    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.

    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

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