I am now officially 72 years old. I still don’t know what I want to be when (Or if) I grow up. ---

Never grow up! Happy Birthday Louis. 72 ain’t too shabby, but let’s aim for 100 at least. ---

Happy Birthday! There was a time when I thought 72 was pretty old. But the closer I get to it, the younger it seems! 😃 ---

Happy birthday to you both! Hopefully you get to indulge in something you normally wouldn’t, just so you can feel special. Question for **LouisB** : do you celebrate your birthday? Even with something as simple as a family dinner or something? I love birthdays, and I know a lot of people don’t celebrate them very much when they get older, but I always hope for a little something to make you feel good on your birthday. ---

That’s a lot of spankings, **LouisB**. Perhaps we should spread the celebration out over a couple days. Or we can skip the one to grow on. ---

Happy birthday to you You live in a shoe You look like a monkey and you smell like one too! The worst part of this present is the fact that I’ve never met a tune I couldn’t torture. Happy birthday\*\* LB and silenus\*\*. ---

I’ll share something that someone told me on my birthday. Forget the past, it’s just an illusion. Forget the future, because it hasn’t happened yet. And forget the present, I didn’t get you one. ---

> [@LouisB](#): > > I am now officially 72 years old. I still don’t know what I want to be when (Or if) I grow up. Oh, NO! I was hoping you got told this when you turned 40. I used to think it was at 35, but now that I’m 37 I know that isn’t true. I have to wait till I’m 75 until they tell me this? Anyway, Happy Birthday!
