My Birthday
I am turning 41 in a few hours. I am traveling so I have not had time to contemplate how old I am getting.
If I live to be 78, I am taking serious years into the second half of my life.
I read somewhere that they asked people at what age do they think they are becoming old and women on average answered “29″ while men answered on average sixty something.
At what age would you consider yourself old?

50.
Whenever I start getting gray hair.
Happy Birthday! And I don’t know, 50 maybe? It depends on the person though.
Xanga wouldn’t let me add a mini to my last message.
Um, hmm… dunno! Maybe 30
.
Happy Birthday, Dan!!
I got my first bifocals when I turned 47. It’s been downhill ever since!
What happened with giving up Xanga at age 40?
Happy Birthday, Dan.
60ish
Well, I can’t give a specific age but if I were to have kids I’d say after they go to college. Hm
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! You’re immortal,though, so you have nothing to fear.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Have to say 40
I considered myself old when I turned 22.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! I am 73 and can’t seem to admit to being old yet.
I don’t know. I just know I’m not there yet. Happy Birthday, Dan! Safe travels!
I forgot the mini.
Happy birthday!
When I stop being able to do what I love then I’m old, and that will not be for a long, long while!
I already have a few gray hairs coming in at my temples. I actually kinda like it. I’m 31 and don’t feel old. I will feel old when I can look back and see notebooks upon notebooks filled with writing. When it gets to the point where I need a database to help me find out where my old entries are, that is when I will feel old.
This year was the first year that I felt like I was getting old. I’m 22.
Old for a man is when he needs viagra.
May you have a wonderful birthday =) As for getting old, I feel when we have lived to see grandchildren. I was just thinking, that I must be getting old, because my college graduation year (09) seems like forever ago! haha!
happy birthday~
40.
I would consider being old.. never! I like to think I’ll always have my happy, spunky spirit!
41, eh? I turn 41 next April. Didn’t know we were the same age.
There are different degrees of “old.” I feel “old,” relative to all these college kids. I mean, when I was in college, they were just being born. But I don’t feel “old,” relative to my parents’ generation.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday.
I already feel old now compared to my younger years.
Hap, Hap, Happy anniversary of your birth.
Ill let you know when I start feeling old… But for the most part I’m learnin to accept the aging process as it comes… Gray hairs and all. Oh n HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday….
Happy Birthday….
Your bday’s only a few days before mine lol…Happy birthday!
I would have to say early 50s
My birthday was yesterday! 26 felt a bit old; moseying through my mid 20s. But it’s a good age. I have a lot more figured out than I did for that sweet 16 of mine a decade ago
Happy Blessed Birthday!
@UndyingNova - I got my first gray hair at 18. D=
May you have a wonderful, fun filled birthday Dan!!
they say 60 is the new 40, but I have friends who feel old at 50. I’d like to be like my dad who didn’t feel old until in his 80′s!
oh… and Happy Birthday! May this next year be full of great personal satisfaction and joy!
i think that when i find kids to be a nuisance instead of playing with them like i’m the biggest 4 year old ever, or when i stop taking joy out of the little things, when i’m no longer amazed by the beauty that surrounds me,m and when i expect the worst out of everyone i meet, becoming fearful of everything around me, thats when i’ll become an old woman. Happy Birthday Dan
29. HEHEHE, ok, ok, 45 or so.
I’m 47 and I consider myself old until I look at my mom. She is 80. She lives alone, cooks, cleans, does the laundry, loves the computer and FB, goes on outings ..
Makes me reconsider .. Age is probably a state of mind.
Happy birthday ! Enjoy!
Happy Bday to my most favorite Dan in the world!!!! <3 <3
Legitimately,
i will probably feel old at around 40. That’s the breaking point,
man. But in truth I feel old already, and I just turned 24 about a
month ago.
Happy Birthday! I decided to get you a new pair of shoes.
Oh, I feel one is old when they’re dead.
HAPPY BIRTHDDAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not even 30 and I feel it in my joints. Happy Belated!
at 61yrs old I’m still “getting” old. lol lol lol
by the way, happy birthday!
With each passing year I am moving the “getting old” milestone…my mother turns 85 this year so I am placing that “getting old” mark there.
I would say when I start turning into my mother, but that happened a year ago..
Menopause will probably do it for me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!! Mmmmm I want some cupcakes now…
Happy Birthday! With a 91 year old mother, I have a different perspective on age. Most of my clients for landscape work are in thier seventies and they think I’m a youngster. My children think I’m ancient as most of their friends parents are in their 20′s and 30′s. I think some people are born old, but that’s a blog. May your day be filled with smiles and well aged humor.
Not sure. When I turned 30, I don’t know if I specifically started feeling old, per say, but it was a bit weird for me. I suddenly realized I only had a few years left to be “cute”, and that I’d better get my music out there while I still could be considered cute.
I feel old now. I’m 20 but I still feel like a teenager.
And happy birthday, BTW!
oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday! Sometimes I already feel old, but Rick says I’m not yet. Maybe at 60 I actually will be old.
i’m 24..and i think im old…happy birthday yo
It varies. I feel young when I discuss matters of mutual interest with my son, like our favorite sci fi & anime shows. I feel old when I look in the mirror & listen to people a couple decades younger than me talk about their age
Happy 41, BTW
happy birthday…I went downhill when I was 23
probably about 45
Happy Birthday!!!
I feel old now, and I’m turning 28 in January
I guess I just take it year by year after I turned 26 lol
but anyways…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!
Have a good birthday.
Happy Birthday, Dan. I will be 62, in two days, but I would say sometimes in my 80′s is when I will feel old.
As long as you feel young, you’ll never be old. I plan on feeling young for a very very long time.
And happy birthday
I’m trying to get over the concept of a certain age being old.
@UndyingNova - I’m 26 and have grays coming in hahaha.
70.
Women say 28?!?! Are they 28 saying that or 18 saying that? I’m gonna go with 50 for myself. I’m 32 now and still feel like i’m in my early 20′s
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
No matter how old I may get
I will never be as old as you.
Happy Birthday!
I’m hitting forty-eight this month, still not old, not even close. Esp if I don’t replace those burn out light bulbs over my bathroom vanity.
Happy Birthday, Dan!
This song is for you.
@UndyingNova - I started going gray at 17 while still in high school. Was I old? No.
80 and not one minute before!
I’m old now. This years made me age quickly.
Jasmine. I just agree… Adam`s postlng is impossible, on sunday I bought a new Volkswagen Golf GTI from bringing in $5589 this past five weeks and-a little over, 10/k this past month. it’s realy the most financially rewarding I have ever had. I began this eight months/ago and pretty much immediately startad earning over $81.. per hour. I use this website, cloud68.com
as Adam implied I’m shocked that you able to earn $7328 in one month on the internet. did you look at this page cloud68 dotc om
I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, cloud68.com
80. I will be 80 next year, assuming I am alive, and celebrate in Waikiki.
happy birthday sweet man
41
Happy birthday!
I’m already old… at least in feels like it. However in reality, maybe 85 adjusting for the progression of medical sciences. oh and Happy Birthday old chap.
But … you look older than me ?? And old for me would be 101. When I hit 100 I’m gonna be just right ! Φ ≡
for me, old is 20 years older than whatever age I am presently.
Many happy returns of the day!
Now.
I consider old being 10 years beyond my current age.
Happy birthday,you old coot! I think 80 is old. You both look and feel old at that point! After that is becomes bragging rights!
My body started to rebel a bit, so I’ll say 60 (this year) I started to wonder about this… but I’m still healthy and my mind is still young and energetic, so it didn’t really get any steam up yet…. maybe 80?
