I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thank you, Nilly!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just 10 seconds ago said good morning to Alibelle and told her she looked very pretty today! Easy for me since we work in the same place.

I don't remember much about my 30th as it was a low-key dinner and a movie type day. My 40th, I got a tattoo and then was thrown a party in an Indian restaurant in 6th Street in NYC with all my friends. Very nice. I'll be 50 in August and have NO IDEA what I want to do. We are planning to go visit my brother in Holland at some point, and maybe I'll do that for the birthday. However, if we do that, I think my mom and Bro are going to try to "surprise" me by having family show up and I kinda wanted this trip to be just us two. BF wants to throw a party, but I dunno. I know I am going to freak a little about the big half-century number, so I want to make sure to plan something special and happy-making.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'll be 50 in August

I have a hard time believing that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have a hard time believing that.

Me too!

I don't specifically remember my 30th birthday, but 30 was the happiest year of my life. Lotsa really good stuff went on, including the last time I fell in love, my one semi-longterm relationship, and the best sex of my life (those three things being, unfortunately, spread out over three different guys).

I just read today that Kathy Griffin and her husband have reconciled–hope it's accurate.

I have a hard time believing that.

That's where I'm supposed to tell how, when looking at the pictures from my USA trip, a friend assumed that Robin was around our age, so in her twenties?

I actually freaked out about turning the big 30 about six months before it actually happened. I completely wigged about how I hadn't done anything with my life, time was slipping away, blah blah blah.

By the time I actually turned thirty, I was over it.

I'm enjoying my thirties quite a bit, even if I'm brokeass broke all the time, but, having turned 36 just a week ago, I'm starting to feel the "Wow, I REALLY haven't done anything with my life," guilt again. Just a little, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Chalk me up for loving turning 30. I was pregnant, Joe and I were happy, and I was looking forward to leaving my 20's behind.

31? Depressing as shit. No idea why.

I'm having a hard time believing that my little baby Leif is going to be four in a few days.

It's a prime number over 17.
