    Thats exactly what I've got. I am really worried about the day this gets tired and decides to stop altogether! Well my life has been a bit bland over the last couple years, so a (any) change probably would be initially welcomed (damn, I've just jinxed myselft haven't I?).

    Well, the signal is that your father and brothers have it. But, who knows... you might miss that boat. :~

    This statement is false.

      Eight minutes before I'm 31. 31. Thirty One. Thirty was a an indication of getting on, but thirty one... It means that you've now been there done it, wrote the book. You have past it. Mate, you are old.!:(

        I raise my glass to you! I agree with that sentiment because I try to look at aging as being like the maturing of a fine wine. You live and learn. ( I'm 38 )

        When I was seventeen It was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights Wed hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen When I was twenty-one It was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one When I was thirty-five It was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five But now the days grow short Im in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine >from fine old kegs >from the brim to the dregs And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year It was a mess of good years

          I tell everyone my 30s have been and promise to continue to be the best years of my life thus far. It could be denial, but I think it's the truth. ;) Happy Birthday!

              I hate to tell you, but 31 you haven't done it. I haven't done it, or wrote the book on it at 41. You've done it, and wrote the book on it when YOU decide to give up and stop doing it. I started learning music at 40. I started photography all over again at 37. Heck, I started my life over again at 37 because of my 2nd divorce. I still haven't done it all. I haven't seen it all. But I am still trying, still learning, still doing. I'll write the book when I decide to, but for write now, I'm still 41 years young even if I did loose 20 years of my life in 2002. Live for today, but never waste tomorrow. and happy birthday!! may you have many happy to come! -- modified at 22:09 Thursday 10th August, 2006

                Getting old is the point! Besides, who says you can't write the book, then decide to write a dozen new and different books? :-D

                    Does this mean I clear my two marriages and divorces off my record because I wasn't sentient then?

                                        Does this mean I clear my two marriages and divorces off my record because I wasn't sentient then?
