Turn 40 today, going to have a drink.
 

Perhaps two.

Pffft. Let me know when you hit 50 and your knees are gone.

Happy Birthday. The downhill part gets steeper now, better have a third one to cushion the landing.

Welcome to the club. I turned 40 in January. Stock up on Geritol and Depends right now!

I hit 44 two months ago. I can't see shit! Get ready for your eyes to go to hell...

I turned 22 last week ;)


40 is the new 30!

Turn 25 on the 28th woooooooooooooooooooo still going up hill baby!

Getting older sucks.

Looks like the OG roll call in here. I turned 44 in March. Happy B day old fucker.

You old bastards.

Getting pretty frosty, but I have a few hours to go.

you guys sure are crotchety.

when I turn 40, I fully expect to be carded for my two drinks.

I agree that 40 is looking younger and younger. I turn 31 in June.

I love it when you say something with the word crotch in it, Y8s.

50 here.
The scary thing about aging is that the number of chicks that look hot to you just increases with time. As a lad, I would have puked at the thought of a 40 year old... now? I'd hit that.. and that... and that...

Assuming I found myself single, that is.

Nah what's worse is when a buddy's daughter starts to look hot...

Well, the good thing about 40 is I had enough sense to quit drinking at a reasonable time.

In the old days, I would have stayed at it for a few more, and felt like ass the next morning.

People always think I'm 7-8 years younger than I am (28). Dunno about 19 off though. :giggle:

I think I should start my mid-life crisis. First step: procure red sports car.

See, I have good alcoholic genes on my dads side so I just drink too much, go to bed at 2 am, and get up for work at 4:30. Only occasionally though.

Turned 43 on March 31st.

"Get off my lawn you young whippersnappers!"

41 here. We aren't OLD - we are just Vintage.

Congrats gramps

It is time to have a drink.

Only drinking on your even numbered birthdays must really suck!

I'll drink one (coffee mug full of Southern Comfort on the rocks) for you though...

I turned 40 in September and was just thinking that same thing the other day haha.

I'll drink a few for ya. That's what I do...all the time.

59 here. Coming home from the shop I was thinking, "why am I souping up a sports car? In 10 years I'll be 70". BECAUSE I WANT THE EXPERIENCE. And it's been fun.

Shit, I thought I was gonna set the bar at 57. Guess not.
I still try to act my shoe size......

Cheers & Happy Birthday!!

Got back from having a drink.

One of the few things really good about being of age is the fact that I have hurt enough from drinking over the years that I will not likely hurt too bad tomorrow from drinking.

I was a slow learner though. Good times! :party:

Happy birthday, buddy!

For my 40th, I got a prostate exam (yay). On the up side, he said a had a prostate of a 17yr old. As if that's supposed to make me feel better!
It also confirmed I'm not gay... just relax, yeah right!
Happy birthday man, kill a couple for me.

this is what happens when suspect noobs post in the threads of the elderly.

It's getting hard to find whiskey older than my kid. And expensive.

Old whiskey, new whiskey, the hangover is the same. I have been on the vodka in controlled doses.

Post #1 is in 2011. Update three years later. Awsome. I can't remember most of the stuff I did three years ago. :rofl:

I was having a good day and I was reminiscing. Besides, I was thirsty.

Did I miss something?

Its time to have a drink, AND get myself about $1500.00 or so in Miata parts. Then I will have another drink.

I mean Saturday would have been a much better day to buy an MKTurbo setup, as I was in town and had them on hand. Now I have to ship the damn thing to you.

That is funny, because I came mighty close to buying a 99 that would have been the perfect candidate for one of your setups. I decided to pass, and use all the money towards my project.

Happy bday man :)

Well, this is interesting... Three years later (well, 3 years minus 8 minutes) and I am doing the exact same thing I was before.

Yes, this is my first post here in 10 months. I sold my last Miata (the Lava MSM) and the Beer Cooler a few weeks ago. Still messing with arcade machines. I am staying around 35 total right now. Buying and selling as room permits...

I turned 40 in March, and I MUST have been drinking, because I got engaged a week ago.

All joking aside, I am as happy as I have been in as long as I can remember. I am down about 10 lbs (20 or more to go), my blood pressure is under control, and I got a substantial raise at the beginning of the year. Life is good.

Thank you! Getting older is not really too bad after all.

I remember you! Don't ever get out of the game completely.

Nice! I think you are going to love it. I got married a year ago, and we have a daughter now. Why the hell didn't I do this years ago?

In my case, I met my fiancé 20 years ago this year. I fell for her.

But she was married to another guy.

I didn't want to be the guy trying to break up a relationship so I became friends of the family, but mostly her. I knew I might do or say something stupid so I only called her on her birthday for 12 years (after I got out of the Marine Corps). We would talk on the phone for an hour or two, and then say goodbye until the next year. By the end of each phone call I was crushing on her again. Every year.

Three years ago she separated from her husband... Divorce was final a little over a year ago. I felt terribly guilty but I knew how I had always felt and I went for it. Getting older will do that... I don't have time to screw around. I want to experience this life for whatever time I have.

Thats a pretty cool story. I think I will have a drink for you!

I missed your birthday! Sorry!

Just buy me a drink later and we will forget that shit ever happened.

I probably would have known if I used facebook or something. My FB account has a false BD, if it ever comes up.

Happy bday 2fast- :friday:

Things to do today:

Bring back this old thread.

Have a drink.

you're 47?

so will either of you finish your cars before 60?
or is that too soon?

:giggle: lolol I keed :giggle:

9's before 90?

Lol. On a Hoveround

I turned 40 earlier this year......it's really not as bad as I was thinking it was going to be...

I'd buy you a drink but I'm in Boca Grande fishing.

I turn 42 in July, and last week had my first "old man" injury... literally reaching down into the fridge to put the cheese back, I pulled a muscle in my lower back. WTF just happened? The wife is a nurse and blamed it on me using my back too much to do situps at crossfit the day before... huge abs day. I'm 6'4" and 240lbs... maybe time to loose the extra 30 I've been carrying around since 2000'ish.

Happy birthday, man.

I turned 56 4 months ago.
