LOL … yeah good idea ;) …. The only thing I can say is "it sucks to get old"

But generally better than the alternative!

My brother in law's birthday is December 31. He grew up thinking his birthday was being celebrated by the entire world.

My first wife's b'day was Dec. 25. Was generally a downer for her, as it wasn't her "special day." Yes, I DID always wrap most of her gifts in b'day paper! :cry:

    Getting "Older" is very easy - It's staying "Younger" that's a problem . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

    LOL .... yeah we are born with a terminal illness called aging.... I don't even try to stay young any more... Come to think of it, I have never tried to stay young.

    I’d be okay with aging if stuff would stop creaking, crackling or generally malfunctioning. It’s quite irritating ;). Mom says it’s just God’s way of making us slow down and enjoy life for a change. I get that, but I’d enjoy it more if it didn’t take a “warmup” just to get moving in the morning :rolleyes:

    My son's birthday is Valentine's Day
    So is my mom in laws! Mine unfortunately falls right before it’s time to mail in our “donation” to the IRS :(. My brother’s is January 3rd. He’s always said his birthday presents are the stuff people returned after Christmas.

    LOL ….yeah I fully intend upon going to a wonderful afterlife...If that doesn't occur and if my belief system is wrong, then I won't know anything anyway.

    But what if your belief system is wrong and you end up someplace horrific and know it? This stuff is tricky.

    It’s sort of like getting a present from your 96 year old Aunt Agnes.... you won’t know what’s inside until it’s time to open it. My personal beliefs indicate it’s going to be awesome :).

    I’d rather focus on enjoying my life, than worrying about what might come after it’s over. It’s not going to change what I find when I get there.

    In twenty years, I'll be 81, so I'm definitely not going to worry about that.
    I’m not far behind you ;). Unless someone creates a time machine, we’re not going to know what the future holds. I seriously doubt we’ll see that in our lifetime.

    Although, I wouldn’t mind a mini time machine that could tell me if the vape stuff I’m buying now is going to be on clearance in a couple weeks. That drives me crazy. I guess I just outed myself as impatient and cheap :lol:

    I suspect that in twenty years' time we might all be gasping for breath whether we vape or smoke or do neither.

    I'd take one of those, as well as a mini teleporter that could zap me to the grocery store and such.

    There’s already a refrigerator that connects to the internet. Why can’t it go to the grocery for me??? I mean, really, how lazy can that fridge get????
