Ok.. today I was looking at the calendar on our lovely Orchard board. Just looking around and seeing what is out there.

Out of curiosity I was looking at the month of January in the year 2013. I clicked on my bday listing.. and to my horror it said I will be 42!! It hit me like a ton of bricks! That calendar certainly puts things into perspective.

I am now depressed. Oh the horror!

What's wrong with being 42?

Seriously! 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything! Can't be too bad:)

42 was my number when I played basketball in 8th grade. It's lucky.

42 was jackie robinson's number when he played for the brooklyn dodgers....

...and look what amazing things happened to him!

2013???

Don't worry, the world ends Dec 21, 2012.
That's the end of the Mayan calendar.

That should cheer you up, or not..

That survive2012 website was blocked by my <wonderful> company's web blocker...


oh, it's great... this site (click it, it's not bad, seriously) is blocked as an "Adult / Sexually Oriented Webpage." Please, someone find me anything on HERE that is adult / sexually oriented...

~fff - np: rage against the machine - rage against the machine

Wow. That's a strict proxy!! I find nothing on either site that would be considered offensive...the Taffy's site has to be getting blocked due to keywords...can't understand why though...

Good grief Tina, I was older than 42 the first time I went scuba diving!

Thanks for the downer. I'll be 42 next August.

you think that's bad?! when i'm 42, brandon will be 36. and everyone knows that men are pretty much useless by then. so that means i'll have to go out and find a 24 year-old AGAIN and start all over. *sigh*

Good one.

Agreed.. good one.


Alright... I feel much better now. What a trying day though.

Keith.. you can't be older than 30... c'mon now. Stop playing mind games with us.

hell, just do what i did. lie. i think i am currently 2 years old according to the orchard calendar (i know, at times i act much younger ). so just tell it a lie, then you can be however old you wanna be in 2013.

Oh that is such a lie, Janelle! Whaddya think they're talking about on those Old Guys Rule t-shirts?

Unfortunately I'm not at liberty to prove this to you myself. Hey Bill, how's that ticker of yours coming along?

the ticker is great (hasn't missed a "beat", so to speak) and all "blood flow" are just fine...

trade up ladies, not down!

i really need to get ray one of those shirts. i have no idea how old i'll be in 2013 (how old am i now?) because figuring it out involves math, or looking at the orchard calendar, and i'm too much of a slacker to do either ...

whew, after reading about the horror of being 42, I'm thanking my lucky stars I recently had a birthday... I'm 43 now....

phew

*wipes brow*
