AARP will start to send you info at 50 and that may be when you might start to feel old. I'm not there yet.

Yep! Turning 30 is like falling off a log. You start falling apart after 40, *G*.

The AARP packet was in my mail when I got home from work on my 50th a month ago. I've been studiously ignoring it, but the discounts are whispering to me.

The speed you seem to live at Crazy Mike, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you got to 30 faster than normals, LOL.

How's about that Golden Passport, Pekka?


Biz... I'm afraid that smoking will only accelerate the process.


Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and grey.

So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.

An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability,
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility,
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.

Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.

I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.

30?

I have scar tissue older than that.

Being thirty means you still have several decades to go before you retire and get paid to do nothing but backpack.

I hope my girlfriend grows up to look like Snow Nymph,.. wait a minute,.. I don`t got a girlfriend, but if I ever get one I hope she grows up to look like Snow Nymph!

Snow Nymph you`ll always be young, at least in part
with a love for wild things and your forever young heart
just walking around a hidden lake, or climbing some high rocky shelf
you go girl, even these old eyes can see you take care of yourself

Over 30? Time to make vitamin I a regular part of your to your backpacking experience.

Good ones gordon and tilt! (scar tissue and mustache).

At this rate Mike - you'll never catch up with me. I'll be a year older than you for the rest of our lives.

The 30's are great! The 40's are great! Can't speak for the 50's yet, but I imagine that they'll be great too!

Heck, AARP already sent me something when I was 42. I didn't want to rush things, so I threw it in the trash.

I stopped getting carded some time in my 30's. Getting older is fun. It's the alternative that sucks.

I think each day that you are alive and well and can go backpacking is great.

Happy Birthday ( a few days early).

I like to think I am "30 with 22 years experience".

Today is my wife's birthday. She looks a lot younger than me, but in reality she is a few months older. I have to be careful what I say.

I got something from AARP yesterday. Maybe I'll open it. They are supposed to be the largest membership organization in the country.

Turning 30 was a peice of cake. It didn't really seem like I was "in my 30's" until I turned 31.

What's with the advance notice? You're expecting to get showered with gear, aren't you?

Now that I am advancing in years different things give me pleasure than in my youth.

When I read the morning paper and do not see my name in the obituary column I know the day is off to a good start. Of course too often the obits is where I learn what happened to my old friends.

Ben Gay, Gerry Tol, and Ty Lenol are now my best friends.

I don't fret gray hair and wrinkles anymore. They are badges of experience for life. I've earned every one of them.

It no longers bothers me that my get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went when I consider where my get-up has been.

As I recall, thirty was the pits and forty was a blast. In fact it was so much fun that I look forward to fifty and it's coming up fast! As Tight Wad Bob, err Honey says, "I'm on the dark side of forty now."

Happy birthday to all you youngens!
