Today, my =
bride celebrates her birthday, and no, I’m not revealing her =
age. Me? I’m 74 and glad she’s finally caught up with =
me. I wanted to collect some upbeat wishes to share with her. =
Thankfully, she doesn’t waste time reading this blog, so I am safe =
in poking fun on her special day.
**I have the fire department on =
speed dial, a fire-extinguisher under the table, a flame-resistant =
tablecloth, and the EMT’s are on call just in case you have an =
unexpected asthma attack blowing the candles. Just letting you =
know.
**Congratulatio=
ns on reaching the year where all compliments will be followed by, =
‘for your age’.
**I will never =
send you one of those greeting cards making fun about getting up in =
years. I know how sensitive old folks are about their age. But look on =
the bright side: You’re younger than what you’ll be next =
year!
**Happy =
birthday to someone who can do drugs on their birthday, only now =
legally, for medical reasons.
**You may not be over the hill, =
but you must admit you’re starting to feel really woozy from the =
climb.
**You know how =
most people, on your birthday, tell you, ‘You never seem to =
age’? Well, I’m not one of them.
**BTW, blowing =
out your birthday candles at your age is not a good idea. Your dentures =
may fly out of your mouth and knock someone unconscious. =
**Today is the =
day when everyone gladly reminds you that you’re another year =
older and we all pretend to be happy about it.
**When you =
were young, everything used to drive you up the wall. Now that =
you’re older, there’s actually a stair lift that literally =
does just that.
**They tell =
you that you’ll lose your mind when you grow older. What they =
don’t tell you, is that you won’t miss it very much. =
**I =
couldn’t afford candles this year, much less a cake. I tried to =
find something that represented the year you were born. Unfortunately, =
the thrift shops were closed.
