A Public Thank You to all.....

TheDefender

who were nice enough to PM me, and remind me that I am now entering my 3rd decade of life on this earth. I don't know why, but this one is kind of tough for me to handle... Anyone else hit the big "30" and find it hard too? (Maybe, it's because my kids keep reminding me that I am turning old... 😉)

Anyhow, thanks again you all... My birthday has been very very nice.

dartcol

(coughs) erm ... isn't it the fourth decade? Sorry! 🙂

29 and 5 months, it's getting very close now :p

5 years left for me and I'm already dreading it...

Happy (belated) birthday 🙂

Oh, THAT makes it sound soooooo much better... Thanks a lot! 😃 (And I used to be pretty good at math. LOL)

Actually, my middle kiddo keeps telling me I am too old to wrestle with him (He's 7) so I just got done rollling him, and showing him I am not too old... Hehehe... Kids are great at keeping me feeling young.

Happy b-day Defender

29 and a half here.

My kid keeps saying things like "Wow that's so old, it's like from the 70's" So I keep saying things like "Everything that was made in the 90s is stupid" Then she says "Dad knock it off"

LOL draw... All 3 of my kids keep telling me I am old.. It's funny how it all comes around, because I remember picking on my parents about being old 20 years ago... 😉

I just made that same comment to her mom the other day. I remember when I was 7 the farthest time ago that I could fathom was the 1950s so that seemed very old to me, well now it's my turn to be on the other end of that, I guess.

30 was not fun for me, although my husband did get me a really nice Movado watch... but anyway after you get over the initial shock, it's pretty cool. You realize you are officially old, but yet you also realize that you've got no one to impress so you can stop giving a crap and just look stupid all the time. And yes, you do begin to turn in to your parents, which sucks for you, but really entertains them.

I find myself using phrases like "these kids today..." and "when I was your age" and "my house, my rules."

And I always have to kick my dad under the table for chuckling :glare:

Which just goes to show you how much time is passing....

Don't look at me: I was saying "kids these days..." back in high school.

So, E, are you only as young as the woman you feel?

[Edit: Yes! Duh!]
