I'm not *that* old. And I try to keep fairly active. Even so, it's annoying to stretch after sitting for a few hours, and something in my shoulders and neck makes a sound like an old mechanical music box being wound up followed shortly after by a 'pop' best described as the sound a deadbolt makes when it's unlatched.-40hz (January 25, 2012, 09:05 AM)
I wished a friend a happy b-day on FB, and he replied that he'd totally forgotten about it. That tends to happen once you no longer love turning another year older. :D-Renegade (January 22, 2012, 10:42 PM)

I'm not that old (or so I keep insisting) and I've long since lost the love of turning another year older. I don't usually completely space my birthday but perhaps that's because, like your friend, someone will remind me. I'll tell you though, I've had a hard time keeping track of my age since I was 19.-Deozaan (January 25, 2012, 01:49 PM)
Since I'm usually a fairly calm individual - and feel that way - I suspect I've become a master at subconsciously pushing it all down. And it's now reaching critical mass.-40hz (January 25, 2012, 01:56 PM)
Have you started getting annoyed by people asking you how you stay so calm yet?-Stoic Joker (January 25, 2012, 04:42 PM)
I've long since lost the love of turning another year older.My thinking on that is that there are really only a few birthdays that merit looking forward to, once you're not a little kid anymore:-Deozaan (January 25, 2012, 01:49 PM)

... thinking you're secretly immortal ....
...standing at Death's door...
... they will be coming to an end much sooner than you originally thought....
... they really won't be living forever. As in: really... won't...be.
...humbled by the realization that nothing is going to last forever. Not even them. ...-40hz (January 25, 2012, 02:34 PM)

So... I waited another year ... When they decided to repeat the same friggin stunt, again...and raised the drinking age to 21. Needless to say, I was pissed.So, you really hadn't waited at all ;D-Stoic Joker (January 25, 2012, 07:45 PM)
