Just dawned on many of my friends/ex-friends and peer group will be going past a 'significant' milestone over the next few months or have already past it over the last couple of months.  Namely turning 50 years old ! ! ! ! !  :gasp:

So are these 'important' birthdays actually momentous to you or do they pass you by ?

Are they occasions to look back on your life, reflex on the future ?

Did any of the other significant dates, like turning 16,18,21 or 40 have any meaning for you ?

Are there any in the future that you dread ?

I've had a really tough time enjoying being a layabout since turning 30.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I expect that at 40, I will simply dissolve back into the earth.  Maybe 35.

The beauty is that while I get older old people remain the same age. :cool:

With the amount of toxic crap you put in your body? Please. We'll have to scoop you into a landfill.

Good point.  I'm eating a bag of Fritos right now.  My grave will be like Carthage after the Romans.

It will be more like a tire fire on the edge of the wrong side of town.

When I hit 50 I am going to have sex several times.

In the same day.

I hope.

It's overrated. The sex several times in a day, not the 50 part.

18, 21, 30, 40, and 50 were all significant.
