12Good News!
It’s officially my birthday!
I’m 21 and it feels pretty good.
Bad News!
I missed a Meh-rathon a while ago.
Good News
It does make a rather nice space on my Meh calendar, Very nice!
What does that have to do with my birthday today? Nothing. I just wanted an extra bit of good news at the start.

/giphy Happy birthday Doctor.
I wrote 21. That is wrong. I’m 22.
@DoctorOW well that’s much less exciting. Lol. Only 21 and 25 count once you’re an adult
@unksol Don’t I know it. I saw this coming in a way but didn’t realize how much less I would care about it
@DoctorOW you’ll get used to it… Eventually you’ll get to the point where “a decade ago” enters your vocabulary… And then you hear yourself say it… and start doing math. And freak out a little.
@DoctorOW And the memory issues are appearing already. Now you need to make excuses.

@DoctorOW @unksol
Why does 25 count?
@DoctorOW @DrWorm you could not rent a car till you were 25 or there were a bunch of restrictions. Which… I prefer to drive my old cars but. If you wanted or needed to fly across country and rent a car for an interview or something… Annoying…
Idk if it’s changed since then but here is enterprise 21-24 penalty.

@DoctorOW @DrWorm so 25 is the age everyone stops fucking with you based on age across the board
@DoctorOW @unksol Oh yeah, I remember that huge “now I can rent a car” party when I turned 25.
On the flip-side, 26 is the age that you can no longer be carried on a parent’s health insurance. For some, that could be a more significant milestone, but in a negative way.
@DoctorOW @DrWormn never a party just the final check box. yea 26 is a new one that did not exist back then… Might not exist in 5 years. Have to see how the next 4 years goes.
Happy Birthday!
You’re obviously lying about your age.
No one is that young.
No one has ever been that young
It’s not possible to be that young.
Grrrrr.
Aside from that:.
/giphy happy fucking birthday
@f00l I do feel like I’m younger than the average Meh user. I make up for it by having the opinions and personality of an old man.
@DoctorOW
I’ll smile when young, healthy, energetic you yells at me to get off your lawn.
: )
@DoctorOW @f00l Or perhaps what you imagine an old man to be. I am an old man now and it is quite different than what I imagined when I was your age.

Happy birthday. I’m at an age where I have to think about it, too.
Prolly for different reasons.
Hope you have a good one.
Man. Twenty-two years old. Two thirds of my life ago. Enjoy it.
@lisaviolet That still makes you young!! In my mind I’m still young but I got married 4 months before @DoctorOW was born so now I need to rethink things . I assume there are other Mehmbers who would still call me a young whippersnapper.
Happy birthday!
