bets on what will happen in Iraq when the fake handover occurs? I've heard that the Kurds are grabbing as much territory as they can, claiming it as ancestral land. Oh joy, here we go!

1. Happy 50th, youngster!
I can tell you that life gets really interesting after 50. As for the world situation, hang onto your hat. I figure the Iraq mess will help bring down Bush, but I feel sorry for the people over there who are in the midst of it all.

2. Happy Birthday, fellow Cancerian!
The takeover will be a cluster f***, just like everything else the morons in power touch. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

My birthday is coming up this Friday (I'll be 38). Yes, Michael Moore planned to release "Fahrenheit 9/11" on the 25th as a gigantic gift to me.

OK, so it's also George Orwell's birthday, and MM doesn't know me from Adam. But a gal can dream, right?

Enjoy your day--you're truly as young as you feel!

:party:

3. Congratulations
I'm much older than that, and my life changed radically for the better at 50. The best is yet to come.

5. Live it up !
My B-day is the 30th too! My 49th.
And it's my retirement day - woo-wee.

Taking the rest of the year off to celebrate.
Time to do a little traveling...on my own schedule.
Life is good!

8. Spoken like a true...
Moon Child - we deserve all the good the world can offer.
It's the rest of the world I worry about.

6. Thank you everyone!
I'm at the 'if I knew what I do now then' stage but the good thing is I've finally learned to pick my fights! As much as I hate bunnypants my birthday wish for Iraq is a transition that brings peace, prosperity and freedom to the Iraqi people. Won't get it but I can dream.

9. Welcome
and happy birthday!!! I turned 50 last December. It is wonderful. We are also retired and our youngest is going off to the university in August so we are getting ready for the rest of our lives. 50, so far, is really good.
