Happy Birthday, darling!

Hope your day is special, and may it be the start of the best year ever!

My life really began at 40, so I personally have no regrets whatsoever about being designated Middle Aged.

Happy Birthday, Julia99!!![/size]

As the cheesy 70's commercial used to say: "You're not getting older, you're getting better!"

Besides, middle age doesn't start until you're like 60, right?  ::)

I turned 40 earlier this year, so I know how you feel.  But you know what?  If your health is good and you're enjoying life, so what if you're "middle aged?"

Hope your day is the greatest!

Love,

Cassandra Blair

Well, if you were to live to, say, 90, you've pretty much been middle-aged for six years already - youth: 0-30, middle-aged: 30-60, senior: 60-90. But, of course, should you not live until 90, well, who knows how long you've already been middle-aged?  [b003]


Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, J99! I hope you have a great day.  I wish I was 36 again.  My older sister has been 29 for 10 years!

A very happy birthday, J99--enjoy every second of it--and every second for the rest of your very long life!

I say age is completely a state of mind.  I'm turning 50 in December, but my body has been telling me for quite a while now that I'm REALLY 100!  My brain refuses to believe it, so I've got a 20 year old brain in a 100 year old body.  Talk about your middle-age spread!

Party like it's 2999, my friend!

Love, Robin

Juila99,

Age 36?  Are you kidding me!?!  Heck, I'm beginning to think of Ezra Braithwaite, "Grandmama" Edith Collins, the Eagle Hill Cemetery Caretaker, and the seemingly ageless (and delightful) Bathia Mapes as my own personal Dark Shadows rat pack/contemporaries!!!

In any event, Happy Birthday to you!!!

Now, please excuse me while I take time to apply my personal supply of "Sham-A-Nee" (sp?) facial lotion.

Sincerely,

Bob the Aging Bartender (a/k/a "The Methuselah of DS Fandom!!!)

Glad you had a good birthday, J99. And I meant what I said elsewhere about the cape cod. [beer]

Happy day,

A VERY Happy Birthday to You!!!!!!!!

As a fellow 36-year-old, I feel I can say that 36 is not middle aged.  Actually, I don't think there is a "middle age" anymore.  Credit for that belongs to the baby boomers who keep pushing back the "official" starting age of middle age.   ;D

Hope you had a great day!

John
