Hitting 40

JupiterKid

Today I turned 40 but I don't feel 40. I honestly don't know where the last 20 years have gone - they've certainly flown.

Boards.ie wished me a happy birthday. Any other AHers who have hit the big 40 got any advice or words of wisdom?

Get married to the right person.

By the time I'm 40 you'll be 51. So uh, I guess you should enjoy only being 40 and stop worrying about it. Soon you'll be 51.

Your mickey should stay working till your 91.

40 is the new 70.

Hang on, is that right or should it be t'other way round?

In Pluto years, it'll be another 208 earth years before you're one year old.

Pluto is a dog. In plutodog years, you're still in nappies. Age is a matter of cosmic geography.

Turned 40 last year. I'm the same, don't feel it, although I'm starting to hurt myself doing simple things. I moved the sofa recently for example and and I got a sharp pain in my lower back and my hip started to throb and has been sore ever since. Think I may have gout in my left heel also. I now judge restaurants not by their food, but by how comfortable their seats will be to sit in for a couple of hours.

The real headwrecker for someone around our age though is that the distance in time from the mid 90's until now, is roughly the same amount of time as from the time we were born, until the mid 90s.

Does your mickey get excited when you are stripping the scrath off the bog?

That's better, witty and original :pac:

My micky is like a fully charged power screwdriver, pull the trigger and its raring to go, but if you've nothing to screw you haven't a clue how good it is.:)

My whole body trembles with excitement when I'm on a bink:)

As a 41 year old my mickey usually still works as I like younger men.

OP, turning 40 is great. People take you seriously but you are still young enough to go out and have loads of fun. Have loved life more since turning 40. Think I am more comfortable in my own skin and don't give a toss what others think coz am of the opinion that I know myself well enough to know what works for me and they don't.

Enjoy it and happy birthday.

Some say it takes longer for the mickey to get going when you hit your forties, abit like the electric kettle with limescale.
It will boil the water but takes longer.

Limescale doesn't do much harm if you keep the element well scrubbed.

Turned 40 in December, feel just as good as I did 10 years ago, find it's a bit tougher on the dating scene though as I get older.

Tigger

I'm 40 and I tink I look and feel 25 however I think people that are 25 look 12 and I'm not allowed feel them.

Pumpkinseeds

I'm 42 and I think most people feel the same as the OP about turning 40. It's the first milestone birthday people don't look forward to and it does make you take stock of your life. Feeling younger than you are is quite normal.

40 this year as well and like others above I don't feel it either

Here's a question.. is "turning 40" still a big deal as in do ye have a big bash etc? I don't think I'd have the interest.. just another day to me

Maybe just do something special to you, like take a trip or something, if you don't want to have a party? I think it's nice to mark milestones, just in my own way rather than automatically deciding to have a party :P.
