Good list!

Thinking about it, equating 40 with "over the hill" is probably a
throwback to the days when life expectancy was much shorter. Now it's
just an excuse to razz someone. The party decoration stores must
love it!

I didn't mind turning 30, 40 or 50. For some reason it's never been a
big deal to me. I don't really feel much different than I did when I
was in my 30's. Age is a number. No need to panic!
