Happy belated birthday! They aren't really important anymore, are they? I
don't celebrate mine and it's not because of fear of getting older or worry
about some random number. It's because it's just a number. Another day on
the calendar.

Okay, when I turned 18 it was a big deal. The legal drinking age in
Tennessee was 18 at the time. Couldn't get anyone to card/proof me to save
my life! Then they changed it to 19 but they grandfathered in the already
18 year olds. By the time they changed it to 21 I was past caring. LOL

I fail to understand people who get all upset about turning 30 or 40 or 50
or... you're only as "over the hill" as you let yourself feel
