View Full Version : I've got about one year left!
At 50 a man can be an ass without being an optimist but not an optimist without being an ass. -Mark Twain

The way I see it, a 50 year old ass can still LGPG if he/she is an optimist. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif Happy Birthday Zeno. xxoo Babe

Well, I turn 50 (hopefully /forums/images/icons/wink.gif ) in February. (I think Mason is close too.) My Chinese friends born in 1953 already call themselves 50; since you begin your second year on your first birthday, they call themselves 2 on that year, so they're, by their reckoning, a year older than we say.
Beginning my sixth decade next year, I remain, for no reason that I can determine, an optimist and, for a lot of reasons that I can determine, most definitely an ass.
Well, my birthday (49th) was actually about a month ago but your sentiment is very my appreciated, Thank you!
And I still got game at almost half-a-century, ass or no ass. I will have to work on the optimist part though. Andy Fox is ahead of me in that department.

My hand reading has been good lately. I knew you would respond. (I knew we were close in age), and your response is, as usual, informative and witty. You need to remain an optimist if only in counterpoint to my "philosophical cynicism". And I think the older we get the less we worry about something so trivial as being an ass.

P.S. I am listening to "The Best of Louis Armstrong". I guess I am getting old. So what?

I'm already there. I only look young.

"Beginning my sixth decade next year"
Aren't you ending your fifth decade next year?
Andy,
Unlike your Chinese friends, I intend to hold onto my forties as long as possible, so even though I was born in 1953, I will wait until 7:04 pm on October 20, 2003 before making the concession.
By the way, if anyone's curious, my shirt size is 15 1/2, 32-33.

Gave my shirt size and posted as "Anonymous." Think I'll go with Andy's Chinese friends: okay, I'm 50 (almost.)

Well, actually both. Born Feburary 16, 1953, my first decade would have ended February 15, 1963, and my second begun on February 16, 1963.
Math's never been my forte, but I think this is right, no?

"I am grown old and my memory is not as active as it used to be. When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it."
-from his Autobiography, my favorite Twain work.

John- (or Anonymous) "if anyone's curious, my shirt size is 15 1/2, 32-33.". /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif OK....Babe says, "if anyone's curious, my "shirt size" is 36, waist is 26 and hips are 34 /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif . My birthday is Jan. 25, so I will expect lots of gifts. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif LGPG, whatever your age !! Babe
and looking over my shoulder. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
I have Twain's Autobiography as editied by Charles Neider. I know that others exist (Paine's for example) and was just wondering which version you have or which one is "best".
