Default Help - Odometer turning too fast!

Rolled over to the Big 4-0 today! And I don't feel a day over 50.

Reading glasses will soon follow. Exactly 36 days from turning 40. It's a fact!

I turn the big 4-0 on April 21st.

So on that day I'll be 40, short, bald and driving a Porsche. A living embodiment of the stereotype.

I turn Forty next year, but as the old saying goes,

You are only as old as the woman you feel..

So if your not married you can feel what ever age you want

Turned 40 last Nov. and my wife insisted I go out and get my dream car (993). No reading glasses yet either, so it's been all good so far.

Welcome to the club. I'll second the reading glasses.

Turned 41 last year & bought the 993 five days later. Delayed middle-age crazy.

My body feels about 35 but my mind feels more like 12.

Mere children, all of you! I turned 62 last month.

Not long ago I walked into the Faculty lounge at the university where I teach and there was a prof sitting there with the saddest look on his face. I asked what was wrong and he replied, "You know you're getting old when you see a cute female student on campus and you immediately wonder what her mother looks like!"

In my case, it's that I wonder what her grandmother looks like!

Hilarious!!! I hit the big 41 in January... I'm not worried about it... I'll never let anyone inject poison in my face to make me look younger. Most young girls can't even drive a manual!

I have to say 40-something is all good but I have to agree on the reading glasses. I had to get them the beginning of the year and it sucks.....But at least I have all the Hair on my Head.
