What would you do if you were turning sixty years old tonight?

[BikeWriter]

Poll question: What would you do if you were turning sixty years old tonight?

Inquiring minds want to know! :shrug:

[UrbScotty]

1. I'd work out. (nt)

[BikeWriter]

3. LOL! That sounds like too much work, Pard!

[Richardo]

2. I'd ask other DUers in Houston to come over for a beer or three

...but that's me. :)

HBD, BikeWriter!

[BikeWriter]

4. Thanks, Richardo! I'll probably at least have a few! :-)

[Left Is Write]

5. I'd wonder where the last 21 years went.

'Cause this morning I'm only 39.

[BikeWriter]

7. Lol! You have a good point, but I can recall some of those years. :-)

[LaPera]

6. Go running, smoke a nice big bowl of organic, drink some fine wine, have

some great Italian food, put on some nice Jazz & Blues, and then fuck my brains out all night!!!! And wake up with a smile...ready to hit sixty-one!!!

[BikeWriter]

9. That sounds like a plan, Pard! I see you're about to celebrate a year.

Congratulations!

[LaPera]

16. Well i'm 46. but that's what I'll do when I'm sixty, and even better plan

when I hit seventy!!! (my dad will be ninety-one and he'll want me to party with him and we'll kick-ass).

[BikeWriter]

23. The Italian food sounds good, too. I know a place...

that does excellent Eggplant Parmigiana. I may do either that or seafood. :)

[Hugin]

8. I'd go fly a kite!

Really... Fresh air, nice view, open spaces, it makes
life worthwhile.

Then I'd spend the day with friends.

[BikeWriter]

10. That sounds pretty good, Prag. I'll try some of it. :-)

[hyphenate]

11. I would take time to reflect

and look at my life to determine what is left that needs to be done.

One of the most interesting things I've ever read about is the "Before I die" list. It doesn't matter when you write it, but it's something to keep with you as you go on with your life, and check things off as you do them. What you do with them is another matter--you don't have to do something more than once if you don't want to, but the idea is to at least try something simply for the sake of curiosity.

Things like:

I want to take a pottery class

I want to hangglide or skydive.

I want to go down the Colorado river on a whitewater raft

I want to stare at the stars from the desert at 1:00 in the morning

I want to take a drawing class

I want to climb Mt. Everest

I want to walk in the redwood forest

I want to see Giza at night

I want to buy a dozen red roses for myself

I want to hear myself paged at Grand Central Station

I want to ride a bus to nowhere and be pleasantly surprised

I want to grow tomatoes in a garden

etc.

Some things you will never do. Some things you will find you enjoy enough to do more than once. Some things will be simple, and easily accomplished, but others will be a worthwhile goal to dream about.

I've tried to formulate my own list through the years, and have much to do yet, but I have managed to clear off some of those things I only dreamed of as a young adult. :)

[BikeWriter]

12. That's a good list, Hyphenate. I have done some of those things...

and more. There are several adventures I'd like to take on. A cross country ride on horseback would be one. I'd like to close up the house, saddle up a good horse and go ride as far as I want until I get tired of it. That might make a subject for a book, too. :)

[Bossy Monkey]

13. I'd go tell Dad! Man, would HE be surprised!

60 years ago he was in Newfoundland, helping to break codes.

[BikeWriter]

17. Newfoundland, huh? They probably picked up sub messages...

That was quite the thing back then, the North Atlantic run.

[gpandas]

14. i would wonder...

how i became a year younger

[BikeWriter]

18. Oh, you've already been there? I don't feel any older yet. :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Well, since I did just that a couple of years ago..(almost)

let me see if I can remember...

I voted for spending the day on DU with friends, even though when I turned 60, I was not yet on DU...BTW...

It's not a big deal, my dear BikeWriter..

I'll be 62 this NOvember, and I am happy to be here, in the world, loving my friends and posting on DU...

On my 60th birthday, my husband and I probably went out to dinner...in fact I think that was what we did...to a place that was new to us...

Enjoy your day, my dear BikeWriter....Hope it's a happy one...

:party: :toast: :toast: :party:

:loveya:

[BikeWriter]

19. Thank you, Ma'am. I will probably go eat somewhere.

It seems like the thing to do. :)

[ahem]

20. I'd (EDITED NO SEX THREADS!), then I'd (EDITED NO SEX THREADS!), then I'd

really (EDITED NO SEX THREADS!), and then, if I could I'd (EDITED NO SEX THREADS!) all night long!






Have a good one!

[BikeWriter]

24. ROFL! Thanks, Pard!

[RebelOne]

21. Been there, done that.

Start looking forward to your 70th birthday.

[BikeWriter]

25. Been there, huh? Congratulations to you then,

I don't feel any different yet. Maybe I will tomorrow. :-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Hmm.. I am turning 34 tonight and am gonna go out to dinner and then

read my birthday present. Maybe I should kick it up a notch while I still have the youth and vigor to do so? *g* (Ah, who I am I kidding you are in better shape than I am! Happy b-day! :hug:)

[BikeWriter]

26. ROFL! Well, I am in better shape than some...

Congratulations to you. I hope you enjoy your day. :-)

[khashka]

27. Is it your birthday, pard?

Happy Birthday, old man! (it's my Dad's B-day too)

Now if I were you, I'd find myself a cute little filly, have a few drinks and make love to her on the back of my Harley.


Khash.

[BikeWriter]

30. It will be at midnight, Pard. Thanks for the suggestion. :-)

[matcom]

28. 60 Jell-O Shots

:D

[BikeWriter]

31. Woo hoo! Hee hee hee! I don't know if I could do 60...

I may find out before the night's over! :-)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

29. Probably the same thing I do every year

Fly around the world in two hours, drop millions of gold coins over Ireland and have dinner in Rome.

[BikeWriter]

33. DaMMiTT! You do know how to have fun!

[LeftyMom]

32. Take a pill and go to bed

works for 24 year olds, too. :)

[BikeWriter]

34. ROFL! I'll probably do more than that. :-)

[In_The_Wind]

35. I would enjoy being alive!

[BikeWriter]

[leftofthedial]

37. I'd grease the handles on the walker

and take an extra dose of Metamusil

[BikeWriter]

41. Hee hee hee! Smarty! Thank you. :-)

[leftofthedial]

44. be careful about the Viagra overdoses though

and remember the four-hour limit on erections

[WCGreen]
