7. Happy Birthday!!!
You're not really that old. I'm 40, and though I hated turning 30, I love being 40 for some reason. Congratulations for making it this far!

Boy, are you old. Just 44 years ago, i was 3 times your age. Now, i'm only 6.67% older than you! So, you're getting old faster than i am.

17. I turn 45 in April...never felt better.
How've you taken your forties so far?

I don't know about you, but I've never felt better! I play league volleyball a couple times a week. I started snowboarding last winter (I thought it would be like surfing, which I did for about six years, but snow is much harder than water). I think it all has to do with keeping active and not thinking that you have a right to be a fat lazy slob just because you managed to stay alive for 45 years without getting flattend by a bus or hitting the cancer lottery.

I took forty as a "second chance," and things have only gotten better since. Sex is better. Food is better. I'm in better shape than when I was in high school. One of our kids is about to move out, another will in a couple years. Age is a state of mind, and I don't mind feeling like a twenty-five year old.

32. You know you're old when...
Some comedian I saw did this one...

He knew his dad was old when he started announcing everything before he did it...

"Well, I think I'll go get myself a slice of that pie" as he struggles up from his easy chair. Almost as if the minor accomplishment of merely standing up needed to be celebrated.
