Da*n! Guess I should have been a goner five years ago according to Amber's calender

I have a complete meltdown when I turned 30... Made up for at 31!
My hair was greying when I was 20 (runs in my family), so I have always been pegged as looking older than I really am (I don't care what color it turns as long as it doesn't fall out!)

Now that I am going to be 37 next month, I am looking forward to 40. I had 2 of my best friends turn 40 this year... huge parties, catered, great booze etc... That would be fun... I was also thinking about Vegas, or someplace tropical with just me and my wife... who knows...

Happy B-day to you and your sister....

sure yer not related to me? I was greying at 20 also, but I would rather be grey than bald (Which wont happen to me, barring illness of course).

Dont think I would look good as a 'chrome dome'

40 was no big whoop, really. I still find it odd to say. But, like Bruce, people tell me I look ten years younger and that helps. The idea of 50 freaks me out a bit. 30 even gave me the willies, but 40 wasn't a big deal. If my life sucked, I guess my attitude might be different. I guess that my relative feeling about my age is connected to where I am at with time related goals and all that stuff. On that count, no worrries. Staying fit is a big help, I think.

I agree - no big whoop!!!!
That was seven years ago and nothing really changed between then and now.I think the biggest pain is your eyesight changing........
Taking care of your skin and body definitely helps. No aches or pains yet - I'm in the gym every other day!
I wouldn't want to go back - I thrive on all of my experience!
Have a great birthday!!!!

I don't care about age - yet. I honestly don't think I will ever care, though. My sister-in-law acted like her life was over when she turned 30.

She's going to be 39 this year, so I don't know how much longer we'll have her with us - she may decide to off herself before the big 4-0.

I can't wait to turn 40. I have some issues with growing older, but I generally feel that life gets better with age and that getting older is a gift. I prefer to look at the lines around my eyes and the few extra pounds as souvenirs from living and surviving.

Okay, that sounds really dumb, but I do believe that!

I was so excited to turn 30 and then my life went to hell shortly after, so I believe that the 40's will be my decade.....
