So I am celebrating the Big 70 tonight.

[OAITW r.2.0]

Drinking a few beers....by myself. Had a medical review a few days ago and my PHP asked...do you have any issues? I said...."nope, I'm consistent....have been for the last 50 years of my life. My vices, my weight, and my outlook on life haven't changed."

[KPN]

1. Congrats and welcome to the club. 70 is the new 60.

May you have many more birthdays ahead of you.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Truth be known, told my sibs that I have offficially stopped celebrating birthdays.

They wanted me to travel 3 hours so they could celebrate my birthday. I told them tonight, no you can visit me and celebrate our continued good fortune of all being alive.

[blogslug]

3. Happy Birthday!

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Thanks!

Glad you stopped in to celebrate!

[LoisB]

4. Happy 70th.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Thanks!

Appreciate the comment,

[Nevilledog]

5. 🎂🎈🎁

Congrats on finally being middle aged!

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. It's weird.

Thinking back to my grandparents....they were really old and they were 65. I remember my mom on her 70th and I told her how amazed I was that she was so much younger than her parents at this age. Time is a pretty strange concept.....

[Nevilledog]

27. I've decided to just be 12. It works for me.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. I'm 19 in mental years.

[Nevilledog]

30. At least be 21 so you can drink.

[OAITW r.2.0]

45. 18 YO drinking age in Maine....has been since I was 18.

Timing is everything!

[Abolishinist]

8. Look at it this way...

like many others, you were born in the 2nd half of the 20th century!

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. My dad died in 1976 at 56.

He'd be absolutely blown away with the tech changes that I am experiencing today.

[Abolishinist]

14. So young, sorry to hear.

My dad was born in 1919, and made it to 82 years before cancer took him away. My mom? Bless her heart, she was 99 before passing, and the best was that her mind was still sharp as a tack and no serious medical conditions.

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. Dad had an MI....I was home and kept him alive, but his heart was gone.

Mom passed at 73....she had ALS - her mind was sharp to the end, but her body completely failed her. I'd have preferred that she lost her mind first.

[niyad]

10. Happy Birthday, you kid, ya! Thank you for allowing us to share it with you.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Thank you for commenting!

Don't know how to react to 70, so I'm winging it.

[niyad]

16. You react however you damned well please! It is YOUR story to write as you

see fit.

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. I'm on Chapter 4....I still have 3 Chapters to go.

I think.

[onecaliberal]

12. Happy Birthday!

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. As my BIL told me tonight.....

The 1st 70 are a piece of cake...it's the next 70 that will be interesting.

[onecaliberal]

19. Here's to 70 more.

Happy B day. All my doctor told me “keep moving”.

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. I have a 4 month old Golden Retriever that is tasked with keeping me moving.

The Skippa is doing a damn good job of making that happen.

[elleng]

32. wish I could see Skippa!

[OAITW r.2.0]

35. Well here you go elleng....

He's a lot bigger now, like 1.5x the size...but still damn cute.

28. Oh, you're just a kid.

I’m turning 73 this year. As you grow older, remember that you are only as extinct as you feel!


Now, go pound some more brewskis for me.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. I will remember this.

"You are only as extinct as you feel!"

That, my friend, is a keeper! And will have my next Alligash White, toasting this thought!

[PlanetBev]

50. And many happy returns

You old stegosaurus, you!

[OAITW r.2.0]

I suppose if you think you are 85, but act like your 70....you are 15 years younger. Win!

Small wheel turns by fire and rod
Big wheel by the Grace of God

Bound to cover a just little more ground.

108. Aces!

[DFW]

72. Join the club! I got my official membership last year

I was joined by a few people from Holland, some Germans, one Austrian, and some special women described by none other than the late Stan Lee as "your fabulous females." It seemed like what I imagined a café outside the European Parliament must be like an hour after their session has closed for. I was happy for the company, but, except for the beer, your solution would have been my second choice.

[OAITW r.2.0]

95. I had a BD party like that back 7 years ago in Kowloon, PRC.

It was, hmmmmm, fun!

[BComplex]

73. Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the 70's!

[OAITW r.2.0]

96. Sorta a different 70's than I remember....

[MurrayDelph]

74. Happy birthday, oldster

You've got 13 days on me, but I am traveling a distance to see friends (and my dentist, while I'm at it)

[OAITW r.2.0]

97. It's worth the wait.....

especially the dentist part!

[virgdem]

75. Happy birthday!

Celebrating 71 tonight right along with you.
Have a great day.

[OAITW r.2.0]

98. Great to have another 3/26er on this thread.

A guy who was my boss in the late 80's and now works for my company shares the same BD. He's 10 years older, though. Still kicking it, but, as I keep telling him, I will never catch up to him!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

76. Congratulations

[OAITW r.2.0]

99. Thanks....it was surprisingly easy to get to this point.

But, lets see what the future has in store!

[Faux pas]

77. Best wishes

[OAITW r.2.0]

100. Thanks!

Gotta get one of those medicinal marijuana cards....just in case.

[Mr.Bill]

78. Happy Birthday!

My 70th comes up this July. Not sure yet what I will be doing. Probably not much.

[OAITW r.2.0]

101. My BIL will join you.

He won't be doing much either, I think. But, then again, there's not a whole lot more we can do at this point, I think.

[malaise]

89. Hope you had a blast

Belated Happy Birthday

[OAITW r.2.0]

102. The blast will continue for the forseeable future!

And, finally, I reach the end of the thank you's!

[malaise]

103. LOL

[tblue37]

104. Happy Birthday.

[OAITW r.2.0]

106. Thanks...it's over and on to 80!

[thatcrowwoman]

105. Happy Birthday, OAITW r.2.0!

And many happy returns of the day.
May this next circle around the sun be filled with love and laughter, good health and good deeds, joy and peace with those you love and those who love you. 🌞💞💫🕊
