Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOctober 29 - today's my birthday. I'm 72.
How the hell did that happen? Seems like only yesterday I was 71.................
I used to say that to my mother on every birthday (with different numbers, of course) and she would laugh every time. When I turned 25 she asked me "How does it feel to be a quarter of a century old?" and I said "How does it feel to have a daughter a quarter of a century old?"
I'm still here. I'm still kicking. I think it's going to be a great day! So, to celebrate, I wish you all a great day too!

70 is not so bad. As the crooked cop, Mel Bernstein, said to Tony Montana in Scarface: Every day above ground is a good day.

(102,778 posts)I had a nice day, turn over 249,000 miles on the vehicle, drove to Acadia NP (it was closed but you can drive the peninsula) and put my hands in the ocean, had some lobster and saw amazing foliage.

MIButterfly
(2,693 posts)I wish you the same. Have a great birthday and many more!
Wasn't it great to have a birthday so close to Halloween? First I got presents, ice cream and cake and then a couple of days later, I would go out and get free candy!

There used to be a commercial on TV many moons ago with a woman and cat dancing and the announcer would say "Why is this woman dancing with her cat?" and I'd turn to my cat at the time (my beloved Bootsy) and say "Why don't you ever dance with me?" Trouble is, I've forgotten what the commercial was for!

(35,176 posts)My 72 is swiftly coming in December. My mother has been gone forever, she just made 70. My father was not even 40. Bad genes but they are working for me, both my younger brothers are gone as well.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy it with some fun. Your mother sounds like a fun lady!

(2,693 posts)I'm going to meet a lifelong friend for lunch at our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. In fact, this friend is the one who introduced me to Middle Eastern cuisine in the first place. I see lemon chicken Tawook in my immediate future.
My mother was a hoot at times. She had a great sense of humor.

(35,176 posts)Enjoy yourself, that is so cool. We always go to our favorite Middle Eastern place, always. We raised our kids on it so we all now love it more than anything.
Great plans you have, I have a big happy smile on my face so again
the 70's are not bad at all!
