Damn it, **Cid** , I’m gonna get you. Yes, it’s me; I’m 50 today. [May 22](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_22) is not one of the more exciting days in history. ---

[QUOTE=Frank] In order to set the proper tone right off the bat, I took the day off work today. [/QUOTE] What were you forced to do around the house? 😉 Do you feel that this is a milestone? My mom says after turning 40 that she realized she didn’t have to give a shit what other people thought anymore…1.5 years to go for me. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=gigi] Do you feel that this is a milestone? [/QUOTE] Honestly, no. Milestones are things like getting married or divorced, moving to Canada, learning not to care what shallow people think about unimportant stuff, that sort of thing. A birthday, though I do take note of it and celebrate it, is just another year on Earth. That it’s my 50th gives me an excuse to make fun of myself. 🙂 ---

Old? You’re still young. Only halfway through your life. You’re still expected to be on the SDMB volunteer roll for another 25. But seriously, happy birthday, **Frank**. I hope it’s a great one. ---
