Hallo Jacqueny! Welcome to the Cellar....pull up a crate and take a seat...hang on, not there, if you sit there the leaking water will drip down your neck. yeah just there....comfy? cool.

Ahahahah. I am 35 next Friday:) I am totally median.

46 years young.

New guy here from Savannah Georgia.

Hi new guy from Georgia:) , mad old bat from England here, which brings me neatly to the point. I think.

60 this year, July 13th and a Friday, good excuse for a long weekend except for the Friday 13th bit:worried: Anyway, my nieces & nephews & godkids etc had planned to send me wingwalking to celebrate but the Utterly Butterly, a truly beautiful yellow biplane has changed hands and is now in the possession of a French cosmetic company and they aren't allowing odd bods to walk the wings just to celebrate birthdays and such, which is a bit mean. Booo to the French for that.

My dilemma now is what to do to celebrate. The kids sent me up in a balloon on my 55th, Orient Express at 50, but what next...? Any ideas? What do other people/cultures do to mark these important ages? July 13th is the day before Bastille so a day in Paris might be amusing, Bastille is just an excuse for a street party but very French... so any ideas or thoughts would be welcome.

DON'T GO HERE!

:eek: :) We have the same birthday!

Pretty safe to promise I won't - but why 'specially?

The Merc and I have the same birfday!! That's so cool:)

Someone said early on in this thread that the average age here at The Cellar seems to be higher than many 'Net fora, and I think that's true. At least for me, since I tend to spend so much of my time on piercing and bodymod-related sites, where the average age sometimes seems to get stuck at around 14, it's quite refreshing.

For this old gal, anyway.

Welcome.

Love the dissonance between your occupation and interests in your profile. I suspect we would get on quite famously.

46 and 3 months here. I like getting older. I earned every minute and didn't really start living until 40.

American movie joke--there's a long series of slasher films called "Friday the 13th" where teens get slaughtered at that camp (later movies moved to different locations so the idea never got stale :rolleyes:)

Oh right I can see it now, even if I didn't watch the movies I recall the genre. Sorry LumberJim but it did make me wonder!

Somewhere I've wanted to go since Bill Bryson praised it in The Lost Continent. That prompted me to read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil which just made me want to visit even more. Any pictures you want to post in Cities and Travel would be greatly appreciated.

How about commissioning a portrait? Whether phot, watercolour or oil it would be a wonderful way to mark the event. I'm guessing you want some action though - how about Vegas for the weekend? You can fly over the Grand Canyon and pretend you are wing walking :) Or New York with helicopter trip?

Should I ask what you're rubbing into your skin?! If the pics you've posted are recent you're certainly wearing well...

Well, since I STARTED living at 40, I'm only 6+ years old. :-)
As for what I use on my skin; it's an ancient Chinese secret recipe.
The cream of sum yung ghuy. :-)
