My husband's turning 40 in less than two weeks.
If you were a guy turning 40 and you could have anything you wanted, what would it be?

(Note to Pat: besides the 52 inch Plasma TV :eyes:)

3. Get him the 52 inch LCD TV.
Less drain on the planet and unless you've got amazing eyesight, a fabulous picture. I got mine at Target for $788 at Christmas!

44. His name is Marco Dapper
My obsession with him began at Hollywood Video when I saw him on the video box for Eating Out 2. If you can stand a little juvenile humor and bad acting, rent it. You won't be disappointed :)

35. When I turned 40, the young lady I was dating at the time told me
When I turned 40 (actually, just over 18 months ago), the young lady I was dating at the time told me a week prior , "You get a birthday dinner-- think of ANYTHING you want to eat, and I'll make it completely from scratch..."

One of the better birthdays I've had in a while. :)


(She wasn't a cheap skate, mind you-- we were both of us a bit tight on money...)

40. You should've ordered snake soup
If she's offering the make the whole meal "from scratch" then that means she'd have to go out and kill & clean a snake. Nothing but nothing will tell you if your gal's a keeper than seeing if she can kill, skin, and stew up a rattlesnake.

37. Here is what mine is getting when he turns 45 on March 17th...
Sexy lingerie for me. A candle. A bottle of tingling massage oil. A CD playing nice soft music. Oh..and I am going to get rid of the kids and the dogs for the whole night!!! This night of fun does not cost much in the way of money, but it will be priceless to us just to be alone. Hope that will help!! Have fun! :evilgrin:

I don't turn 40 until June.

Oh, and some alone time with his lovely wife would be really nice. But then, my SO lives 2000 miles away. :D

43. A 1959 Corvette! A Porche Boxter! A car that screams "I'M HAVING A MIDLIFE CRISIS!"
:-D

Seriously, I'll be there soon. I turn 38 this year.

Personally, I don't mind the getting older part.

It's the body breaking down part that gets me.

I can handle the hair loss, the salt and pepper look and the being called Sir all the time.

I just wish my back would cowboy up and not fuck with me so much.

But seriously, get FinnFan the Corvette. He'll love it. If not, get him the video game "PGR" so he can at least pretend he's driving a vette.

46. I was in Chicago, on business, with my family on that fateful day
I went to Lou Malnati's for Pizza with family and co-workers, and then went to Navy Pier and rode the Ferris Wheel. It was a great birthday.
