[Ichingcarpenter]

you want to wish me a happy sixtieth birthday


'Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act'

I feel I'm starting my third act and so far I liked the first two acts much better,

Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened.'

Still don't feel old until my arthritis kicks in and I still am wondering what the hell happened to the USA and where the hell all the years go? Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.I read that 60 time moves 2.7 times faster than at 30 or something like that... I guess we are all time travelers.


Anyway

I await some of my friends and my kids for a dinner this evening. My daughter is cooking it and bringing it over here so
I got to clean up my little place. I’m at an age when my back goes out more than I do. Then I will eat drink and try to be merry for tomorrow........



See its not all about Obama
its about I, ME, ME, MINE!

Please remember me. :-)

[TBF]

12. Happy Birthday -

I understand the arthritis woes. I will be 45 this summer and it hit me at 43 (my dad in his teens when his arthritis arrived, so I'm grateful I had as many good years as I did). It's funny, now that I am "middle" aged, I'm finding myself grateful for simply surviving another year. :)

Glad you'll be celebrating with family!

[deutsey]

19. Awwww, have a great one!

Happy Birthday. 60 seems a good age. My husband is passed it and I am closing in, a couple more years to go.

It does start to pass quickly and arthritis sucks as does not being able to see as well, still life can be as grand as ever.

Lots of good years ahead of you, have the best day ever.

[MrMickeysMom]

20. I'm a couple + years behind you, YET...

my muscles and arthritis in my NECK give me so much shit, I say the same things.

I've decided to continue a fairly intense, program (offered up by reputable Chiropractor) so that I DON'T FUCKING AGE ANYMORE! Ha-ha-ha!

I don't give a shit... I'm convinced I have too much left in me, to have physical pain in me. Be willing to share anything with you, too.

And remember... Sixty is sexy!

26. Happy Birthday !! Enjoy your day !

[H2O Man]

27. Happy birthday.

The "third act" is a curious adventure. I took a drive yesterday, just to look about at places where various segments of my life were lived. And to think about what used to be, and what changes have taken place.

We all get a ride on this living rock, as it circles the big ball of fire. Exactly how many is uncertain until the point when we die.

Enjoy the ride!

[Divernan]

28. Being 60 means being 3 times as energetic when you were 20!

Speaking from experience, your 60's can be a kick-ass decade - it has been for me. Have a great day, and an even greater year!

[LiberalLoner]

39. Happy Birthday, I wish you many many more good birthdays too! I hope

that you will enjoy good health (I'm sorry for the arthritis though) until you die peacefully in your sleep at 110 or so years old.

I hope that we will all see a turn-around of the bad days that have come recently and a resurgence of good old-fashioned liberalism in America.

49. Happy Birthday and that time speeding up thing

is a matter of perspective. At least that is the best explanation I've ever heard. It's because, at 60, a year is 1/60th of your life, whereas at 5, it's 1/5 of your life. Perspective.

I'll be joining you in a few months. Too fucking bad that our old age has to be so damn interesting.

[SusanaMontana41]

50. LOVE that! Happy birthday, Ichingcarpenter, and

thanks for giving us laughter today!

[Buns_of_Fire]

51. Happy Birthday, and as one roughly 60 1/2, I've found it's not too awfully bad...

Wisdom of the aged: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky appendages and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

57. Happy Birthday youngin and now its time to recite the old mans prayer

62. It SHOULD be all about you, reaching this milestone!

Happy, happy birthday! Hope you wish me the same on turning 60 in a few years!! We all try to ignore those aches and pains, that's for sure. My Grandma, who lived until she was 96 used to say "It's a gay life if you don't weaken". (Note: she meant 'gay' as in fun, the old-fashioned definition, but she did not discriminate, she had gay pals. Great thing happens for some of us as we age, we get more tolerant and open minded!)

[Sparkly]

63. Happy 60th!

64. Happiest of Birthdays to You! (Today is my son's birthday, too!)

PHIL: This first slide here shows Madge and Bill standing right there in front of the New York Space Authority building, ready to start our trip. You can tell it was a pretty nice day on account they're not wearing any protective clothing except for goggles and a mask. The old guy got hit by our taxi–that was some wild driver we had–and the kid's playing a trick on him. Cute, hah?

Happy Birthday!

My Mom and sister flew in to surprise me this weekend, I'm finally getting the perfect omelet plan and we're having my desk refinished, as well. We're going out to celebrate tomorrow. then I will take a long nap.

Besides being tethered to annual and semi-annual doctors' appointments, 60 is kind of cool. I don't care as much what people think of me, I get to mentor 20-year-olds, I will marry my partner after 19 years and I am happier than I've ever been.

So Happy 60th to you. I wish you much happiness.

[MrModerate]

106. Happy Birthday. And 60 doesn't have to be old . . .

Unless you let it be (or the hand you were dealt in the genetic poker game turns out to a busted flush, or your first two acts were waaaaay to much fun and the chickens are coming home to roost).

Mostly it's attitude. I just reached one year behind you, and a year from today I have no intention of taking the anniversary seriously at all.

[trud]

107. You're right

After 50, people start falling apart. When I was a kid, I thought that happened at 80. Still we have a lot to contribute, work through the pain.
