It's NOT HELL turnin' 50!

“Happy Birthday to me.

50.

Can you believe it?

Can't believe I made it this far, but I'm achin' to hit 90, and be shot in the back of the head by a jealous husband!

I quit smoking four years ago today, too!

I had a nce surprise at the office today, and got a speacial birthday cake, a nice pewter business card holder - in the shape of a Harley! - some helium baloons so I can make cartoonish obscene calls, and cards and wishes, and phone calls.

But reaching THIS date, this age, well, I gotta tell ya... it's worth it! 50's cool. Wisdom, Youth, Vigor, Experience, and CASH MONEY sure make the transition a lot easier... and while it's tru money can't buy love, it sure improves your bargaining position!

Scorpio's Unite! Dyslexics Untie!”

“happy birthday scorpio - and congrats on kicking the dirty little habit - so tell me - how many packs of gum do you chew in a day???”

“Happy Birthday, Obi- halfway to a hundred...”

“Happy Bday Obi!”

“Congrats on the milestone!


and what's this?

“Ain't it great! Not exactly the same as turning 21, but turning 50 and still doing the things we do is not bad. I marked the milestone a year ago, about a mile down the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. That is if I correctly remember what my Mother told me regarding the time of the day I was born. Happy Birthday!”

“WATCH OUT

It's downhill from here.

Just kidding. Take it from a 70 year old: It gets better every day! Happy Birthday, Obi Wan Canoli.”

“Happy Birthday, youngster! 50 wasn't that bad for me since I feel pretty good.”

“OWC, Happy Birthday!

By the way, the bear canister is perfect.”

“OWC Happy Birthday, 50++++ is a great age. I just started backpacking”

“congrats obi! At 50, you prolly appreciate canoli's more than the rest of us.”

“SCORPIOS, SCORPIOS, SCORPIOS!

Still have three till 50, glad somebody's leading the way.”

“I can't quite recall exactly what it was like to be 21, however I'm pretty sure it was more fun than being in my 50's. SMILING”

“Happy birthday, Obi! Hope you're having a great day! I think 50 will be good for me too, its a little closer to retirement!”

“Happy, happy fellow Scorpio, Obi!! (mine's Nov. 4)....

Glad it's been sweet.... and best wishes for many, MANY more!!”

“Welcome aboard, BIG DADDY!”

“happy 50th, fellow Scorp! don't sting anyone today! unless they deserve it.”

“Happy Birthday! Go with the FORCE, Obi. 50 dosen't seem so old as I get closer to it.”

“Welcome to the club Obi...I hope Corporal Nasty is right, that we're truly middle-aged, half way to 100. My dad's 84, so between genes and improved medical care, it looks promising so far! Enjoy the day and all those ahead of you.”

“¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Obi!”

“Aero, approaching 50 mught seem like fun, but remember, you already wore one foot out.”

“Happy Birthday Obi! I'm fast approaching a birthday milestone too. Soon I'll be able to tell folks to never trust anyone under 30yrs ! =)”

“As the years add on, remember that whatever age you are, it beats the alternative.

Happy 50th and don't look back; something might be gaining on you.”

“happy Birthday to a fellow Scorpio!!!
Im due for my B-day on the 20th!!

I hope you have a rockin day.
Now go out and buy yourself a Harley and drag race in up and down the street real fast!!
the girls will love it!!”

“So, are you now "Old" Wan Canoli?”

“Drag that Harley up and down MY street and I'll call the cops!”

“Wow, I can't believe that I didn't remember your birthday, even after all those hints”

“Tilt, that's SUCH a cool T-Shirt... I GOT ta get me one o' those!

Hey, Phil! You LOOKED great... you mean I'm YOUNGER than you are?

Buddha, not only do I APPRECIATE canoli's a lot more, I revere them... that's whay I don't eat them all that often... I'd look like Paul Prudhomme in less than a month!

Trekkn, if you can't remember your 20's, but you're sure they were more fun than your 50's - YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Thanks, Snow Nymph... say... you like older men?

Lizs, why didn't you TELL me yours was the 4th? HAPPY BELATERD BIRTHDAY TO LISZ!!!!!! (How'd ya like me so far?)

Geezr, thanks for the kudos... glad to know the can works out great for ya! You sure had some great pics there, fella...

But Tom (Terrific), it's got training wheels, OK?

Thanks everyone, I had a great day, in large part because of all of you!”

“For sure, Obi Wan!

I was going to check their math, but I had a sudden attack of amnesia....”

“Happy 50th! Over the hill...and ready to roll!”

“I'm a little late here--I'm pleased to see you so pleased about your birthday. I hated turning 25--thought I was old--we're younger than that now? MP :)”

“it aint as bad as turnin 70... :}”

“Happy 50 Obi! Howzbout Obi Wan Pruneoli, hehe.”
