1. Grey hair, check. Wrinkles, some. Walking stick, two but feeling better

40 reminds you how much more fun 20 was.

2. Cute responses, we can say we have been eight years old one time, they have never been forty.

7. My mom's friend died in her late 30s and mom was so upset

She kept saying over and over that her friend was so young - we were so shocked - we told her that was old...we were clueless.

We're lucky she stayed around for almost 78 years - we were able to show her that we understood that her friend was really young.

3. I remember

i was 7 to 13, cant quite place the age thinking 30 was it.
You turn 30 that was it, it was Logan's Run.
Now at 57 I should have gone carousel 20 years ago at least.

5. I just turned 40 about 8 months ago.

Some grey, but not too many.
Wrinkles, not too many at all. Still get carded for booze.
No walking stick.

I like being 40. Recently, I had a 36 year old woman say that she was too old for me.

One complaint though. Why does the grey hair not grow like the rest of your hair. It's like having errant, white pubic hairs growing out of your head.

6. I married a Marine

when I was 40 and he was 20 - to hell with the stereotypes. I am a late bloomer LOL

8. My daughter was asked in school how life was in the 1980s.

She said that there was no electricity, people cooked over fires, everyone lived in log cabins, all the photographs were in black and white, people had to forage for their food, etc.

9. I don't believe any of these things anymore

They just scream fake.

10. I'm a 58-year-old breast cancer survivor.

My mom died at age 57 from inflammatory breast cancer. I'm so happy to get to grow older

12. Sorry about your Mom.

I'm happy to grow older too. It's a privilege denied to many.

13. Thanks for the kind sentiment!

14. "Fuck these kids!"

15. When I was eight I knew I'd be playing with supercomputers when I was forty.

I didn't know I'd be digging them out of dumpsters.

I got older and life got strange.
