12 More Days
I will be 50 years old in 12 days (July 2). so are you guys going to send me a partridge in a pear tree, or what?

I already got my red hat. I will be inducted into the Red Hat Club—women who face their second half century with zest, zim, vigor and vitality!
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

Best wishes on the upcoming festive.

Screw everyone else, take yourself out for a good pampering.

It'll be alright. I turned fifty three years ago and the sky didn't fall. It's just a number.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I will be 49 this October and I don't know how I feel about it. Physically, I feel really good but it is weird to think that I will be 50 next year

I'm three years away and looking forward to it. Imagine making it to the halfway point!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I'm afraid I don't deal with aging well. It was turning forty that really got to me. By the time I turned fifty, I was resigned to being an old fart - and I don't like it. Oh, well; what can I do?

I have to turn 40 before I start concerning myself with turning 50.

I'll turn 50 in a year-and-a-half and couldn't care less. It's just a number. I hope you have a fun-filled birthday.
