    Happy Birthday! I hit 50 not that long ago, and I'll be honest. It was pretty traumatic. So give yourself an extra dose of comfort pen this evening. (Well, it's already the middle of the night now to you, isn't it? In New Zealand? And just what are you doing up so late, young man??) Glad you're here!

    I was 60 last month, so 50 is just a spring chicken to me, many happy returns and you're not a leech, not everyone feels the need to comment on everything, please don't be so down on yourself

    Many happy returns!! Only 50? Such a kid. I've lived in 3 different states since my 50th, and now 67 is pretty cool! I'm in my Prime... number! [Hey, I get free sodas with my tacos or burgers. Beat that, kiddies!]

    I feel the same way. Then again, I suppose we can be pleased we are still here. Not all are so fortunate.

    I shall now have a hot cross bun to celebrate.
