Hi Congratulations on 50yrs!

I did the 50 thing last year....I was so distraught! In the past, 50 was the official "turning old" age. It came,it went,and then another one came. It's not so bad!! AARP sends you all sorts of stuff for discounts, and I can honestly say I am at the age where I don't really care what other people think.I don't have to feel that I need to try to make an impression...I've lived 50+ years and I feel good about myself. An earlier discussion said there are too many old people here. Who defines what is old?? People made comments on the news about the couple who won the lottery a few months ago...saying the money was wasted on old people...and they were in their late forties!!!

It is great to feel you have an edge...being 50 gives that to you! Enjoy!!

Enjoy it! You'll never be this young again.

The great baseball player Satchel Paige--who did not know what year he was born--said, "how old would you be if you did not know how old you were?"

Woo Hoo, go and celebrate. You have a half century up..........:-))

I turn 50 in July and you know, I don't give a fig, it is another year and I think when I turned 40 I realised the freedom "from having to be" in society and now it is even better. I CAN BE a grumpy "old" lady if I want and ENJOY it............:-))

Happy birthday, have a great time.

Ironically, I'm looking forward to turning 50, AW1958. I've never experienced any anxiety when I reached similar landmarks like turning 30 and 40.
I actually felt lucky. Plus I just like having the even number. LOL. Peace always

I did the 50 thing almost a year ago and next month I get to turn 51. I don't feel this old at all (except when I don't feel well).

So Happy Birthday, God Bless You, and may you have many more birthdays to come!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
