Well never thought I'd make it but the 65th came up today. Have no idea where the time has gone as I can rember working 30 years ago and saying"another 35 years and I can collect my Social Security". Well my first check is to arrive Jan. 14th so I guess i can now call my self and old timer:CRY::CRY:
Happy Birthday! and congratulations on the milestone... you're only as old as you feel at heart...
-Chris
looking at 38.8 on the outside temp gauge! But it is sunny!
Happy B-Day,
Okay Bart.............why did they name it dirt anyway!!!:D
You must have some pull at the SS dept. My birthday was almost a month ago and they tell me I won't see the first check til about this time NEXT month.
Happy Birthday ya old fart!!!!! Another milestone on the old body clock----still remember when 40 seemed over the hill???????:LOL::LOL::LOL:
Happy Birthday! Not sure how the temp response landed on your birthday, must be losing it! Happy retirement too! Actually I read the hit 65 today and thought it was a temperature post. Before I read the thread got called to help with the Christmas tree disposal, then came back and typed in the local temp! Now I know I'm losing it!:DQuote:

Happy Birthday chevy37 and have a great day.
Congratulations, I think!!! 65 HUUUUM man now thats a number. Its getting damn close for me as well. You know this aging thing is really kind of funny when you think about it. I will be 64 this year but in truth I don't think I feel all that different "INSIDE" oh I have the genereal pains and such, after 30 years in the Corps some parts seem to need a little more time to get the blood to pumping than others but all in all I wonder were the years went. The one big surprise every morning is when I look in the mirror and wonder just who in the hell is that Old Man looking back at me.
Have a good day man and don't look in that mirror--- At Least not today.

Thanks Guys. Dave, yes I do have some pull in the SS Dept. as my sister in law works there. Get my check 4 days after turning 65. Roland, I know what you mean. Where I screwed up my body even though I was only in my early to mid 20's was boxing. I boxed for two and a half yearsprofessionally and did my shoulders and hands some damage that never recovered. Then on top of that bad back, knees etc. but as the say ing goes,"I'm still here and doing what i've done all my life" so that ain't to bad at all. My grandmother lived to 101, my grandfather 91, and my Mom just turned 90 so maybe the saying that you inherit your genes from your family members must have some truth behind it.:)
Happy 65th to you. :):) It's just a number, I remember a time in my life when I thought 40 was old. My 30th was my most depressing because I was no longer "young."
George Burns summed it up. Someone once said to him "Who the h*** would want to live to be 100??" His answer " A guy who is 99." :LOL::LOL:
Have a piece of cake for us, Happy Birthday.
Don
Congrats! I'm not quite there yet but already thinking about walking away from the daily grind to have another daily grind of my own choosing! Hope you enjoy your time.
I'll be 71 in April and it seems like yesterday that I was 65.Time waits for no one.
Have a nice Birthday and welcome to the over the hill gang.
Happy Birthday Bart---and many more!!!---Brian
Happy birthday! 65 is not old. you are just 30 with 35 years of experience.:D
Barb. Now I like that reasoning. Have to keep that in mind.:)
Happy birthday! I have lost so many friends when they were young, that I see each new year, tacked onto a person's age, as a victory!
I agree with most of the posts here. I look in the mirror, or think about the number, and say it's not possible....because I am not ready to be old yet. I make up my mind to only be old on my last day, but be young on all of the others.....then I get busy, and instantly lose 20 or 30 years! :-)
Stay busy!
Congratulations - on the latest anniversary of your 39th birthday:LOL::LOL:. I recall when I reached that milestone - I just got up and went to work like any other day and ignored the date until my LL met me at the door .............. uhhhhh..... oops, more information then you really need to have :eek::D
Regardless, I hope you had a good day - and the SS checks will arrive on schedule
Like I have heard many times.Quote:

Happy birthday
I'm only 63, but recently while trying to get up off the floor, one of the younger guys ask me if old age had sneaked up on me. I said " NO, it came crashing through the door hollering "here I am an I'm gonna kick your a@@". Then it proceeded to do just that."
To many years of being beat up by heavy equipment and trucks.
A belated happy Birthday wish to you and may you have many more.
Happy Birthday (belated)! You're half way there.
Congrats Chevy37...on the birthday and on getting the Soc Sec. One thing about the Soc Sec; the check always comes on time and there will be only one layoff in the future. Hope it comes a long time from now for you!
Happy Birthday Buddy! Hope you have many more.
Happy Birthday!!! You must have real pull with the feds. I turned 65 last month and was told that I had to go with that Medicare fiasco but won't get on social security until next year. Again, have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday. Now you can cash in on some of those freebees
Ain't it great to turn old. Spend the morning waterproffing my basement and could only work 4 hrs. because of my back. My mind says I can still do what I did 30 years ago, but my body is saying,"sorry, but your an old man now":(
Happy Birthday sir ............. I'm sneaking up on you :HMMM::HMMM:
A belated Happy Birthday to you. I hope you had a glorious one. You are only 2.5 years ahead of me. Hope you don't mind my not exerting myself to catch up with you. :LOL::LOL:
Old Coyote;338716]Happy Birthday sir ............. I'm sneaking up on you :HMMM::HMMM:
Yes you are but I can truthfully say you'll never catch me:LOL:
Another great thread...
I am continually amazed at how many people in this wonderful country have the mistaken idea that somewhere between 55 and 60 people become "obsolete".. I want to peak when I'm 85! I think the best years are those I'm living right now.
Sure, there's a few things that I may not do as well as I did when I was 19 or 20 (some I probably should not of done even then!), but for the most part I enjoy every day as a great gift and want to continue to contribute accordingly.
Like all of us on this site, I've had my share of bad days and a few rotten hands dealt my way, but I refuse to go to the lowest common denominator, rather, like Chevy37 - I'm gonna just "keep on keepin' on!"
Congratulations on another milestone! Lord willin' there will be lots more!
Regards,
Glenn
Happy late birthday!! So since im only 33 does that make you twice as smart as me?
65 is not old, my neighbor is 75 and he works harder than most 20 year olds! Plus he always has an answer to most ?`s.
Happy Birthday, have a great day. I hit the big 65 a few months back. I remember somebody saying who would want to be 65, and I mentioned most of the people who are 64!
Bob
Happy Birthday!
was hoping to retire myself in 10 years but our 401k's lost about $15,000
in the last quarter of last year.
Good Luck!
