Oh, I'm ancient!

[RedHedd]

I recently heard that 50 is the new 30. I'm 55 so I guess I'm REALLY ancient.

For my 30th birthday I subpoenaed all my friends to a party. My birthday was on a Saturday that year so I subpoenaed them to a "Final Friday of my 20's" party. I think I still have the subpoena somewhere. It was a fun party at the London Wine Bar in San Francisco. I don't remember too much about the evening, probably because I drank too much AND it was like a million years ago!

Tell hubby 30 is NOT old at all! That's when you're just getting good at being an adult and it DOES get better. My 40's are still my favorite decade.

Get over it honey!! I just turned 41. You're as old as you feel and as old as you want to feel. He doesn't know what ancient is. Ancient is my ex-grandfather in law who lived to be 101 years old, that's ancient.

LOL
I can totally relate to your husband's feelings. I turned the big (and dreaded) 30 this past year and felt rather traumatized. I refuse to accept that I'm an adult, and so when people ask me how old I am, I simply say I'm 25 with 5 years experience....

Sometimes it takes them awhile to figure it out. LOL

I am 46 and my grand parents lived well into their 90's and great grandparents into 100... When I look back- 30 feels young..

30 was much tougher for me than 40, for some reason, at least at first. Maybe it was the black roses my then husband sent to me! Grrrrrrr! And my life totally changed when I was 30 as I went through a divorce, moved off on my own with my then 2 year old daughter and our cat (Mimi). I sort of look at it as my life began at 30! Tell your hubby to get over it and enjoy being "30 something".

I couldn't WAIT to turn 30. Things get better with age. I never understood geting upset over turning 30 (or 40, 50, etc) since its all just a number, nothing else. Its how you feel, emotionally and physically that counts.

I concur with Queen of Poop: get over it!

[critter crazy]

Oh Boy!!! I cant wait till next year! Hubby turns 40!!! I am so goig to through him a huge suprise party!!!! Hubby has yet to complain about hs age!! besides hubby always say that he only feels as old as the woman he is with, and since I am only 29 he feels young!! he he he he he!! Hubby is a big goof!!!

Looking back, 30 is now my "favorite" age!!!

( I swear that I'm still 12 )

You are as *young* as you feel fella!!!


This is not a dress rehearsal, LIVE IT UP!!!!

My husband just turned 25 last week. His mom told him he was "a quarter way to dead". I told Justin to take it as a compliment because that means his mom expects him to live to 100.

My husbands friend turns 30 on Saturday. His wife is throwing him a little party with some of his closest friends. I don't think he cares too much that he's turning 30.

When my mother-in-law turned 40 she had a party thrown for her. Someone gave her a key chain that read "here's my keys, now where's the car?" When she first looked at the key chain and read it aloud she read it as "here's my keys, now where's the cat?" With a puzzled look on her face she said "that's cute, but I don't get it". It was funny and very memorable (she still gets teased about it years later).
