    Don't worry, you won't feel any different than at 29.

    Many people kill themselves the day before they turn 30 though.

    30 years is merely spare change in the whole sum of life....

    I'm assuming that was aimed at me, and in the case, at least I'll know I'll be in good company in the old folks home.

    Take your midol already.

    Dude,.... you're just, plain, too old to still be living!




    j/k ;)

    I'm one and a half times as old as you. (It used to show on the side panel. Oh well.)

    Rolling the odometer is only a big deal if you let it be. 30 and 29 are the same, except that some very narrow-minded folks will move you into different groups and exclude you from some things because you are "the wrong age." as if...

    I do want to make it clear that your whole universe is different at 40 than it is at 25. About as different as 25 is from 18. However, the change happens gradually, and "odometer" days are just numbers. Life events matter MUCH more.

    I know 18 year olds that have more sense than some 50 year olds, and I know some 60 year olds that have more fun than most 20 year olds I know.

    Be true to yourself. Who gives a rat's a$$ what anyone else thinks!

    How about this... view it as a celebration that you're still breathing, and not pushing up daisies. Life is good. :)

    ^normally that's a good philosophy, but in this case he shouldn't have been trusted to begin with.


    i was wondering that too... i always thought the midlife crisis stereotypically happened at 40...

    I'm having a REALLY difficult time with the fact that I'll be turning 30 in August. It's like, up until now, the 20's, you still feel like a kid. Now I feel like, dang, I'm really an adult now! ;)

    I don't want to be turning 30, but as my grandmother always says about age, there's only one other alternative to aging, and well, I don't want that.

    I can't wait to turn 30...I actually enjoy aging...I find that as each year goes by I get more comfortable with myself and I notice how my innerself changes as the years go by...So I welcome it...

    I just turned 35 bitches...they give you a flying car but it's invisible and you're not supposed to tell any of the young'uns about it...I've said too much...

    Anywho, 30 is nothing. Some people get all weird and pissy about it because they've been told to be upset about it. Mostly women who think their lives are over or something...whatever. I am still me.
