For-tay!

Paul in Cannon Beach

I turned 40 last Friday. So now you guys have to show me some respect.

I actually missed work that day but not because I was partying. I was sick in bed. I came by on Saturday and found my office had been given the full treatment.

I guess I missed a cake on Friday and so on Saturday our HR administrator dropped off a home-made blackberry pie. I couldn't believe it!

Even better, my office was cleaned up when I came back to work today.

Congratulations, Paul! Happy 40th!

Belated happy birthday to you Paul!!!
40, I think I remember that,,,the 40's came just before the 50's - right?

Paul in Cannon Beach

That was actually the strangest part of turning 40, Dutch. The realization that 50 is just 10 short years away.

Otherwise I feel great. I stay active. I can still run a comb through my hair. If age brings wisdom, I say bring it on!

40's are the best but remember soon you will be saying 50's are the best.:-O

Paul,


The forties are definitely the best. You're young enough to still do all the things you're old enough to know better than to do.

Congratulations!! You're now in a protected class.

Omigosh Sharon! Good one! \:D/

Happy Birthday Paul!

Paul in Cannon Beach

Oh wow, you are right! I didnt think about that. Is there any special privileges to being in a protected class that I can enjoy now? Is there an orientation I need to attend. Thats so fantastic!

I am ready to be victimized!

Oh brother! Don't get me started! Somehow though, I think you wouldn't play the age card. But then again, you're ONLY 40......::pb&J::

Paul in Cannon Beach

What did you MEAN by THAT comment? As soon as you explain I plan to be deeply offended!

bethk

I meant that since you're ONLY forty you'll have a lot of time to play that card, unlike me.

Happy birthday Paul!

Thanks! Turning 40 is kind of like having someone you dont really want to talk to you catch up to you and corner you for a long, drawn out, unwanted chat. You just have to resign yourself to the fact that you can't escape aging forever.

Unless, of course, you have the right hairdresser, plastic surgeon and lots of money.:D

Yes, but the truth is still out there...somewhere.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Nope, Nope, and DEFINITELY NOPE. My job keeps me young so I guess I have that going for me.

Happy belated 40th, Paul!
