    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 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

            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 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!
