Happy Birthday Sailor Steve - Page 4

I'm glad I held off on my own whining about age on this forum on the inevitable approach of my own birthday

Not that I don't believe I still have reasons to bitch, but whining about turning 26 would just look silly after this thread

All the best and many more. It's a good age to age in, too. You can get replacement parts, killer painkillers, and new "putters". I'm only a few behind you, just young enough to dodge Vietnam but miss The Beatles live, so I share some of those good and bad times.

Bon Anniversaire!

Sheesh, I work on the pt boat for one day, and I almost missed this.

Happy B-Day! Hope you had a nice day.

To this day I can't look at a PT boat without whistling to myself the theme from McHales Navy!

I can remember being a little kid and thinking of my 15-year-old babysitter as one of the grownups. Of course my teachers were "real old!"

Our local library has tours of school kids come through. I see some of the teachers and think "She looks about the same age as my daughters."

Everything is relative. My 'baby' sister (twelve years younger than me, so I babysat her when she was little) is approaching fifty.

I just think about my 82-year-old dad, and I'm a kid again.

Not much to whistle about from that movie though.

I'll have youknow John Wayne was my childhood hero and without him you Americans would have had a much harder time winning the war.....just about any war, after all he probably fought in all of them.

I wonder where he got his anti ageing pills from?
