Now Officially an Old Fart - the big 5-0

<p>50 is the new 35</p>

<p>70 is the new 50.</p>

<p>(YES!!! We like it when you talk like that, TheDad, keep talking!)</p>

<p>lol…“headlines”. </p>

<p>I hope the new age references stick!</p>

<p>HHHAPPPYYYYY BIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTHHHHHDDDDDDDDDDDDDAYYYY toooooooo YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!</p>

<p>Don’t I sing well? :)</p>

<p>H turned the big 50 this past July. For gifts, friends gave him:
A plastic prostate self exam kit
Prune Juice
Big Afro Wig (for his perfectly smooth pate)
A magnifying glass
A AARP application
A gold bib
a large print pill box…and more…</p>

<p>The worst part of getting old was that exam. No idea what a self-exam kit would be and I don’t think I want to know…yuck. </p>

<p>However, as the mootmom can attest, I still have all youthful SSCs.</p>

<p>Mrs p2n still evokes the occasional drool, but that’s more private. ;)</p>

<p>Enjoy it. We did 6-0 this year. Wait until you get care for our parents.</p>

<p>Happy birthday to you P2N.</p>

<p>I think you make a nifty 50. If 50 is the new 35, that’s great because you get a do over without diapers, training wheels, show and tell, etc. Talk about if you knew then what you know now… But wait. You do :)</p>

<p>Happy bday you old geezer. Wait… I remember 50… I think. I am looking at it in the rear view mirror. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. So, enjoy it! Great age. Except gravity is cruel. Hair and bellies fall, along with a few other things…</p>

<p>You are already in Fla-- just get the white socks and sandals and head off to your blue plate specials. You are all set.</p>

<p>Time passes quickly. We should all have more fun and fewer headaches.</p>

<p>I learned, for example, how to make the perfect omelette yesterday after several prior flubs. I popped out of bed to make Mrs p2n one before she went to work. Wait a sec…she was supposed to make one for me. I’m telling you these females are crafty critters or I’m just waaay too easy.</p>

<p>Wonder if she takes this bumper sticker too literally: All Men Are Animals, Some Just Make Better Pets</p>

<p>Wait. I see opportunity here. :D</p>

<p>You’re only 50?
Susan Sarandon turns 61 the day before I turn 50.
If I look like that in 10 years :smiley:
( although she is playing a Grandma in the Lovely Bones)</p>

<p>My H plays in an over 50s soccer league, which I have unofficially dubbed the OFL</p>

<p>Ole Farts League</p>

<p>oh yeah, for his 50th we had a Get Lei’d at J 50th</p>

<p>A Hawaii 5-0 theme!!! Hawaiin shirts everywhere!!!</p>
