Omigod! How can this be? Today, I am 64 years old!

I looked in the mirror, and I don't feel it, or (I hope) look it, or act it...

But there it is...

64 years ago today, I was born!

Alas, I did want to include a link to the famous Beatles song, "When I'm 64" but I can't get it to load properly...

You'll just have to imagine it!

Thank you all for being here for me today......and every day!

Remember: I love you all!

:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

Edited to add: Thanks to ohiosmith, here's the link!

I hope you have some fun plans in store for you! :)

Actually, I have class today!

So I must be off shortly...

Tonight, my beloved husband will treat me to dinner out!

Thank you!

:hug:

I wish you an abundance of everything meaningful to you. :hug:

And I do already have that, in abundance...

Thank you...

My life is joyful and content and fulfilled...:hug:

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

:hug:

It should be!

:hug:

And for your invaluable help too!

Hope you have a great day!:party:

How did you do that?

I could not get it like that no matter what I tried!

Blessings on you!

Thanks, sweetie!

I am!

A life well lived seems to be the likely answer to me. ;)

Have a very happy birthday anniversary and may you have many more My Dear CaliforniaPeggy

Looks like a life well lived so far, anyhow!

I'm hoping for many more too!

Thank you...:hug:

I like your spin!

Thanks!

Happy Birthday from Joe, Frank and Winnie!

Franklin looks disgusted. Winnie seems to have a stomach ache. Joe is the happiest of the lot; he must have just eliminated someone.

Be that as it may, happy birthday to California Peggy!

I think you're onto something here...

Thanks!

:hug:

So I was!

It's a formidable group indeed!

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

Wouldn't it be interesting if the thoughts at the time of the picture could also be perceived and preserved. Each has a really different facial expression. Joe has a superior look. FDR looks like he's posing for a photo op. And Churchill, well, he looks resigned to accepting something distasteful, certainly not trying to look good for a photo op.

Happy Birthday CP!

:party:

That works too!

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

:D

From one artist to another...

I thank you!

:hug:

Remember, you're only as old as you feel. Age, like weight, is just a number (with certain perks).

Indeed, how right you are!

And today I feel very young!

Thank you, sweetie... :hug:

Awww...thanks, sweetie!

And the flowers and the cake! Wonderful! No calories and they will never fade or spoil!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

Happy Bday! You are only as old as you feel, so come on over and let me feel you and I will tell you how old you are :)

I thank you, you naughty boy, you!

There's life in me yet...and you too, by the looks of you!

:hug:

Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

at least you're still younger than Paul McCartney who's now 65 :)

Thanks for the lyrics, sweetie!

Yes, I'll always be a year younger than Paul McCartney....

But I'll never be a Beatle!:cry:

Just kidding!

I love being who I am all the time!

And I have high hopes for my year as well...

Thank you... :hug:

Hope you have a great day!

Thank you, and I am having a great day!

You look fantastic! But the body is just casing for the spirit/soul, the most important thing that I do believe, in one form or another, is eternal. And you've got a great soul!

I thank you so much!

I hope my soul will live forever...

I really want to see what happens next... :hug:

Thank you for the great smileys!

Hey, the other thread said you were 21 years old today. You mean, they weren't right?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7175668&mesg_id=7175668

Nope, they were off by several decades!

But that's OK...

The thought's the thing that matters!

Thanks...:hug:

64 in base-ten math equals 1000000 in base-two (binary) math!

:rofl:

If it's any consulation, I'm 11111 years old... :-)

And some days, I do feel that old!

Not today, though...

Thanks for consoling me!

:hug:

You deserve the happiest of birthdays. :hi:

I'm having a wonderful day!

However, getting drunk is NOT an option!

I did that once, long ago...and it cured me of ever wanting to do that again!

I will have a glass of wine with dinner, and that will be wonderful!

:hug:

Just wished you a Happy Birthday in another thread. But you're such a sweetheart, I'm sending more wonderful birthday wishes.

I saw that!

Thank you for that one, and for coming over here too, sweetie!

Great smiley!

HAPPY 59TH BIRTHDAY :party: :party: :party: :hi:




Through all the legends of ancient peoples—Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Semetic—runs the saga of the Eternel Man, the one who never dies, called by various names in various times, but historically known as Gilgamesh, the one who has never tasted death... the hero who strides through the centuries..."

Thanks, lol!

Can't ever go back, sweetie...

I love ya!

:hug:

Happy Birthday, anyway.

Yeah, I know I'm gonna love it!

My husband's already there...

And how did you know I LOVE Pogo?

My childhood staple!

Thank you!

One more year to Social Security...

One more year!

I am looking forward to it, indeed!

Thank you, sweetie...:hug:

Thanks...:hug:

Happy Birthday!

Yay!

Oh, yes, they will!

Thanks!

:hug:

Thank you for the beautiful card, sweetie! :hug:

I was just talking about that to a friend the other day: no matter how old any one of us is, most of us still feel like we're young'uns inside. Funny that you mention that Beatles song, since the remaining Beatles are also around that age right now too--the Beatles are your peers.

Have a good one. :thumbsup: :party: :yourock:

They are indeed my peers!

I was in college when they first came here to the USA!

Thanks!

:hug:

Happy Birthday!! :)

Indeed it does!

And may it continue to do so!

Thank you, sweetie!

:hug:

And in November of 1943, well you came along.


See, that is how it happened. It goes in chronological order, 1 - 64.


:hide:

Happy Birthday

Actually, it was probably March...

I was four weeks early!

But you're on the right track, lol!

Thanks!

:hug:

Man.

Here's to many, many more. :toast:

:hug:

Thank you, sweetie!

I'm hoping to live long too!

:hug:

And many more! :party:

Thanks, sweetie!

I hope so...

:hug:

Isn't getting older a kick in the pants? And isn't it crazy how, when we get above 45, we never really feel as old as we are, and how shocked we are that we are as old as we are. Makes me smile. :D

You still have the heart and spirit of a twenty-something, Peggy; carry on for many years to come, and God bless!

:hug: :hi:

It is a kick in the pants, indeed!

I love your good wishes, and thank you for them!

I have some catching up to do chronologically, but physically I'm probably older than even you! :rofl:

It is a great day, and I thank you!

I really doubt that you're older than I am in any sense of the word!

:hug:

May this trip around the sun be your best yet! :toast:

:bounce::hug::loveya::hug::bounce:

Aw, thank you, sweetie!

I'm thinking it'll count among the best yet!

We sang that very same Beatles song to her, too! :loveya:

I wish you every happiness and much abundance and love as you celebrate another year on the planet, Peggy.

I'm happy to know you and happier still knowing we're friends. :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Ah, you are too kind, sweetie!

This has been a wonderful day...

And it ain't over yet!

Thank you for the great smiley too...:hug:

I think that as a special birthday tribute to you, people reading this thread should post a YouTube link to one of their favorite "64 and over" performers, from any genre!

:-)



Ringo Starr in 2006.

Ringo's Wikipedia entry: "Richard Starkey Jr, MBE (born 7 July 1940), known by his stage name Ringo Starr..."

Thanks...:loveya: :hug:

It is well to remember this admonition, while you are still young:

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say 'I have no pleasure in them'; while the sun or the light or the moon, or the stars be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease, because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low. Also, when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets; or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

Happy Birthday, you young chick! :party:

Wow, that's fairly grim!

Young? ME?

Thanks, sweetie...

What is this quote from? I don't recognize it...

:hug:

Ecclesiastes 12:1,7

I didn't mean for it to be a downer.

It has always been an inspiration to me.

I have always felt young, so I feel it is important to remember my creator, while I'm young.

No matter what age.

I'm obviously not a Biblical scholar...

I can see how you'd see it as inspirational...

Remembering is always a good idea!

And, now...

Find out YOUR Past Life! :woohoo:
http://users.pandora.be/gad/re/engels.html
Day/Month/Year

Mine:
Am an old soul.... :P

Diagnosis:
I do not know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.

You were born somewhere around territory of modern West Russia approximately on 1400.

Your profession was handicraftsman, mechanic.

Your brief psychological profile in that past life:

Seeker of truth and wisdom. You could have seen your future lives. Others perceived you as an idealist illuminating path to future.

Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:

You fulfill your lesson by helping old folks and children. You came to that life to learn to care about weak and helpless.

Here's mine:

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.

You were born somewhere around territory of modern Wales approximately on 950.

Your profession was entertainer, musician, poet, temple-dancer.

Your brief psychological profile in that past life:

You always liked to travel, to investigate, could have been detective or spy.

Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:

Your lesson -- to conquer jealousy and anger in yourself and then in those, who will select you as their guide. You should understand that these weaknesses are caused by fear and self-regret.


I have often felt that I must have lived before....This is fascinating! Thanks, sweetie!


:hug:

Wow!
(except about being male...but maybe that is why you are such a strong female in this life.. :) )

And I knew I'd been male...

I visited a psychic many years ago...

She told me I'd been both sexes, and all over Europe and Asia...

Royal, too...

In positions of power...

She said I'd planned every life carefully, so I'd maximize what I learned...

And for this life?

She said I was here to have a family, which was something I hadn't done yet...

No prompting from me, either...

It was a pivotal moment, I tell you... :hug:

Your Medicare application is in the mail. :evilgrin:

God it does go by in a flash, doesn't it. (Looking at 65 this January)

Love you, too.

It has gone by in a flash!

You are too sweet...

Early congrats on your upcoming birthday!

:loveya:
