As I woke up this morning, I remembered that I have now officially crossed over the 1/2 century mark. Welcome to 50 Tractor, now where did I put those Tylenol...

I keep forgetting that I crossed over. How did this happen? I think I missed a few years.

Welcome to the half-century club ......... I joined 28 years ago. My body feels it at times but my mind says 'no way am I that old' I look at my daughter, who will be 58 tomorrow, and her high school friends. All of these kids are grandparents. When did that happen? Happy birthday ........ it's just a number ............

“You are as old/young as you feel” or something like that! 50 is just a number and I’m not willing to let it dictate my life.😂

I was always more bothered by the x1 birthdays. Like everyone made a big deal about being 50, but when I turned 51 it was like “oh crap I’m now in my 50s”

I can still recall the phone conversation I had with my dad on his 72nd birthday. I asked him if he ever thought he would reach the age of 72. Dad laughed and said no.
I am now less than four years away from turning 72. I laugh about it.

I gave up worrying about it after DH died. My affairs are in order. If I go, I go. If I don’t, I don’t.

Off to google! Ghost Whisperer was the correct name of the show you were thinking of. But that was fiction. John Edwards was tricking people in reality.

I am an avid recycler and as a result, though born in the same year as Tennesseer , I am only 39yo and a looooooooong way from crossing over I'm guessing this was the male equivalent of you when you were figuring out your age. But I did celebrate this year the 29th anniversary of my 39th birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday! I reached the 40-year mark this month. As I'm female, this means I can no longer lose weight.

Happy Belated Birthday, Tractor!! Welcome to The Other Side. 😂
I’m turning 60(!!!!!) in a bit. 60 is bothering me far more than 30/40/50 so it will be the 31st anniversary of my 29th birthday instead. I’m hoping I’ve got 40 more HEALTHY years to go. I’ve always been responsible, made good choices, did the “right” thing. And I lost the last 25 years to raising kids. I want to spend the next 25 being irresponsible and breaking rules. Time to have fun, as long as my mind and body allow. Bloodwork is fabulous, joints ache, can’t drink like I used to, broke from paying college tuition x 2, but look out world!! 😈

And the answer to your math problem is 13 btw
