Don't worry, you won't feel a thing. It just happens and then its all over. Kind of like getting a shot at the doctor's office.

That said - Enjoy YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

I've still got about a year and a half before my time comes.

I think I'll just go into denial then.

If you're taking a collection for my mid-life crisis, I'd rather have a Corvette, or maybe a trophy wife...

You can always switch to hexadecimal notation, or just lie about it.

Or you can accept your fate and come over to the Dark Side.  The sex is better anyway.

My advice is to go for the 'Vette and hold off on the trophy wife.  A trophy wife may be fun for a while but you won't be buying any cool toys for long.  A Corvette OTOH...

You got a point there...of course, it would be tough fitting my kids in a Vette.  
But dammit!  I don't need Rogaine...I can say with a great deal of genetic gratitude that I still have all my hair and it ain't going nowhere!

you can't get a 'vette with a trophy wife, but you CAN get a trophy wife with a 'vette.

i'd probably need a ferarri, but the same principal applies.

Oh, put a sock in it!

Age is just a number.

Rik....come over to the dark side....




Meh, 40 isn't bad. First, I lie about it.
Second, I make it look damn good.
Happy final week of your 30's!



ETA: Crap...California Kid beat me to the dark side comment.

Rik, get used to slower reflexes too!

Rik,
You need to play this up as you are having your mid-life crisis.

I turned my mid-life crisis into an M16. I feel much better now at 44. (just last week)

Rik, if it makes you feel any better, I thought you were way older than that, so take comfort that you are ONLY turning 40...

You got it backwards...I need the Icy Hot AFTER I kick his ass!
As the saying goes, I can still do everything I did at 25, it just HURTS afterwards now.

What, are you in his age group or something?

(hey I'll be 35 in a month or so... my wife is 38... Unless you're like 110 years old, there will always be someone out there older than you ... that's my philosophy anyway...)

Comparatively speaking, to when our parents were our ages, 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40...

I remember when I was a kid hearing old ladies talk about other wimminz having children in their 30's..."she's too old to have children, she'll be 30 before that baby is born..."

Now, many professional couples wait until they are at least 30 before they even start having kids. Many have kids well into their 40's.

People used to talk about having stressful jobs that could cause heart attack before they were 35... Now, that's almost unheard of unless the patient is a chronic alcoholic, heavy smoker, lard azz, etc.

60 used to be considered elderly, now it's not even retirement age yet (Social Security set the retirement age at 65 because hardly anyone ever lived that long) now it's not unusual to live well beyond 80.

Here's to ya bro, Happy 40 30.

Edited to add: Is there anyone who you couldn't kick their ass when you are 40 that you couldn't have kicked their ass when you were 30? I didn't think so...

The only bad thing about your forties is the body begins to break down. (46 here)
At least mine did. I was very athletic up until 40 when my parts starting wearing out
like a GM truck

Rik,

I feel for you bro, getting old sucks!  I'm only 37 but I'm already feeling the anxiety of coming close to the big four oh...

Either way, have great birthday bro!
