We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it. ~ author unknownThanks to modern medical advances such as antibiotics, nasal spray, and Diet Coke, it has become routine for people in the civilized world to pass the age of 40, sometimes more than once. ~Dave Barry
Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternative. ~ Maurice Chevalier
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. - Lucille Ball
It's not the birthdays I mind so much; it's the getting older. ~ Genny Holmes

I agree. So happy birthday, and remember, you're only as old as you feel. Right?
Oh dear, Barb. I hope I'm not as old as I feel today. But I definitely agree it's not the birthdays that are the problem. And you will all always be younger than me. Does that make anyone feel better?
And all that aside, I hope you are having a Happy Birthday, Genny.
I think it's "You're only as old as you acknowledge," isn't it? I've routinely said in the last 2 months, "I just had my last birthday!" :-)
Aw, Genny, you may be getting older, but you're definitely getting better. Happy Birthday, dear! :-)

Happy Birthday!
Sharon, I tried to quit having birthdays two years ago, but for some reason they keep coming around every 365 days. I guess it is better than the alternative though.
In spite of the aging thing, I did have a wonderful birthday yesterday, thanks to my family and friends. I received many great gifts and have eaten some delicious meals. Thank you all for making my day special.
I say bring it on. I slave in the kitchen cooking the kids favorite meal and dessert. I am ready for someone to acknowledge my birthday and cook for me! I have teenagers I have to be at least a certain age or I deal with too many questions :)
Yesterday was Patricia's spiritual birthday.
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Genny. Happy Birthday to you! (Said in a sing song voice)
Okay - I have no idea why the related search comes up with bugs. That's so weird!
