Is 50 nifty?

Happy birthday Ray. . let me know how it feels

Thanks. The Personnel Specialist who works for me plastered signs up by all the time clocks to let people know today is the big day.

Bob Hope is 100 today, so 50 ain't all that bad. So far, everything seems to be working just fine and my mind hasn't degraded - at least not that I can tell.

Did you check to see if parts are dropping out behind you?

Welcome to the other side of fifty, Ray. It ain't so bad over here. I think you're going to like it.

jimlegal

Agreed, happy birthday. I am closing in right behind you.

Now, no crisis here - don't be running out to buy a Vette.

Have a great day. xclap

When I turned 50 I bought a motorcycle. Now I'm 32. You wanta know how 50 feels? C'mere and I'll show you............

Fifty Don, not 50 something. Have already had my mid life crisis but like this concept of buying a new toy. . Not expensive but have been thinking of nice BIG made for 2 Hammock.

Okay now - don't be insulting Corvette people. Not all of us are having mid-life crises (then again, not all of us are OLD enough to have mid-life crises). 8-}

Actually, I'm too young for a Corvette, but I'd gladly take one for a present. What I really want is a nice shiny red truck. A truck to haul stuff in for my landscaping projects at home. Someone suggested I tell the wife I need either a truck or a Corvette convertible (put the top down to haul lumber). Being a practical person she will choose the truck and I get what I want.

Ray: For all these youngsters who say things like "Haven't had a mid life crises yet", let's remind them that NOBODY EVER KNOWS WHEN THEIR MID-LIFE IS OR WAS OR WILL BE. What if you are 35 and your mid life, unbeknownst to you, was 18 years ago? Back to the Vette Ray. I think your wife should just buy you one of those little hand trowel shovels from Home Depot, maybe with a red, ceramic handle and maybe a new sweat-rag for the back yard projects.

There is no such thing as too young for a vette!!!

One can find a great vette buy for around $5,000 in the '73 to '79 year, that's the typical wholesale value. I had a '75 but then became married with children and there ya go, the vette had to go. x:'(

Yahoo

Dumped the vette for your kids?!?! xflash Come on! Where are your priorities?????

gillian2

I don't remember how it felt.

Trinity

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!:DD Hope it was a good one! It's great to see you still have that "child at heart" attitude!

I only hope I am as a great a person when I turn the big 50 in about 25 years!

My research in college told me that nobody ever got pregnant in the back seat of a Vet.

Leslie

Only because it doesn't have one - otherwise I bet it would be the highest rated car for such a statistic.

Parabeagle

Can't go by that, Leslie. My CRX didn't have a back seat either, but... oh... wait. Nevermind. x;-)

Actually, my wife did buy me stuff for the garden since I told her that is what I wanted. But, it wasn't red.

Safety, I missed an opportunity to buy a 73 Vette from a little old lady who was a retired school teacher. Honest, she was. This was about 15 years ago, she traded it getting $6000. When I told her I would have given her that and more, she said she didn't want to sell her problems to someone she knew.

Anyway, thanks everyone for making my day a little brighter. I actually left work early yesterday.

Don D

I know you did. I was behind your car as you turned into the market for oysters! Happy Birthday and day after!

annie1992

I hope so, I'm 48 today. As for that Corvette, had one in my 30s. It was a white hole into which I threw money. My all time favorite car: an MG Midget, no back seat there either, but I was told that was what those long front hoods were for.

Ray: Happy Birthday. I celebrated my 39th birthday for the 11th time on Tuesday. My husband suprised me at work by having lunch brought in for everyone from an Italian restaurant. We have about 30-40 people here on any given day. It was a great party! It just so happens that I started to forget peoples names, etc this week. Or maybe it was last week. I just can't seem to remember.

sonny

Happy Birthday to both of you, too!!

ray a

That's funny. My mother is still 39. She was 29 for years, then when I turned 29 she jumped to 39. When I reached 39 she didn't care and stayed right there.

Mentel

I was 29 for so many years that my mother called me one day to ask me how old I really was. She couldn't quite remember what year I was born in (there were 5 of us). I am just like your mother. 29 until 39 and then 39 for the rest of my life.

Happy birthday from another 50+.
Hope you have a great day,

When I was younger, I remember telling my older siblings that they were a 1/4 of a century...I teased them mercilessly when they were 25...I always thought, how 'OLD' (said drawn out with a wrinkly nose). Well, they got me back when I hit that age.

So, how does it feel to be a 1/2 a century? x:P

Me, I'll never be that 'OLD' :oo

I think I'll stop counting like some of y'all.

ray a

OK, HS. Tell us exactly how old you are and when your birthday is and when you hit 50 us old-timers will get even with you, too.

You know what is great about 50? You don't care anymore. So, I've put on a few pounds. So, I'm grayer. So, I have a few more wrinkles. Don't care.

ritaanz

My sister is older than I am. I regularly remind her that I will always be younger than her. Drives her crazy. Hee...Hee...

HS

Well Ray, now you know I'm just poking fun and don't mean a word of it...

On that note, you're going to have to wait more than a decade and a half before I'm that 'OLD', umm, I mean before I become 'older and wiser'.

x:P
