DLang Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Happy 60th. Fortunately I still have a few decades to go before celebrating that milestone. One thing is clear though, I would not like to be 60 and not own my own property and have a decent dependable income to fall back on. Enjoy those golden years with Zero stress.

biplanebluey Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 yep, did that one a few years ago, just another birthday, think 50 was probably a bigger event. Just remember it is not the numbers that count but how you feel/think inside yourself, there are 60 year olds that look and act like old farts then there are 60 year olds that look younger as well as act it, I know which one I prefer. Mate, just enjoy yourself and do whatever you feel like doing, thais dont seem to really celebrate birthdays so it is up to you, maybe your missus will give you a birthday surprise too but just being happy and enjoying each others company is pretty special to them as well, happy birthday. I'm with you Seajae, About to celebrate my, as i call it 59 + 1 birthday, in a couple of months, and definitely in the 'not acting one's age group,' My partner has organised a special present for us to celebrate together, we will be flying to Northern Europe & spending 4 nights in one of our favourite hotels before we go onboard a cruise ship for a 2 week cruise down the Iberian Peninsula then a further 4 nights in the Eternal city before we head home, a special dinner has been suggested for the day. I'm very much looking forward to the celebration & seeing new destinations through my special someones eyes will make it all the more memorable. Regards, CANDA. I suppose it's nice for some folks to show off with lavish occasions but personally with a couple of real friends and family and a few bottles I had a great laugh for my 70th and80th. Roll on next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) dunno...musta been in Hanoi about that time...just another day, hadta get up an go to work the next morning... birthdays ceased to have any significance a long time ago... one thing I do remember is that about that time they were building a new wing to an existing primary school that I had a view of outside my 4th floor balcony door...painted it the the mustard yellow color of all gov't buildings in VN... I came back to the same room after a year in the provinces (it was a company account and they always gave us the same rooms, which was cool by me as it was a nice room) and the new school wing was filled with shouting, active children and that made me smile... if you've ever walked past a primary school during playground recess and the associated din you know what I mean...
