<p>Haha! I swear I didn’t even notice the numbers. But it’s like 2000 and 2001. BOTH are pretty cool. :)</p>
<p>And some day we’ll look back at the days when the numbers were only 4 digits…</p>
<p>I convinced the W that gray is a state of mind. She stopped coloring her hair, I never started on mine, although I know many men who have/do.</p>
<p>A friend of mine just turned fifty and is leaving his current job after fifty years. He is referring to his as “rewirement.” </p>
<p>Fifty still sounds old to me, and will until I cross that great devide in three years. Then “old” pushes back ten years…</p>
<p>Slugg, take P2Ns recommendation and go with the Harley (new trophy husband optional)</p>
<p>m&sdad–What, turning 50 and leaving a job of 50 years? What is he, a robot? “Rewirement” sounds suspicious to me. :D</p>
<p>Correction: leaving after 30 years. </p>
<p>Memory is the first to go…</p>
<p>^^^ LOL 
C’mon over here, sonny, and be with the old folks!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:D 
</p>
<p>Have you guys seen Superbad?</p>
<p>^^McLoved it.</p>
<p>My naturally streaky dark blonde (light brown?) hair has one and only one small shot of grey in it. About a year ago I started highlighting my hair, just a notch, so the grey would get lost in the lighter tones and hopefully mimic “ash”. So far, so good. </p>
<p>Did a whole body-&-closet midlife makeover (lots of exercize, nothing surgical) and now can fit into my 20 year old D’s clothes.</p>
<p>My memory, on the other hand, is crap…</p>
<p>Tomorrow is slugg’s birthday. Hmmm.</p>
<p>Hmm.</p>
<p>Hmm.</p>
<p>What can we do to celebrate?</p>
<p>Happy (early) birthday, sluggbugg! :)</p>
<p>It’s all downhill from here…um, I mean it’ll always be better!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hmmm, indeed. How about * All-Slugg-All-The-Time*. That would be good. That would be very good. </p>
<p>Of course, that either means she has to sit at the keyboard all birthday long (not bloody likely) or that the rest of us need to get cracking on “Best of…” </p>
<p><em>heads off to find at least one entry; the rest of you guys, you’d better do the same</em></p>
<p>m&sdad:</p>
<p>No, they say actually memory is the 2nd thing to go. </p>
<p>I forget the first thing…</p>
<p>OK, a special version of Happy Birthday for Sluggy:</p>
<p>“Happy Birthday to you,
Second Life is a Zoo.
Come back to the Alley,
Where the marmots are true.”</p>
<p>Celebrate? Dearly beloved, SURELY you know that tomorrow is [International</a> Talk Like a Pirate Day](<a href=“International Talk Like A Pirate Day – Sept. 19, every year since 2002”>www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html)! </p>
<p>'nuff said!!</p>
<p>OK. After 20 minutes of in-depth research (don’t ya love time stamps on posts?), I have found my contibrution to tomorrow’s “Best of Slugg.” </p>
<p>Dibs on #3957 (no fair peeking either; I’ll post it here tomorrow).</p>
<p>Party hats optional? What time do we start?</p>
<p>jmmom, great minds think alike. BEST OF SLUGG was just my concept. I dibs a$$land. Hope that isn’t 3957?</p>
<p>Don’t think so, SB. </p>
<p>And don’t think I’ll make it to midnight tonight. So, tomorrow, after I perform a couple of revenue-producing activities* in the A.M.</p>
<p><em>even tho she’s the oldest, jmmom is still not retired; and (all together now) jmmom still *looks</em> young)</p>
<p>and acts like a youngster too…</p>
<p>How could I forget TLAP Day? It’s also S#1’s birthday and every year we toast both happy occasions. My excuse: I got distracted by slugg’s B-day!</p>
<p>Best of slugg. I’m in!!!</p>
<p>It’s early yet. Or it would be, if it weren’t Slugg bday, mommusicS#1 bday and TLAP Day. Seeing as it is everyone of those (and more, but how would I remember, I’m the oldest :p)… it’s not too early for a libation in SA. I’ll leave the libation decision to others, but herewith:</p>
<p>Toast Numero Uno: Best of Slugg #3957
</p>
<p><em>now</em> I will engage in some revenue-producing activities</p>
<p>Classic Slugg! As Dear Abby used to say, “Thanks for a dandy day-brightener!” :)</p>
