Birthday Rumbles

[Sibling Lambicus the Toluous]

I've always been curious - at what birthday is it that one stops looking forward to aging and starts hating it?

There's an old saying:  "old age beats the alternative."

[Aggie]

I'm quite accurately described by combining the two closest age categories, except the clothes shrinking bit.  That's purely from poor laundry skills.

Any day above ground and above room temperature is an excellent day...

*snipping most of Beagles (excellent) time schedule* 


39-49
Start liking Radio 2 (not sure of the U.S. equivalent here) and wanting to buy a Volvo.


61-70
Become interested in gardening.

Oh dear, I got my first Volvo when I was 20 and it's still my preferred brand of cars also it should be a station wagon...
I'm listening a lot to P1 that's our "talk" channel; culture, art, science etc. And I can't live with out my plants. I must have been born middle aged...

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

I already hate the youth of today.

excluding myself, pictures of which should be inflicted upon everyone.


wait, no, that doesn't work.

outliving enemies sounds good. the old age stuff not so much.

I'm a bit out of date. At one time Volvo 240s (or Rovers) were the preferred choice of bank managers and accountants here.  Then they went for a more racy image. Don't tell anyone, but I loved driving my dad's Volvo 360, way ahead of schedule.

My first car was a white slightly beaten up Volvo 360 that went by the name froggy...
memories.

Unless you live here:

About 70 percent of Coober Pedy's 3,500 residents live underground. It's simple survival, since summer temperatures soar above 55 degree Celsius.

[Sibling Chatty]

Coober Pedy? My Dad brought me back some lovely opal rough from there. Even made it into a ring that my Mom took over, then lost...

In this time zone it is just past midnight on the 2nd of November which makes it Sibling Chatty's birthday!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST CHATTY!!!

[Aggie]

_{some of us have to wait another day.....  it's a big week for birthdays....} 

[Bluenose]

yes.  And some of us are turning fifty , but don't tell anyone... 

[Aggie]

yes.  And some of us are turning fifty , but don't tell anyone... 

Don't worry...  I'm good at keeping birthdays secret, especially 27ths.

[Sibling Chatty]

yes.  And some of us are turning fifty , but don't tell anyone... 

Fifty?? Easy-peasy. This 55 is slightly annoying. I'm the speed limit??

Beats the alternative...although I DO wonder how much fun it might be to be the undead. Walls would no longer be an obstacle!! But then again, I might be stuck eating nothing but BRAAAAIIIINS instead of cake!

Thank you Sibling Bluenose!

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

I'm sure one can manage to bake a brain cake.

can't assure you that it'll taste like chocolate, vanilla, or any other kind of normal cake. but it'll probably taste like chicken.
