I have less than an hour to get divorced, buy a sports car, and hook up with a hot 20 year old!!!:evilgrin:

7. I'm on the cusp of 40...........
people still treat me like I'm a young thang.

Maybe it's because I'm quite petite and look "young" for my age :)

I don't feel old, but somehow society still likes to remind you that, hey, it's 40.
I'm thinking, so the hell what? I'll do what I want to do when I want to do it, and screw anybody who says otherwise!

:toast: Happy Birthday!!!!

9. Thank you! Honestly, it's not
that big of a deal to me. I agree with you that society makes it seem like something it really isn't.:toast:

11. I say this because I'm a late bloomer......
and am really just discovering that yes, I get older in years, but I'm slowly coming into my own, so to speak.

I'm getting better and I'll be darned if people would think me "old". I feel like a little kid sometimes. :)

3. You are elderly and ought to simply lie down and start pulling the dirt over your own body.
I, on the other hand, am still in my late 30s, and have an infinite horizon of possibilities - of laughter, good times and joy - ahead of me. So ha!





By which I mean, of course, have a great birthday!

6. Happy Birthday, my dear Arger68!
And, BTW, 40 isn't old!

I'm in my 60's and I'm not old....except in years!

Enjoy your life, sweetie!

You are in the PRIME of your life...

10. You're very welcome, my dear Arger68!
Ah...another lurker!

It is my pleasure to address you this way...

I tend not to do it as much in the more serious forums, but here? You got it!
