Yesterday, I was 54. Today, I’m 55. I don’t see it as a big milestone, but it’s the first birthday since my 12th to make a difference in the price I pay for stuff.
I went to Miller’s Bar for lunch, and two friends shook my hand, swearing I don’t look that old (God bless 'em! :rolleyes: ) and one bought me a beer. I also had a drink, which was on the house. My dear wife is going to bake me a peach pie. 
Happy birthday, old man!
twicks, who won’t qualify for AARP membership for three months and eight days.
Well, Happy Birthday!!!
My 55th was significant for the same reason - some discounts begin at 55. Think of me with one bite of your pie — peach is my favorite.
“You say it’s your birthday,
Well it’s my birthday, too, yeah!”
I’m 41 today. Still got a ways to go before I hit the next demographic bracket.
Happy birthday!
Hey, Happy Birthday, AskNott! 55 isn’t old. Hell, you’re not even drawing Social Security yet!
Conratulations! I’ll be along in eight months or so.
My husband is the geezer in our family. Take advantage of the geezer discount at the movies and at I-HOP. It’s little consolation for being old and decrepit, but hey…it’s all you’ve got going right now.
You’ll find that people forgive naps more easily, as well. Go ahead! Lay your head down on your desk and commence sawing a log!
Well, I turned 22 today. You’re old enough to be my father (seriously, my dad just turned 55 a couple days ago.) So how does that make you feel? Older?
Oops, I meant 56.
With age comes knowledge and the ability to count.
Happy birthday, AskNott. So what are you going to do with the second half of your life?
AskNott for whom the birthday bells toll
They toll for him.
Sorry, couldn’t resist…plus I know it is going to be a pain in the butt to read this really fine print because you are going to have to put your glasses on…hope it was a good one, enjoy the Happy Birthday peach pie!
Hey, Happy Birthday, AskNott!
It’s my birthday too, but I’m only 49. 
happy birthday!
I’ll be 30 on my next one…suddenly, I feel like a baby next to y’all.
Wishing you a good day, a good year and a good life.
Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you
And according to George Carlin you didn’t “turn” 55, you “reached” it.
“…you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50, MAKE it to 60 HIT 70.”
Happy Birthday!
I’m always glad when I see someone older than me on this board; I don’t turn 55 until 2006!
I liked the Carlin thing, but it was never that way for me. Some folks do black balloons and dead flowers for 40 and 50, but I’ve never had that over-the-hill feeling.
Before Mrs. Nott started the peach pie, I found the Weebl & Bob Pie loop for her. (I just Googled Weebl Bob Pie) She’d never seen it, and she liked it. Mmmmmmm, pie!
I’ve never had the “over the hill” feeling either and I “pushed” 40 a few years ago. I’m thinking that as I age, that hill is always just as far away and I’ll never reach it which of course is fine by me.
Back when I my age was a single digit, I recall thinking 30 was pretty damn old and over the hill.
Happy birthday, Mr. AskNott, sir!
I hope you have some 'nilla ice cream for your pie unless you’re lactose intolerant like most old farts. j/k
