Seriously - THANKS, you guys! I’m totally printing this page and saving it with all my birthday cards. That’s how much of a sap I am.

P.S. I didn’t get carded today. But it was still a great day anyhow.

Mockarena, I am about your age, too, and I found it THRILLING to be carded about a month ago! I ran home and told my husband and called my mother. I once was talking to some co-workers when the Beach Boys “California Girls” came on the radio. Being the fogey that I am, I said, “The David Lee Roth version of this is pretty average”, and one guy said, “Who is David Lee Roth?”!!!!!! I almost fell out of my chair, because, like you, I considered these people my contemporaries! Then another one said, “Oh, he used to be the lead singer for Aerosmith, right?” Then, I started crying….

Mockie,

I was about to tell you to have a good one when I was reminded of the late, great George Carlin. His response to that was, “I HAVE a good one. I want a longer one.”

Now heed this advice from your elder (by at least five years) pal: Be careful, and if you can’t be careful, don’t get caught.

Seriously, have a great day!

Ok, first of all…Happy Birthday. Secondly, thanks a lot for telling the Melrose Place story. Jerk.

By the way, I also wasn’t allow to watch the Simpsons or 90210. My husband laughs at me because I now watch old shows of the Simpsons on Fox like they are brand new.

Now that I am officially the dorkiest person alive, just know that a) 80’s music and movies will always connect us thanks to my sisters who are your same age, b) what’s a 10 year difference when you are friends who think and act the same ways, and c) let’s go get some margaritas, huh? I’m sure we will BOTH be carded.

You know you are old when:

1) It takes every one of your invited guests to get all your candles blown out.

2) The smoke from the candles sets off the fire alarm.

3) It takes more than 1 box of candles to get the correct amount.

4) By the time they light the last candle, the first row has completely melted into the cake.

5) You tell them to hurry up with lighting the candles…you have to go to the bathroom again!

6) Your birth certificate is made of papyrus.

7) When you go out to dinner, and then you look at the check, you see that the Senior discount has automatically been deducted from the total.
When the news reports about all of John McCain’s aches and ailments, you find yourself nodding your head and saying “Yep, that’s right”.

Happy (early) Birthday Mock…

I am so glad a found a similar soul about the age thing. I too have my birthday in three days and I have to be about your age. I am in my (Hummm) thirty’s (upper) and do not feel it at all. I work with many 20 year olds who are way more mature than me and really know themselves and all I can think of is that in my 20s I was just grateful to get home without a hangover.

I just love that you wrote about your birthday/age thing. I can so relate!
I even lie on my facebook and myspace pages because I just don’t feel 36 (truth-didn’t lie to you guys). So I tell everyone I’m 30. Heck my 11 year old son is more mature than me. And like you Mock.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to get carded. except a few days ago. I just lost my license and wanted a mature drink and I had to ask my cousin who is 9 years younger than me to buy my mature drink because she didn’t get carded and I did so they wouldn’t sell it to me because I didn’t have a license. Okay, it wasn’t too bad it just proves I look good for my 30ish year old self!

Anywho, have a fantastic birthday tomorrow!!

I got hit on by my 26 year old boss the other day. We were at a co-workers party. I told him that I was 39 and he just kept saying “I can’t believe your 39!!” (I think he had a bit too much to drink).
Finally, I said to him “why the hell would I lie and tell you that I 39 if I wasn’t in fact 39!!” Who would make that up???

Anyway-Happy Birthday!! FYI-I love your website.
