the big six-oh
« on: May 14, 2019, 06:27:33 PM »
I never enter my birthdate on forums for fear of doxxing myself. Plus I all to often feel : what the heck is there to celebrate?  But what the heck. It's my 60th (Jesus! seriously) round about now-ish. and for some strange reason I feel like celebrating...in a very low key way.

Actually, a few weeks ago, i was talking about this with my sister and said "you know, I've never had a surprise party, and i'll never have one now cos..."

I was going to say "everybody's dead" or something like that. I mean, the number of deaths amonst family and friends these past two years has been ridiculous. So it's hard to imagine how the few people left could possibly make up a party between them . But my sister cut in and completed my sentence with

"Yeah. You can't eat birthday cake.  You don't drink..."

Oops, yeah, that too.  It's really  hard to think how to celebrate anything these days  :LOL: Indeed , i usually stay away from parties (don't we all?)

But , hell and dammit, for some unfathomable  reason, I feel like celebrating that great big zero this time around . And  I've actually bought myself a box of Booja Booja chocolates. So do  feel free to post some virtual cake  :green:

Wow, happy birthday.

I am less than 6 years behind you. It's too bad you don't drink. I will have an extra drink on your behalf next time I open a bottle of  wine.

OMG it's my favourite gopher !  :green:
NP, Gopher, the everything-free cake is just perfect.

Anyways, sugar is just about the only cake ingredient i can eat! don't take that away  :LOL:

My body thrives on cane  sugar, doesn't know what to do with fat except save it for later. And gets seriously screwed over by gluten, dairy, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup in all its myriad forms...the list goes on and on.

I used to think I was allergic to chocolate , but I'm not!  it was all that fat plus traces of gluten, etc. Now  I can let myself  eat a whole three Booja Booja chocolate truffles at a time without becoming ill, so long as i don't have any fat in my dinner  :green:

But yeah, it is seriously hard to stop at three.  Those are seriously good truffles.   Unlike most of your gluten-free junk, They actually taste like they cost an arm and a leg.

Please do. I like watching other people get drunk  :green:  and i like it even more when they think i am drunker than them . hehe

I shall have a glass of Schloer myself.

I only gave up drinking cos I don't need depressants to get drunk. I can be dis-cordinated  over-confiding, and beyond the pale without any help from a bottle.

Sixty feels bigger than it really is, especially at first.

You are the same as you were yesterday. Get over the new number and just keep going.
Enjoy your well earned wisdom!

Oh, and Happy Birthday. I do not normally do that, but with hard acquired wisdom comes extended tolerance, like it or not.

Hope your days are gentle and your nights restful.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

oops that almost rhymes . I read it, first off,  as "Hope your days are gentle and your nights resentful."  :LOL:
anyway, thanks for the good wishes and unintentional laugh.
