...was the same as going to bed at 49 last night.

Kind of thought there’d be a big ass parade or something outside, but nope.

Luckily, the Mrs. allowed me to fulfill that midlife crisis...by getting a minivan!!! Cool

Hey, I’m only 38, but my Cherokee is in the shop for a new CV boot and rear axle bearing. The dealer gave me a Pacifica for a loaner.

I like the cup holders.

Welcome to the 50's. I remember when I thought 30 was over the hill.

Happy birthday. 50 is hard, you'll be fine. I know because I passed it about 12 years ago.

Happy Birthday!

Your thread had me thinking back to my 50th. Arrived at work to find a walker planted in my parking space. Opened the door to my office to find it jammed with balloons. The pranks continued all morning. Figured I'd be able to escape at lunch with a per-scheduled meeting with a friend. Ever cautious I scoped out the restaurant parking lot and didn't see any familiar cars. Went inside to find damned near the entire office there. They had parked down the street. The local "cookie lady" had been hired to show up. She was dressed in a French Maid's costume and was quite hot. Sat on my lap and sang "Happy Birthday" in French. All this because I had once (or maybe twice) joked that I needed a French Maid to "help" around the house. Smile There was a lot more that day and I was gifted with a VCR tape of the highlights. Fun and very enjoyable! Big Grin
