[QUOTE=labtrash] YOU feel old? Meh. I turned 40 today. Get off my lawn, kid! Happy Birthday (to us) ! [/QUOTE] Hey, birthday twin! After judicious application of frou-frou coffee drinks and cosseting, I am feeling pretty damn good about this whole birthday deal. ---

Yanno how birds look quizzically at things with a single eye? That’s me looking at my age. 50. How’d that happen? But I agree with **outlierrn** : it’s just a number. I know people in their late 70s who are far more vibrant than others who are much younger. Happy Birthday! ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] So did I, until I remembered that my brother turns 20 at the end of the year. Didn’t he just start high school or something? [/QUOTE] That’s alright. Last time I checked my brother was just starting university (he’s ten years older). Now he’s got a wife, two daughters, a paunch, and no hair. I’d just like you all to note the Carly Simon ringtones available from the bottom of this page. Ought to be right up your alley. 😛 ---

I’ve been 29 for a little over nine months now. It’s been the most brutal three quarters of a year ever. Stressing about turning 30 is a full time job! ---

No matter how old I get, I’ll always be younger than my brothers and sisters, and I’ll never let them forget it. I’m 27. Soon I plan on only giving my age as ‘the youngest’. ---

If it makes you feel any better, a couple of days ago I told a kid to get off my lawn. I never understood what the big deal was until I actually owned one. It’s _my_ lawn, dammit, go buy your own. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-didnt-feel-old/442931.md?page=1)
