Well I made it to 33x2! 66 years ago today a great man was born! Well maybe not exactly great, but ok. At times I can be a legend in my own mind. Lol Anyway quite an accomplishment! I remember an awful lot of people from my youth never figured I’d make it this far. Boy did I show them! Just felt the need to post this. Probably goes along with being a legend in my own mind. Lol

Hey, I’m happy you made it my friend. Just think how crispy you’d be if you made it to 66x2.

Next time we talk, remind me I got something fun to tell ya.

Happy Birthday!

Cool.

I went through that last year. I hope you're still healthy enough to buy green bananas with confidence.

I’m healthy enough but I don’t get the green bananas

(The idea is you'll still be around long enough to eat 'em when they get ripe in a few days.)

I just hit 66 in September. I try to not be one of those guys who never realizes reality, or fails to see the humor in it. I'm also a truck driver, which gives me time to think of this stuff as I pass the miles. I've got a file of these ummmm, witticisms that have rattled out of my convoluted mind.

There comes a time in a man’s life, when he will admit that he is not the man he used to be.
And then, later in life, the truly honest man will realize that he never was the man he thought he was. jdscholer

Quite an accomplishment! I made it myself last month and realized I had outlived my Dad and 4 out of 5 uncles by 2 years. Kinda like seeing that the finish line is approaching...

I passed that milestone over a year ago. Amazing how the world has changed. I never thought I would make it this far after all the close calls I had. Happy Birthday!

I didn't figure I'd make it past 30, and here I am at 67... ***? I don't think I'm a legend, but I have been known to have delusions of adequacy now and again! :)

Congrats for making it this far, and hang in there!

At age sixty-six I was still describing myself as middle aged.

Just wanted to take a minute and thank everybody for the birthday wishes. I’m a little on the tired side today, feeling my age. Could be because I might have indulged in a few too many adult beverages yesterday. Lol oh and the comment about taking better care of yourself when you were younger, boy am I the poster boy for that!!!!
Thanks again folks!

Hi...
I just turned 68 in November.
After having cancer three times and being declared terminal twice, I am pretty happy to still be here. Been cancer free for over 6 years but still haven't fully recovered from the last cancer bout with the attendant radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

Wife says if I die she will never speak to me again, so I guess I will go on living. Wouldn't want to make her angry.

You don’t have to tell me I was a collision repair man for 30 years! Worked on the commission so the faster you work the more money you made and the more your body suffered!

I approached 66 with fear and trepidation. My father died at 66 as did his sister and brother. Their father and grandfather before them also croaked at 66. That was 14 years ago and now I guess I am running on my mother's genes.

It’s not a question of the year of manufacture, but the mileage.

I have reached 3 x 25 but I know a good idea when I see one. Next year I will be 2 x 38.

I have four months left until I hit 2x36. I'm getting old, and I swear that I don't know how it happened.
