Although I highly suspect that your birthday isn't really on Halloween . . .

if it is, sorry I forgot to wish you a happy 50th.

Happy Birthday Dude!!!!!

 

Thanks Kobi.
While I do throw out quite a few red herrings, Oct 31 is my real birthday and I really am 50 years and 1 day old.

My wife threw a surprise party for me Saturday. Many people I hadn't seen in years. Two women confessed in birthday cards to having had crushes on me. They don't confess that until you're Fifty!

Most of my gifts were for my 'Man Room' done in a western motif. I got a new mini fridge for my bar, some autographed western prints for the wall, a very nice pool cue and a Crosley radio/CD/Tape/Record Player as I still have a lot of LPs.

My daughter got me the Crosley for the room and I have a twenty year old stereo in there now. I guess my days of giant woofers and tweeters are over.

My best present was a letter from my father-in-law,
summing me up in his eyes.

I didn't have a problem with 30 or 40.
With 50 looming, I've had a lot of somber foreboding.

Gather your friends close, whistle your way past the dark shadows and the sun will come up in the morning!

 

Just wait till your 60th

 

Happy 50th Dude!
I just had my 48th, so I'm not too far behind you.

Hopefully you weren't celebrating too much with the goats last night...


regards

 

Last week I got solicitation for membership letter from AARP.
There is nothing else society can do to me after that.

The crazy thing is, my body is aging but, mentally I'm the same person I was in college only not as stupid.

 

Dude, that is just the way it works, I am about 25 mentally, in a 62 year old body.

 

HELP ! HELP !!!!! Somebody gets us out of here!

Somebody please, please, please....tilt my head up and shine a flashlight down my nostril. See that 25 year old guy in there?

Well get me the Hell out of here!
It's dark and it smells old!
I want to play football with my friends.
I want to throw it 75 yards liike I used to!
I want to run like the wind and laugh while doing it!

(If you can't get me out how about tossing down a bag of Pot, damnit.)

 

Well said.

Happy Birthday!

 

You have just summarized my frustrations quite well. I won medals in the 400, I played quarterback and could throw a 50 yard pass easily. Now I have difficulty keeping up with my 6 year old grandson. So, You have to play "smart". Just convince them you can do a lot more than you really can. Not sure how much longer that will work, he is pretty sharp!

 

Ya'll are depressing. I just turned 30 a few months back....I'll be 50 before I know it...



Oh and happy birthday +1 Raoul

 

Hey, you have a long way to go! Enjoy it! Did you see the pics link thread I did?

I see you did.

 

Happy belated B-Day Raoul!!

 

Ditto except mine was just a couple of weeks ago. Still not taking it well. My wife told me last night when I mentioned that I am thinking about buying a drag boat to build over the winter and race next year. She said that she thinks I hit a mid life crisis a few weeks prior to my birthday day and that if a race boat will get rid of this wild hair out of my butt. Then we will get it and she will just be a nervous wreck all next summer.
The guilt trip isn't working, I still want it.... Actually plan on doing some shooping online later tonight.

 

Happy birthday bro. If you ever up here in NH again I'll buy you a steak AND, as an added bonus, I won't make you leave a tip...

I won't leave one either...

 

Way to go Raoul.

Congrats. on the birthday.

I will also be there soon. Just over a year for me.

Oct 31 that would be a blast. Get tired of the theme parties.

Regards
Russell
