Default Birthdays.

When did you realize birthdays suck?

-I just had my 36th yesterday and realized I'm closer to 40 than I am to 30...
-You don't get any kick-butt presents to open anymore. Remember the feeling you got when you got your first bike or first hockey stick?
-My birthday being on Halloween meant that there was always a party to go to. I spent this years b-day in Jasper with my husband and 3 month old daughter watching the game on tv,then a hot bath and then in bed by 11pm. And I was content with this!

I am getting old!

Happy birthday Pux, you old bag.

Look on the bright side though. You're already a MILF and pretty soon you'll be entering Cougar Country!

40 is the new 30 and you are only as old as you let yourself feel (so goes the mantra of the over forty crowd)

I remember having to ask an older man for his age once, it was for work or something, and his response was "I am 29 and holding". I thought it was funny.

I just realized Birthdays are awesome. It's too late for me but Yesterday (Halloween) the little guy had his fourth birthday. It was great.

From now on I will have cake with the little guy and think of the OP!!

I'm 26 now and my birthday is March 18th.
Go out for St.Patrick's day and at midnight it's my birthday!
It's always a good time!

Birthday's will suck the day the money stops coming in the envelopes.

For me it was when I hit 25. I know some of you will think I'm nuts for dreading birthdays that young but I made the mistake of missing out on alot of things in my late teens and early 20s and I'm just now learning things I should have 10 years ago. I'll be 28 in a couple weeks and I'm not looking forward to it at all.

A year ago, when I figured that after it's possible, all your birthdays purely consist of sitting in a bar and drinking...and I don't drink...

I'll be 30 on November 12th.

It wasn't until I read this thread that I realized that I'm "getting old."

Happy Belated Birthday, mine's on Halloween too. Halloween bday's were awesome as a kid, but as an adult they don't mean a day for myself. I've been taking kids trick or treating for 23 years now It's still fun, but sometimes I'd rather be at a spa for the day.

I'm 27, and don't celebrate birthdays anymore, let alone tell people when mine is. Apart from sharing a few drinks with friends perhaps, I don't do anything for mine anymore.

Getting older beats the alternative.

Ive counted 53 of them so far...hope to count another 53!

My Grandmother is 95 and still going strong, smart as a whip, Im sure she'll blow by 100 unless something strange happens. She still drives, does her own shopping etc.
She doesnt take a pill for anything, except vitamins.
