Happy Birthday.

Welcome to the other side of the hill, you are over the hill now. Forget about calling yourself middle-aged. How many 100 year old folks do you know?

It sucks getting old, but it sure beats the alternative.

Hit a milestone or did the milestone hit you? I'm turning 47 this year... for some reason this number has been hitting me hard.

Happy Birthday!

I'll be looking at 56 soon. I should have been dead a few times, (pulmonary embolis), collapse of a construction elevator, you know....things, it's all in the cards.

50 is the new 30.

50 is the new 40

50 is the new 30

Can we go for 20?

Seriously, people are in better shape and living younger at 50 y/o than they used to be. Plus, with the state of retirement savings/pensions . . .

You need DHEA for it to be the new 20
