--Age--
Carey told me I'm an old fart, and let's face it, Carey knows all about farts, so she must be right. *grin* I'm turning 40 in just a few days. But it doesn't bother me. Yet. I freaked out when I turned 30. Was there any particular age that bothered you? Or one that you haven't reached yet, but are dreading?
--Peep Meet--
I had a peep meet Monday night. Batts was coming through Nashville on his way to Dayton, OH, so he and I had dinner Monday night, and got to know each other. I would have never guessed that he is 47. We were talking about some of the different peeps that post on the Real World/Road Rules forum, and it's so funny how we both assume that most of the other peeps are young, but then you start to realize that there's really quite a few people who... hmmm, let's just say that are in their 30's and up. Batts wanted to guess my age, and I'm not sure if he really thought what he guessed or if he was just blowing smoke up my ass. He said I look 28. I kinda think he fudged that guess, to be nice.
--Weekend plans--
Tonight, I'm supposed to be going to the bowling alley with a couple of friends. We're not sure if we're going to bowl, or just go to the bar and have a couple of drinks. I want to go see the movie
Barnyard (or is it Barnyard Animals??). I don't care if it is a kids' movie, I think it would be frikkin hilarious. I am also going to clean this mother-fucking house if it's the last thing I do. I have to find my birth certificate, because apparently I need that to renew my driver's licensce. It doesn't say that on the renewal notice they mailed to me, but one of my co-worker's had called, and that's what she was told to bring. I thought I knew where it was, but I was wrong. I have my birth card (which is an abstract of the actual certificate), but apparently that's not good enough. Which makes no sense. What the hell is the purpose of this card, if no one will accept it? It is issued from the same place as the certifcate, so what makes the piece of paper valid but not the plastic card?

I did freak when I turned 40 and I just know I'll freak when I turn 50. Not sure how I reacted to turning 30. I probably freaked LOL.
Wow! I never would have thought Batts was 47. I thought he was a young guy. How nice that the two of you got together for dinner.
Good luck finding your birth certificate!
Funny, indeed about online age. I always think posters are younger than they are. Everyone is 30 in my mind.
Your state must be weird with the bc thing for renewing your license. We just have to retake the vision test pretty much. Of course, post 9/11 new rules might have been implemented.
SO far 44 was the most difficult for me. Until then I was in my early 40's. Now I'm in my mid 40's. *yikes*
Thirty was NOTHING. I'm shocked at how some people react to turning 30. Is it a chick thing maybe?
I think I will probably freak when I turn 30. Hell, I'm not all that happy to be turning 26 next month. *sigh* But that's about where I am in life and what I don't have more than it is about feeling old.
Yay for peep meets. I would've never guessed Batts was 47 either.
Good luck with the house cleaning. I need to do that too.
Drivers license -I let mine expire and when I checked the DMV website, it said that if you let your license expire you have to take a test to renew it. So I studied the guidebook, and stressed about the test, and even cancelled an appointment because I wasn't ready, then rescheduled for 2 weeks later.
When I got there, I signed in, she took my paperwork, then handed me my new temporary license - no test! I didn't know whether to be relieved or pissed! Another thing. They told me it wold be 4-6 weeks to get my license in the mail. It came three days later. Now, I know this is good because they delivered much better than they promised, but still, isn't that ridiculous?
Oh I like Batts! He is funny!
I think I might feel 45. Not 40. Also I think I might not like 60.
30 did not bother me.
I haven't freaked about any age yet, but next year I turn 40, so I'll get back to you on that one!
Yay! for meeting batts! I think we just seem to be younger because we're all so damned immature! *grin*
Just be great ful you don't live in NJ! If you did, you would not only need your birth certificate, but your marriage license, your divorce decree (if you've ever driven in this state by a different last name) plus 2 other forms of ID! I've told Nutzgirl that if she ever gets married, don't change her last name!
Last year, I had to send away to NY to get an "official" birth certificate because the one I've used my whole life was no longer acceptable, then I had to run over to the courthouse in the town I got married in because I couldn't find my marriage license! I also had to bring my SS card and a utility bill. Supposedly, now that I have the "new" style of license, it'll be easier next time. We'll see in 3 years!
I don't think any age has bothered me yet since in my head I am still 13.
I wish I knew you were meeting Batts. I would ahve told you to hug him for me. I too thought he was young. We're probably all a bunch of old farts over in that forum. :)
Oh! I forgot... I also needed PHOTO ID! Can you imagine? Lucky for me I had my employee ID from the college. If I worked somewhere where we had no ID's like that, I'd be screwed.
Geez Nutz, you can get a passport with less documentation than that!
The year I turned 30 was one of the best years of my life! I could live that year over & over & over again. Tom & I were newly-weds. I was a hard-body. What the hell happened to my hard body?
I was too distracted to notice turning 40. I did not like turning 50; any way you look at it you are on the downward slide.
My next hurdle will be turning 60 (not too soon but eventually). Then? You are so totally old. There are no fig leaves big enough to gloss over that age. I do NOT want to be 60 - ever!
Well, look at it this way, Swami. You'll only be 60 for a year.
Nookie, I wanted to let you know that you have a fan. Batts couldn't stop talking about you, and how much he respects you and the way you express your point of view in your posts.
Kim and Nutz - the thing that really kills me about this DL thing, is in addition to the BC, you have to have two forms of ID. The driver's license that you are renewing is accepted as one of those two. I just keep thinking that should be enough, and I shouldn't have to have my birth certificate, and my social security card, and two other proofs of residence (such as utility bills).
MTW, damn you're old. *grin* I keed, I keed!
Jen, I think that's it. I freaked about turning 30, not because OMG I'm old!, but because I had set a few goals for myself and the target date had been "by the time I'm 30", and had not met any of those goals. I felt like a frikkin failure. Of course, looking at 40, I have the vague sense of freaking because it's old. LOL.
. I had no problems turning 30. It was a good year. I got my PhD and got married and took six months off. Now, I will admit to a certain concern about my age. Everyone around me is 5-10 years younger plus the whole “I might want kids sometime” has become “Do I want kids? Yes/No”.
I’ve always looked forward to 50 for some reason though.
I don't worry about age at all, anymore. It's just a number.
I had a freak out trying to find my birth certificate to get into Canada in July, but I never had to show it at all. I really need to order a new one from PA, because the old one didn't really look official anyway.
I'm in the same age bracket as Swami. Like I said, it doesn't bother me, but I'm not happy about health and body change issues. At least my hair is not as gray as my siblings, who are 4 and 11 years younger than me.
