Now Officially an Old Fart - the big 5-0

<p>Yippee. ;)</p>

<p>I already have had solicitations from AARP. More junk mail.</p>

<p>Must…fight…this…urge to move to NY, buy a Cadillac and drive slow in the fast lane. :)</p>

<p>Ha! Happy Birthday, and welcome to the club! (won’t say exactly how long I have been here…)</p>

<p>Even stronger woudl be the urge, I should think, to move to south Florida during the winter, at least, and tie up traffic…</p>

<p>The favorite bumper sticker I ever saw was in Tampa/St Pete and said:</p>

<p>“When I get old, I am going to move up North and drive around slow”</p>

<p>My 22 yr old son just got a solicitation from the AARP. We’re trying to figure out what kind of a mailing list he got on.</p>

<p>Thanks. I am counting my blessings. :)</p>

<p>Being born and raised in Florida I can explain why that sticker exists.</p>

<p>Other Florida favorites include:
“Happiness is a Canadian driving north on I-95 out of Florida with a New Yorker under each arm”</p>

<p>“Welcome to Florida…now go home”</p>

<p>* “Be nice to your kids. They’ll choose your nursing home”*</p>

<p>I turn 50 in less than two weeks. Although, I have also received an AARP solicitation, the worst has been the offer to assess me for a Lifeline medical alert!</p>

<p>These are good too:</p>

<p>Alcohol and calculus don’t mix. Never drink and derive.
All generalizations are false.
All I want is less to do, more time to do it, and higher pay for not getting it done.
All Men Are Animals, Some Just Make Better Pets
All Men Are Idiots… And I Married Their King.
All stressed out and nobody to choke!
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.
Always remember you’re unique, just like everyone else.</p>

FLORIDA: We’re number one! Wait! Recount!
FLORIDA: Where your vote counts and counts and counts.</p>

<p>Sorry - I am stuck on the funny bumper stickers.</p>

<p>Happy B-day DP. H and I went hiking in the mountains yesterday. Five hours spent going either straight up or straight down. I feel like I’m 85 today,lol. Have a great day.</p>

<p>Welcome to this side of the round numbers, p2n!</p>

<p>Parent2noles–maybe you can get a recount on that age :).</p>

<p>Next June, I’ll be right there with ya.</p>

<p>Love the bumper stickers quotes.</p>

<p>I’m older than the hills, apparently, and even a good percentage of the CC parent population.</p>

<p>Happy Bday P2N!</p>

<p>Happy b-day. I, too, love the bumper stickers. We drove through rural SC and GA this weekend. Saw some really SCARY bumper stickers in the convenience stores down there! Best saying was on a T-shirt (at a place near the Appalachian trail)…“Walk faster. I hear banjo music.”</p>

<p>Happy 50. I’ve gotten over it and moved on ;). You will, too.
I remember while in med school at USF hearing that St. Pete was "Home to the newly wed and the nearly dead! But never saw it on a bumper sticker.</p>

<p>Thanks, y’all!</p>

<p>I was so overjoyed at my birthday I took the day off to work around the house.</p>

<p>Let’s see - I have to mow the lawn, wash the car, run 100’ of 75 Ω coax through the attic (trying not to fall off the trusses) clean the windows and… :eek:</p>

<p>P2N Some people are so groovy that NEVER become old farts. They skip right past that and go straight to wise and cool. :slight_smile: Good news for you huh?</p>

<p>Happy Birthday!!</p>

<p>Happy Birthday!!!</p>

<p>I feel like the spring chicken. Just turned 4-0 a few months ago ;)</p>

<p>Thanks, SBmom. I’ll never be as cool as you. :wink: As for groovy - is that what happens when you sleep on a corduroy pillow? :)</p>

<p>Has anyone see this: <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_uncle[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_uncle&lt;/a&gt; ?</p>

<p>A bit Asian, but I had to laugh when I read about students and teachers employing the terminology.</p>

<p>I just turned 49 last week; I sympathize!</p>

<p>I don’t know about groovy… but when you sleep on a corduroy pillow you do make headlines.</p>

<p>Happy Birthday!</p>
