Happy birthday!

The truly weird age hurdle is 50; I never noticed 40. Or 45.

I guess it's just weird no matter the number.

Forty five was a very good year I think ... wait a sec. there -- that was in 11+ years ago and sheesh, my mother died when I was 45.

In any event, Happy Birthday to you and I wish you many more good years!

and tantric sex. Work to keep Democrats in power. You need as many friends as possible, especially as you age. But above all, enjoy life and try to cultivate love wherever you can.

....just remember that you get older or YOU DON'T. Whenever I hear gripes about aging I ask 'would you prefer getting older or not?' The negative answer leads to whatever memorial your family chooses.

... my eyes went at about that age. If you don't have glasses, make an appmt with a good ophthalmologist. Also, if you haven't been to the Dr lately, get in for a complete blood panel to see if you've gone Type II Diabetic, cholesterol, all those levels. Throw out the salt and start counting calories, if you are getting that middle-age spread going. Otherwise, kick up your heels! Happy Birthday!
