Staring 40 in the face

Speak for yourself. I refuse to grow up.

I meant in terms of injuries. Didn’t explain that well. I hurt more and longer now, even things like cuts and bruises take longer to heal than they should.
 
Turning 40 is a Hallmark holiday. Just another day man.
 
Ill be dead by then

PMSL!!!! Well, I for one will attend your funeral. If I’m not dead by then. Which I probably will be.

I turned 50 this past year and while it’s a milestone to some, to me it’s just another number. I do think about my mortality a little more often than I used to. It was nice when I was 25 thinking I should have another good 50 years in me before I break apart. Now I am hoping to get 25 more years. Hopefully grandkids will be in the mix at some point but with kids at the ages 22/19/16/14, I don’t think that’s going to happen for a while. Life is what you make of it. People can try to tell you how to live it but ultimately it’s up to you.

This thread is starting to get depressing! Let’s liven it up. There’s so much to look forward to turning 40. Colonoscopies, fingers up your arse, ******** on bits of paper and sending them off for analysis, endless fun........

Look at it this way, Josh; you are in better shape than most people in their 20's/30's, you are wiser, friendly as f*$k, awesome to be around and overall a great dude. Plus you have a beautiful family. I think 40 ain't got poop on you.

You're too kind! Looking forward to catching up this weekend!

My advice, when you turn 40, find a Dr with extremely small hands. And if you feel both hands on your shoulders whilst the prostate exam is taking place, find another Dr!!!!!!!!!!

Let's compare!
I'm 35, turning 36 in two months, no wife, no girlfriend (unless I'm counting my left hand), lonely AF, out of shape, Asian in a majority Caucasian part of California, still renting, a job that I dread, haven't traveled in 4 years, golf game is non-existent, crappy car, etc. :bye:
I'm still happy with my life.
You're in much better place than most, my friend.
Sounds like the intro to your gofundme page. What is the going rate for mail order brides anyway?:alien:

You need to look at the silver lining. No wife/girlfriend means no alimony or child support. Therefore you get to keep your car, your extensive porn collection, you can afford your apartment and you're not eating "dinner" at the shelter.

Makes me think of that one commercial where a guy is waiting on a prostate exam and the doctor tears a rubber glove over his HUGE hand, hahahaha

hahahahahah I think I talked to you about this back in August... my mom was trying to set me up with a Mail Order Bride... oy.
I'm happy! I'm good! Things can be better but I have zero complaints!
Hope you're well Don! Sorry you can't make it this weekend to Palm Springs. NorCal is missing their MVP from the last event!
 
I've never cared about birthdays much, but for whatever reason I've been struggling coming to terms with turning 40 most of this year. I'm not sure why, but knowing it's coming up (just over two months away as I type this) has really been a burden at certain points over the course of 2018. The unexpected source of anxiety has a silver lining in that it has been a source of motivation to stay active, but still causes me to get in my own head from time to time. Since I'm posting about this, I suppose this is one of those days when the thought is causing me some angst, which is why I made this thread. I'm sure this will come off as ridiculous to some, but I'm curious, how do the rest of you face getting older?
The big 4 - 0. I remember it well..ah..well maybe I don't..ah..yeah I do..I think..

See what you have to look forward in 20 year? You will not be able to remember where you left your car keys or your car or golf clubs!!

@Duffertoo has a LOT of putters (he thinks he does) because he can't remember where he left them. I do feel sorry for him..rofl...

Just enjoy your time because you never know where you will be tomorrow...

@mr.hicsksta - I'm going to be honest with you, 40 is maybe the best age. You are wise enough to not be a jackalope any longer, you probably have a little coin in your pocket, life is fairly settled and you ARE still young. Enjoy it!

Oh... to another Rider, and speaking of death... I got side swiped by a car on the 101 going 55mph and I'm still alive... so maybe a delayed funeral.
 
I only cared about 3 birthdays in my life.

16th when I could drive

21st when I could drink

25th when my auto insurance premiums dropped considerably.

Get over the aging process. We all do it. It's better than the alternative !

By the way, I turn 61 in 10 days.
 
Age is relative, you get it from your parents. Life moves on, like it or not. Make the most of it. I’m pushing 60, with an erector set in my body. Outlived my dad, who died at 37, six months before I was born. Everyday you’re not underground or an ash is a bonus

You already know age ain't nothing but a number so why you sweatin' it?

The anxiety comes from living in / worrying about the future, which just prevents you from being in the present and bogs you down with nonsense. Focus on now regardless of your age. Now is all you've got.

I'm well, thanks. This will be the first NorCal/SoCal get together that I have missed. Hopefully, I can ride some coattails as effectively this weekend in Scottsdale.

I know exactly where they are. The exact count well....

Hey, you said "see what you have to look forward in 20 years" I'm not the oldest one attending this weekend. :egyptian:

Do you want to compare birth dates?

I was traumatized when I turned 30. I turned 40 three months ago and didn't think I took it as hard. However, I started having all kinds of anxiety for whatever reason. Hang in there.
 
You, sir, have given us all many laughs. A lot of us live vicariously through you. So a little bit of advice from the classics:

My wife helped me through the Big Four-Oh by giving me a copy of Dave Barry Turns 40. It was a very funny read, but I have always remembered this portion (I'm paraphrasing):

I'm at my doctor's for my physical. I'm standing over the examination table, facing away from him, having a perfectly normal conversation with him about the Phillies, when he starts to sound increasingly like Vincent Price. I hear a snapping sound, and turn around to see him placing a latex glove over what appears to be a large Virginia ham . . . .


Ages are just numbers. Some are bigger, hairier numbers indicative of mortality, but they're just numbers. As this clip shows, attitude matters:
