Turning 50, any tips?

Well, it was always going to happen.
About to pass a half century and unsure how to feel about it.
Positive for the most part, well I can't wind the clock back.
See how the hangover is and go from there

Us oldies say it’s harder to walk once you hit 50 onwards, i don’t know why they say that,
Because its down hill all the way from 50 Happy birthday in advance lol

Pay all debts. Get a cabin in the mountains. Eat more fiber.

Take your vitamins and don’t forget to drink your ovaltine.

I remember my parents looking aver the local obituary notices and remarking occasiionally "HE was young. He was only sixty-three!" Everything is relative.

My old aunt used to always annoy me at weddings by coming and prodding me in the chest and saying "It's your turn next".

I got her back, though, I did it to her one day........at a funeral!!!

You are now allowed to think and use the word " wisdom ", but be careful to whom you wish to share share your wisdom with.

You're as old as you feel.

Happy Birthday!

a reply to: Cymru

Well you seem to have made it this far, must be doing something right.

Im 46 this year Cymru, kind of wondering where all the time went myself.

Happy Birthday when it materialises, and i wish you many more to come.

Tell you one thing through as we get older the hangovers become bolder.

Top tip on the Tuneage

Sadly the secret is out.

Happy 50th banner and balloons all over the Office. Bugger.

I left the two bottles of Whisky and one of Voda out of shot lol.

You know you're pushing the boat out when people start putting years young instead of years old on birthday cards.

Happy Birthday...50 Years Young!

My mother sent me a card like that once. Obviously I was meant to think 'years young not years old? That must mean I'm young!'

Bah.

Congrats from North Wales Bro.
Im not far behind at 46-although I still feel(and behave)like a teenager most of the time.

Funny how age really is relative-I used to think 40 was old until it hit and I was still partying harder than the young uns from the lightweight generation.That made me feel young.

Bloody kids these days!
They just don't know how to raise hell properly.
Back in my day blah blah etc etc..

Don't let a number get in your head and start thinking "I'm too old for this ".
I know a guy who is 81 and still takes his wife out to dance every weekend. Not slow, ballroom type, they go Country line dancing.
I've seen him do it and he's better than most young people on the dance floor.

Oh...one other thing. 50 seems to be a magical number that creates junk mail. If you haven't already, you're gonna start getting loads of mail from AARP, ads for Viagra, Hair Replacement Therapy, Diabetes, Colonoscopy etc. If you save them for a months they make a great bonfire starter.

[ I'll be 57 in a couple months ]

Don't procrastinate. Time changes, and it moves super fast from now on. If you think it, do it.
And buy Alieve, lots of it. And for the love of God, don't get fat! Being old is hard enough, but being old and fat, has it's own unique set of challenges. Good luck, and learn to really, really enjoy nap time.

I've had a ton of my residents tell me... "Don't get old"

as if you can avoid it some how...

Lets just say you're half way home

good luck

a reply to: Cymru

At least you have an office.

I've spent the morning tidying up hedge cuttings and taking them to the local dump.

Yeah, "partying" sure changes as you get older.

I spoke to DB and his advice was, "Get a colonoscopy and enjoy eating dinner now at 4:30".
