n/t

[femmocrat]

42. I think I still have a mutiny or two left in me!

Vive la Resistance!

[rzemanfl]

43. Right on. n/t

[ailsagirl]

48. Oh yeah....

No need for that fake ID anymore!

[onethatcares]

46. you are old.

suck it up and move forward. You'll never be as young as you are now, go for it all.

[femmocrat]

47. :ROFL:

True! It's all downhill from here!

Thank you, onethatcares!

[LuckyCharms]

49. Happy Birthday! n/t

[femmocrat]

58. Thank you, LuckyCharms.

I have been away from the computer for a couple of days. Please accept my belated thanks!

[Laffy Kat]

51. Happy, happy, femmocrat!

What I am discovering is the older people get (generally) the more interesting they are.

[femmocrat]

59. That's one way to look at it!

There are all those great stories to tell! Thank you very much, Laffy Kat! I can tell you are a born optimist!

[Phentex]

53. Happy Birthday!

Pluck a chin hair and feel young again!

Hope you had a good day!



We just got the power back on. But I expect it will go out again later.

[femmocrat]

60. Thanks, Phentex!

Glad your power is back on. That is the worst.

I had an OK day.... good friends at DU helped a lot. Always something to laugh at or smile about here.



The search for perfect tweezers continues.....

[Fla Dem]

54. Happy belated birthday. Just remember, youre only a DAY older than yesterday.

[femmocrat]

61. Well.... two days now... LOL

Thank you very much, Fla Dem. Tempus fugit !

Sorry for belated thanks ... I've been off the computer since Fri.

[Thor_MN]

55. Happy Birthday!

December birthdays suck. "Here's your Christmas AND birthday present..."

Mine's the 22. One year (I was like 14 or so), my family forgot until after Christmas that my birthday came and went... And they wonder why I don't really care for celebrating birthday...

[femmocrat]

62. Awww.... that's a sad story.

My husband's birthday is Dec. 16, and he never wants a cake, because "it's too close to Christmas." I always make his favorite dinner though.

Happy upcoming birthday to you, too, Thor_MN. Thanks so much.

[Collimator]

56. There is a saying,

that "Old age is always exactly 15 years older than you are."

Happy belated Birthday to you.

[femmocrat]

57. Thank you very much, Collimator.

I guess I'm done feeling sorry for myself now!
