Well you aren't dead which seems to be the preferred outcome for a 50th birthday. Congrats!

Although enjoyable, that wasn't easy to remember at all!

welcome to the club fellow but slightly younger Xer. hows your health and retirement savings.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Health actually quite good. Um, the other is not. I'll never retire. I'll die at my desk with my BPD patient screaming in my ear like she does each week that she needs to come off her medication because it's giving her a rash, the medication she's been on for like eight years, lol.

Did you grow up thinking the work hours would go down as we got older and the retirement age would go down as we made our way to star trek utopia. I did and I hate this cyberpunk future we live in.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yes I did and it sucks.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Congrats! Oh, to be that young again!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you! I honestly like 99% feel the same as I ever did. My knees ache somewhat, and I will admit I'd like some Botox, but I honestly am having an absolute breeze of menopause and my health, knock on wood, is as fine as ever. I'm pretty lucky.

Noice. What are your birthday plans?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Doing some cross border Black Friday clothes shopping! While it's still safe to go to the US and the economy isn't fucked all to hell by the orange rapist. As they say on Letterkenny, if the Yanks have one thing sorted it's their shopping.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a good day then, and since you're in the same "overall" geography as me, a beautiful day for it, to boot. Have fun!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I will! I love love love clothes shopping for great bargains.

[-] rhacer@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It was at 50 that I started to realize that I was on the downhill slope of my life. I had more days behind me than I have in front.

That is not a bad thing. Every day becomes more precious. It focuses you on things that are truly important and what legacy you may leave.

Happy birthday! I hope it and all the future ones are brilliant.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks!!

That's 62 in base 8. Or 32 in base 16.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's absolutely true. Whatever that is haha.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Nerdy way of expressing "age is just a number" :)

[-] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

As we tend to say in the Netherlands, you have seen Abraham (or Sarah).

[-] horse_tranquilizers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Any lessons?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

It really makes your life and the life of others better if you are friendly, welcoming, helpful, and polite. Especially when things are hard for them. You can't fix everything but you can be a light in the darkness for someone simply by making the effort to go a little bit further.

Also life is way too precious to stay in relationships with toxic narcissistic borderline family members.

Happy birthday! Every decade i think, "this is the best!" Embrace being young enough to still do most of the things you enjoy and being old enough to (sometimes) know which ones to skip. https://youtu.be/NJf5DMVa5kQ?feature=shared
