As I prepare to celebrate my semicentennial, I can think of no better role model.

Hit it, Sally.

Linda, I think you're younger than me in a lot of ways.

Hugs back atcha!

July 05, 2012 07:19 PM

Hah! Only your "semi-centennial" huh?

OK.... Here's half a hug for ya! You get the other half on your full centennial. Watch out that I don't crush yer ribs though 'cause I'll only be 121 that year.

On second thought..... here's the other half of that hug now. I might have a car accident or overdose on Geritol or put my Depends on too tight or something.......

HAPPY BIRFDAZE TO YOOOOOOOOU!

;-)

That's right skypixie0, at our age it's wise not to put anything off. Thanks so much!

Happy birthday! I recall a friend who told me this on the occasion of his 50th; "I'm 39, for the eleventh time!"

Happy half century Jeanette. Good excuse for a blow-out.

Jmac, I'm sure I'll look back one day and remember this as not so bad. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Procopius, you mean I have something to look forward to? Sweet!

Thanks, Dicky! I'm also 18 for the 32nd time!

Thanks, Abrawang. I think me and Sally will do some kicking, stretching and kicking!

kenneth, thanks. I think you may be right about that. A lot of superficial stuff starts falling away, doesn't it?

Steel Breeze, thank you! Gosh, I didn't know there were so many old people on OS! ;-) But I shouldn't talk. I got a membership solicitation from AARP last week!

You don't sound a day over 39--my own age for the past five years.

Happy Birthday, youngin!!

I won't sing happy birthday -- too trite -- but I'll give you the refrain from another old song:

Sally, let your bangs hang down
Sally, let your bangs hang down
I'll find out what Sally's got
That makes the boys think she's so hot
Sally, let your bangs hang down

Belated semicentennial birthday wishes! I'm not far behind and thank you for Sally's reminder to pull my pants up. Hit it, Sally! And kick it, stretch it and kick it again. Woohoo!
