(26,877 posts)I was born in '65... sooooo, I will be 65 in 2030. And then, I will be able to make the same claim. Of course, by then the USA will be the CSA (Corporate States of A-Richfucks), but I will still be alive... but poorer. But, hey! Being alive is enough!
Oh wait... Letter from my Dr via my Patient Portal. Subject line says, "You poor bastard..." Oh, that can't be good...
All kidding aside, Happy Birthday!

BTW, I'm 65 and can't way for SS. I saw my attitude change once I hit 64. Boy, do I really need this shit for a couple of percentage points? So far yes, but I'll walk in a heartbeat if things continue on their present course.

(55,745 posts)Here's something all the way from Mars, ca. 1972:
CLICK!
by Gahan Wilson
PHIL: This first slide here shows Madge and Bill standing right there in front of the New York Space Authority building, ready to start our trip. You can tell it was a pretty nice day on account they're not wearing any protective clothing except for goggles and a mask. The old guy got hit by our taxithat was some wild driver we hadand the kid's playing a trick on him. Cute, hah?
MADGE: If he hadn't of done it someone else would of. CLICK.
PHIL: Now this here was some lucky shot. I was going to take a picture of Billy there, when this guy steps on the Hijacker Sentinel and pow, huh? What I mean is it really got him good. I asked why it done it and they said it was on account of he looked suspicious and if you study the expression on his face you can see how they got to wondering about him.
MADGE: It turned out he didn't have no gun or bomb or anything.
PHIL: Look, all they can do is the best they can and I'm glad they got those things up there protecting us, anyways. CLICK.
PHIL: Well then, after we got settled in our cabin and the ship took off and all, we went up to the observation lounge and I mean they had the place really fixed up swell. No less than sixteen TV sets all going at the same time, each on a different station, of course, and a bar and every kind of a slot machine and game like that you could wish for. Back there through that window you could see the universe out there if you wanted.
MADGE: I won a whole lot of credit at the Lucky Astronaut game but lost it all on the Zodiac Wheel. CLICK.
PHIL: Just a day out from Mars they announced everybody had to come and see the indoctrination lecture, and I hadn't been looking forward to that. It was something those stiffs at the United Nations had whipped up to teach you all about the Martians' customs and way of life and even their goddamn religion, for Christ's sake. But then I saw it was our social director, Earl, going to do it, and I relaxed right off.
MADGE: That Earl!
PHIL: You see, those UN creeps had given Earl a whole bunch of pictures and graphs and stuff he was supposed to teach us with, and I guess they'd bust a gut if they ever saw what he done with them. Here he is pretending to explain the sex life of a Martian; can you beat it? Only they don't have no sex life on account of they haven't had any babies in thousands of years. He sure had us all laughing. CLICK.
PHIL: Right at the space port they got these weird Martians trying to sell you pots and statues and stuff. Nothing but a lot of junk, if you ask me. Anyhow I was taking a picture of one of them when Billy did this here. It's a good thing those Martians can't talk or this one here would have really given the kid a couple of bad words I bet you.
MADGE: It's not that they can't talk, it's that they've taken an oath of silence. Don't you remember the joke Earl made on that, honey?
PHIL: Well, anyhow, the way that stuff broke up, he had a nerve trying to sell it. CLICK.
