which is exactly what I should have done.

and will now do

Crikey, you're bloody old, aren't you ?

I bet you watch all those ads on the telly for artifical joints with renewed interest now !

... Once you're 37, 40 seems real close.

Once you're 40 you're near death

...Once you're 42, that's the meaning of life and you start all over again.

(guess who's 42)

Hey..I'm cool with that. My favorite music is at least that old (while I am 25 and 1/2)

The other day I had to say how old I was to someone on the phone and it took me about 15 seconds to come up with it. I couldn't remember. So I actually had to do the math from my birth year.

When 6 was the last birthday overtly celebrated the significance of the number seems to fall away.

I understand exactly how you feel, GC. I'm 31, can count the number of boyfriends I've had on one hand, still not married, still no kids, we pay more for the mortgage on our condo than my friends do on their houses (because, you know, they got married and bought houses and had kids years ago), I still don't earn a decent living, and in spite of my education, ambition, and talent, I seem to be nearly worthless in the job world except for sales, which I can tell you is a hard way to scratch out your living.

But you know what? Unlike my settled friends, I'm free to have an evening out with my swanky friends. So there's something to be said not "being there" yet

Y'know, I turned 37 in January and had some of the same things go through my head. I have the house and family and all the trappings of such and am happy with it all, but 37 sounds oh-so-much closer to 40 than 36 did. I live a good life and don't really want for anything, so it wasn't a sense of not having accomplished what I thought I would. Just a nearness to another decade that I really thought was further away.

I'm 44, GC. I was about your age when I first met you, if I recall. (I joined MP in 2001).
