“I just turned forty years old-

“Happy Bday Josh Man...now go get a date with a 20 year old... :o)”

“Don't take any direct hits! *VBG* Try to keep it to 'glancing blows' (so to speak). Near misses are okay...

Hav-a-Happy!”

“Happy Birthday!

(Ah, to be 40 again)

40 was when I started backpacking again (after college).”

“Haffy birfday Mistuh Joshman.”

“Oh, and Avoid Green Beer (if you don't already).”

Forty years old and asking for advice! My gosh! What's this world coming to?





LOL..... Happy Birthday, JOSH MAN.”

“Get out and hike while you are still young.”

“HOLY $HIT!!!
Your 40?!?!
Who woulda thunk it?

Happy Barthday Man!!”

“You've got 10 years to figure out how to use all those senior discounts AARP will throw your way, so don't waste a minute talking to the yahoos on TT.

Happy trails and 2 score, JOSH!”

“I'll be 37 in August. That means I got about 19 years till I can retire and thru-hike the AT.”

“I know how ya feel Josh...last Sunday was mine..but hey I don't feel older tho.”

“my advice is to study up, write a pamplet on what to expect and send it to me in 4 and 1/2 months.

Happy Birthday.”

“Then chili can send it to me 4 1/2 months after that. Happy b'day JOSH MAN!”

“Like the above post...live every day like it is your last,,,cherish each moment 40 isn't old and don't let anyone tell you other wise..................”

“40 is a good age. Old and experienced enough to have gained some wisdom but young enough to have many years of backpacking ahead.”

“If turning 40 is as good as turning 30 than I'll have no problem with it in 3 years 5 months.”

“Congrats, Josh Man, when you figure it out, pass "it" onto Chili and then he can give it to me...I guess 1962 was a VERY good year!! VBG

One piece of advice..don't let ANYONE tell you that you are TOO OLD to try anything..

Ya never know how much time ya have here, so have a time of it!!

Tex”

“40 was good, and it keeps getting better....

Happy Birthday, Joshman! Go for a hike!

....and happy belated birthday, Spam!”

“Happy -----now what was I going to say? This is what happens when your 52! Enjoy life!”

“Thanx Snownymph!”

“Happy Birthday Spam,.. sorry I didn`t get to tell you on the right day,...Hope it was a good one!”

“for some reason today it hit me like a ton of bricks...only 4 more years and I'll be 40? huH?”

“you are just a spring chicken!”

“BUT 40? Where'd it suddenly come from is what I wanna know.”

“Is today your birthday, Carlette?
Did we miss it?”

“Happy Birthday?

My 33rd is drawing near.”

“no today isn't my birthday...
its just a random thought I had today..not sure why.”

“Hey, Carlette, it ain't nothing, life is full of new beginnings: beginning to sag..beginning to go gray..beginning to forget..beginning to......”

“but I'm going to grow old alone!! whos gonna send me to the nursing home...these are major things to think about. Maybe I should start another dating thread..LMAO..on second thought I should report to the DAting sucks thread immediately.”

“What you need is a younger man ;-)

*wink* *wink*

I'm hitting the big three oh in a couple of months :o”

“COME ON CARLETTE! It's only 40, I mean it's not like your turning 80...........its only half as bad.”

“oh and my hands are starting to look like my mothers...I mean JUST LIKE EM!”

“yeah, that's another pasttime of growing older, looking at your hands....then there's that old nasty mirror...............”

“You're not going to grow old alone! Us old people get lost all the time so you'll always have someone to hang out with when you get lost. And since you won't be able to remember anybody's name after meeting them, you'll be making new friends all the time. It's a win-win!”

“Carlette, here's an easy solution to your problem.

You need to start dating guys that are, say, 15 years older than you. They will see you as very young compaired with themselves and make you feel young.

36 + 15 = 51
Dang! That just happens to be my age!

Just trying to help. ;-)”

“I dig older men :P”

“Woo Hoo!!!”

“I think she meant our graves, SS.


(but I'm not old)”

“3 years for me Carlette, seems like yesterday I was in highschool.”

“i thought this was about the 40 year old virgin movie, which coincidentally comes out on dvd today”

“my hands look older than my mothers!!! WAAAA”

“Damn! in 11 years I'll be 40, crap, I might as well give up and stop livin' now.”

“Geez, why'd you bring this up. I'll be 40 in one month... but my hands are marvelous!”
