- @Pantheist It took me three reloads to get even a gif that geezers would enjoy, much less relevant.

Happy Birthday!

The universe just has a bad attitude about some things. I could never get the universe to stop with the birthdays already. I was marginalized and ignored. ; (

Happy birthday! The 40’s are great. You have more money to do what you want and care less about what others think! Enjoy the ride!

I see, just an exploitative thread in order to force others into providing well wishes.

Okay, it worked. Happy Birthday @ConAndLibrarian!

Food for thought:
The time that has elapsed since Nirvana’s first album “Bleach” (28 years) is greater than the time between the Beatles debut album and Nirvana’s debut.

  I bet doing that makes you a little less cranky for a while.

Not really even middle age yet. I don’t think you have to worry until you start to see trespassers on your lawn.

These should help:

Have a great year!

  I was kinda putting one on there a bit, for the joke.
  
  It’s not so bad for many of us. You actually feel better. Things fall into place some.
  
  OTOH, looking in the mirror will never be the same. ; )
