Today I feel as though I have passed a milestone in my life and I don't like it one bit. All of my friends and family are telling me I'm getting old
Is 40 getting old or is it the new 20?
Arfcom, make me feel better on my Birthday!
Also looking for suggestions on what to drown my sorrows with? I'm thinking a few glasses of Woodford Reserve "Neat" might make me feel better later

LOL...Get back to me in twenty years with a comparison. You will pray you were 40 again when you hit 60.

Happy Birthday...Now harden the fuck up.

I don't really care about any particular birthday.  I was glad I got a break on my PT test at age 40 though.  

Congrats on making it to the midway point in this marathon called life.

Shit, I only have a year left in my 40s.  
I'm not looking forward to the big 5-0.  Physically I'm doing okay for now, but the knowledge that I'm about to start the long and fatal downhill slide is not comforting.

I would like to think that physically I'm doing good. Mentally however is a little different. Thinking about it as a downhill slide is certainly not comforting at all.
Meh, can't do anything about it, so enjoy whatever you got left.

Stay in shape, buy the biggest computer monitor you can find, and roll with extra large fonts.

40 is the prime of life. I started feeling my age when I hit 50. (I'm 70 now.)

Your body changes at 40. You become leathery.

I turned 41 this year and told everyone that 41 is 14 with twist.

I'm 41 now and to be honest it doesn't feel that much different than 38.






Take care of your physical self, your spiritual self and your family and it's all good. I actually think I'm better now than 10 years ago. There is something to be said for experience. Try something new, expand a horizon, get some more sleep and use sunscreen.




Congratulation, you have achieved an age where you can start to be excused for being very blunt.

My old neighbor said that when she turned 81. She used to say being 18 again felt great and I would just look at her like

Hell yes. I am going to buy some reading glasses. I am still not sure why everyone switched to smaller fonts this year.
