It's not for three days yet but screw it. Unofficial Shadow's 40th Birthday thread.

[shadowknows69]

Happy un-birthday to me. Turning the big 4-OMG on the 10th. Those who have made it that far before me let me know. Will I feel different? Am I grown up yet? B-) Who's tipping a glass with me tonight? Got Killian's Red in a cold glass and bongs a plenty. Come join the fun!!!

[lonestarnot]

1. Happy Birthday in 3 days shadow.

:D

[Delphinus]

2. Let me be the second!

I'll take one of each. Happy 40!! :party: :toast:

[shadowknows69]

3. Actually you made it in second Del but there's plenty for all

Lonestar gets the first hit then pass the duchy on the left hand side please.

[CJCRANE]

4. Happy Boozeday!

:toast:

[ret5hd]

5. Young punk! Get off my lawn!

[shadowknows69]

15. I'll remember you at Halloween time when I'm buying my eggs

B-)

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Life will not be the same again as you know it.

Happy B-Day anyway.

[zbird]

7. Age is just a number. Passed the big 4-0 eight years ago.

And I'm still alive and kicking. This is, however, the first time the President is younger than I am (how did that happen?)!

Have a great celebration. Just make sure no one is around to take a picture of your bong hits... you never know when that shit will end up on page 1.

[shadowknows69]

10. I don't plan on being anywhere near the running for a gold medal in my future

So I think I'm safe. Making guests check cell phones at door though.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

8. It's downhill from here ... you're going to start falling apart!

Lifting a glass of Vouvray: Happy Birthday! (and pass the Doritos and Pop-Tarts). :P

[shadowknows69]

11. Shit, I started falling apart 20 years ago

Much of that admittedly self inflicted but....

[Blue_In_AK]

9. I didn't like the 40s.

Now I'm in my 60s, and I'm enjoying my age much more. But have a very happy birthday anyway. :toast:

[shadowknows69]

13. If I make it to my sixties I will enjoy them immensely

Because in truth I didn't think I'd even make it this far.

[KittyWampus]

12. Okay, but if you are drinking do not go out and drive!

[shadowknows69]

14. Never happen. Lost too many friends that way for that to EVER be an option.

[KittyWampus]

19. Me too! Happy Birthday . We made it through 8 LONG years

and here's hoping we get to argue on DU for another 8 years.

[shadowknows69]

21. I hope I'm not that miserable but I'll drink to that.

Trust when I say that it's probably more miserable to be me than to read me.

[KittyWampus]

22. OHHHHH I took that part out but you caught it anyway. It was just an affectionate slap on the back

sort of thing.

I am sorry.

[shadowknows69]

23. I took it as such actually. Sent you a pm.

For a change, nothing can bother me tonight. Well, I may have to amend that when my wife discovers I bought a pack of cigs for my party of one.

[azmouse]

16. Congrats! These are the best years of your life!

:party:

[calimary]

17. Happy 4-0 minus three days!

Yowza! Congrats! The 40's were a great decade for me. Hope they work well for you, too! I got my black belt when I was in my 40's - after not being athletic at anything EVER before in my life.

[pipi_k]

18. Happy birthday....some of us

would probably give our entire bank accounts to be 40 again.


I had a midlife crisis at 21

another at 30

By time I got to 40, 30 looked pretty damned good

Now I'm 56 and 40 looks like the Prime of Life.

Moral of the story...no matter how crappy you feel about your age, if you live long enough, those "crappy" years will eventually look pretty good

:)

[Dappleganger]

20. A big happy 40 to you!!

[proud patriot]

24. happy unbirthday to you

I turn 4OMG in May .

[shadowknows69]

25. I'll do advanced recon for ya!!!

[shadowknows69]

26. Killian's #2. Does rice absorb alcohol well?

I may be in trouble.

[shadowknows69]

27. "Dear Mr. Fantasy"

Play us a tune. Something to make us all happy.
Do anything to take us out of this gloom. Sing a song, play guitar,
Make it snappy!!

[sarge43]

28. Happy B'day, youngin'.

Well, it is a moment when you look in the mirror one day and mom or dad is looking back at you. If that hasn't happened yet, get ready.

[madmom]

29. I hit the double nickel today so let's PARTY! I'll tip one with ya, happy un birthday : )

[Tsiyu]

30 hurt my feelings in a real bad way, but I was so ready for forty!

38. Happy Birthday.

Forty isn't so different. Weather you're grown up or not, you'll just have to figure out yourself.

[shadowknows69]

39. I'll have to do it tomorrow, after the Killians has had its way with me.

[tnlefty]

40. Happy Birthday shadow!

:toast: Pinot Griggio here. :toast: :party:

40 was great for me, except for that damned Dimson**. All 3 of my sons and I have birthdays this month and I'm rapidly careening toward 50. Could you pass the bong please?

[Texasgal]

41. I'll be 40 on the 24th.

I hear it's the new 30! :bounce:

[shadowknows69]

Youngster, the 40s is the new 30s ...............

Nevermind...... Happy birthday.

[shadowknows69]

44. Wow, looks like five Killian Reds is my limit for the night

Getting sleepy at 10pm, a shadow of my former self. I can feel the extra year already and it isn't even here yet. Dread mon. Truly dread.
