On turning forty - just wanted to say thanks.

Well, who would have thought it, I actually made it to forty.
Ten years ago I thought I wouldn't make it to 32.

It's been quite a few years here on ATS, and I just wanted to say thanks to the site and everybody I've encountered.

May you all be blessed and here's to the next 40 years!

I've made it half the way to 80, so I'm now truly a half old man.

Not even that long ago, this would have been about the end of your journey...but today it might be just halfway.

Thanks.
Passed the doom porn, and the doctoral diagnoses that were incorrect and uninformed.
Pretty much the same, I guess.

Yeah, and to think, I still have all my teeth!

Now, if you want to live a little longer, take my advice...I say take my advice,

I say, say ... those three American speaking peacocks are sure entertaining.

Joke.
Thanks for the laughs and the wishes.

The 40 thing is SO last decade...

Been there, done that... old hat, down pat.

But on a high note, I'll likely die before you, too...

Been there, done that. LOL

Oh dear, I'm a decade too late for forty?
Oh well, something to look forward when I turn ninety.

The first half is babies and weddings. The second half is divorces and funerals.

Welcome to the club!

If only my tobacco grinder (coff, coff) would stop squeaking like a mouse.

The party's over, and now I'm on the other side of the big "40".
I feared it so much, but surprisingly I didn't turn into an old crone overnight.
Maybe that happens at 45?
Anyway, thanks for all the stars and responses.
This community has been very dear to me.

Hooray OP!

~10 more years until living is officially pointless.

to the end!
