Heck....it may suck to get old but you know the older I get the more people get out of my way.  Ha hahaha
I was born in 1944, I was born during an air raid drill in a hospital in Syracuse NY.  I still have a ration card for me...that my Mom used to get butter or something which was rationed during the war.
That makes me 64. Like the Beatles....will you still love me.....when I'm 64.

And a Happy Birthday to all you April-babies! Just remember, getting old doesn't suck! It's so much better than the alternative  ;)  ;D

in your now-infamous birthday wish post...you have been so consistent through the years with that!

Thanks for brightening my day....I hold you close in my heart! (And many others!)
