Countdown to 31
-
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 Dream of Absolute Zero
Bah. You bunch of sissies. You aren't even sentient until after you turn 40. (I turned 45 a couple of weeks ago) Happy Birthday! :rose:

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 reached this milestone about 6 weeks before you. I came to a decision. My 20's rocked, my 30's are going to be even better :cool: Happy birthday! :jig:
A mum and loving it!

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?

Funny thing, no-one wants to get old, but no-one is keen on the alternative, either :-)

Well, I still like the idea of living forever. But I guess I'll have to settle for wisdom. :-D

Am I the only one that thinks this would be a bad thing? I never liked the idea of living forever.

Well, I don't know about living say after the planet has been destroyed. But, I wouldn't mind a run stretching a few thousand years or so. :-D
