Hope it’s a great day!

79 is a cool age, and I hope that we ALL celebrate your birthday with a year of positivity, truth and justice.

We organize our retirement budget based on living to 100....

Just curious, in what state were you and your mother born?

What state is he in?

1840's. My Mom's dad Was born in the OK Territory as it was known then and was a pony express rider. We are all connected.

I will be 30 years behind you on Friday

nt

so a bit of an early birthday present haha

My daughter kept going to emergency for "stomach" problems and getting released because everything was ok. Well she ended up her first year of college with a burst appendix. That was not good.

actually saw my appendix was abnormal via a hip MRI for hip pain.

colonoscopy was normal, so the prevailing thought is they go in there, snip it out, don't find anything in the area, and when they check it out, it's not cancerous...but even if it is, if it's contained within the appendix, no worries. If not, there might be some individual cells possibly somewhere but it's a slow growing/nonaggressive type of cancer if present so just got monitor it.

I'm looking at it as a fortuitous finding.

Check in when you’re feeling better.

look for me typing something like argfhafot aareoujn boour as I am under the influence of the anesthesia. haha

sound all too familiar. I asked about an MRI but was told that the DR said if he could jump up and down he was okay. Really???

they look at everything...twice sometimes.

Quality of the military docs varies widely but I'm lucky to be assigned to one of the premier Army medical centers in the country.

If only all healthcare were like that.

We can get it to all but choose not to. That is just morally wrong.

And as we used to sing as the end of that song "and many more".

🎂

Lots of those years here on DU with us, buddy!
🎂 🎉 🎈

Enjoy your day!

May you reach many more!

Make it a good one !!!

Wishing you an upcoming year that is filled with everything you want. And what we want too. Because we all want the same thing. LOL!

Just like you I did not want to croak before the new millennium arrived!
If I knew I was going to live this long, I woulda taken better care of myself.
Hahaha
If someone makes fun of my age, my retort is "if you are lucky, you might make it to my age".

Anyways happy birthday and stay healthy! Let us aim for 100!!

Next year is a BIG one. Hope you're feeling strong and ready to take on the next decade!

But I certainly don't feel this old. I'll often catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and wonder "who the hell is that old lady???"

Yikes, whose hands are those anyway?

8 years behind ya!!!!! Hope you had a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!

And many more! Hope your day was wonderful!

May you continue circling with us for many more to come!

Is YOUR goal seeing 2100?

And many, many more!

I hope you have a special day and a year filled with love, sunshine and laughter. ☀️

Happy Birthday!

"easy eighties". Been there for two years and I will admit you have to ignore a few aches and pains etc. but if you keep on truckin', as they say, lots of fun still to be had although at a slightly slower pace I've found.

APPRECIATE every extra day I get SO MUCH!

Thank you for being you.

"Many Years In Health and Happiness!"

I am 71 and hope to still be posting here at 79 too.

Let's all grow older here on DU as good friends and companions for the progressive cause!..... ........

With many happy returns.

From one, born in January Aquarius, to another!

🎂🎁🎈

Hope you had a great one!

My Mom passed at 62. When I reached that age, I realized how really young she still was and I'm thankful for each year I've had since.

Happy Birthday!
