Today is my birthday. My 39th birthday, as a matter of fact. This time next year there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth, as I will officially be Old. For 364 more days, though, I can take comfort in the fact that I am still a thirty something. In 365 days, though, I'm hitting yet another one of life's little milestones - which is better than a kidney stone...
In honor of my birthday, I'm taking the rest of the day off and going to DisneyWorld.
That is all.

Happy early birthday, Jay! Me, I look forward to 40 (I'm *almost* at 30). I'll know SO much more then than I do now!
(Dammit . . . how do I bake a low-calorie cake that doesn't taste like sawdust? Grumble snarl grumble)
In 364 more days you get to buy a .40 birthday gun!!!
Gee, thanks... My 41st birthday was Friday the 16th. I am no longer in the 31 to 40 bracket on surveys, which sucks. And now I'm reminded by you, whippersnapper.
Enjoy the mouse house.
Happy Birthday old man!
Congratulation on entering your 40th year. That's right, do the math.

Happy birthday, buddy!
Chris,
Jay had (or may still have) something in .40 goodness. I'm thinking next year's toy should also be in the '40' class, but more like 40mm !!!! In case you didn't know, he's an unabashed fan of the M79 "thump gun"
Could be worse. You could have been a baby boomer like me. I came of age in the days of don't trust anybody over 30. That makes me doomed to get old early!
Happy Birthday!
Bah - young whippersnapper ...
Don't do what I did - live those 365 days dreading the "big four-oh" which turns out to be (surprise!) no big deal at all.
Happy birthday, and enjoy the time making memories with the family.
Lissa, "low-calorie cake" is a contradiction in terms. Cake is supposed to be loaded with calories.
Jay, remember two things:
1) Your age is always X. Old is always defined as X+10.
2) Aging is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.
Happy Birthday Jay! Life gets better and better, you just watch!
Happy Birthday Jay... You share your birthday with Queen Elizabeth.
That should make you feel younger :)
Happy Birthday, Jay! I hope you're out having fun with the Mouse!
By the way...40? OLD? Nah. :)
It's just not that big a deal, trust me.
Thanks for reminding me about the age thing, Young Jedi. I'm 16 days from being 40.
I ahd forgotten it was coming up. . . (Which ain't a bad way to get older. ADD -- it's not just a disability anymore!)
Happy birthday, Jay!
Have a wonderful sunshiney day.
Happy Birthday Brother-In-Arms!

Studies have conclusively shown that the more birthdays a person has, the longer they live.
Happy birthday! 40 was no big deal. OK, actually, it was. My wife (then GF) threw a (totally) surprise birthday picnic in a park with about 70-75 friends attending. My b-day is in February. There was a foot of snow on the ground, and the windchill was below zero. We put the beer in coolers to keep it from freezing. There was a big pot of chowder heating on a coleman stove; even with the flame all the way up the chowder closest to the outside of the pot was freezing up. We had 2 bonfires going. The party pretty much lasted all day. Amazing.
OK, so the party was a big deal, but the age wasnt. I can remember as a kid I couldn't wait to be a teenager. Then I couldnt wait until I could get my driver's license. Then I couldn't wait until I was an adult. Now none of it matters. Best part is now I barely remember how old I am. As long as I'm still havin' fun I don't care what the number is.
Happy B-Day Jay! :)
All your years are belong to past!
Happy Birthday.
39? 40? Just numbers, my friend. In three weeks, I'll be closer to 60 than 50 ... but it doesn't matter. It's only a number anyway.
Happy Birthday!!!
Now quit yer whining. I've got almost 6 years on you. 40 is nothing but a number.

@ BobG, I'd say starlings
You're moving steadily up the Reaper's to-do list :-P
Many happy returns, Bro.
Gratz. Just 2 years behind you!
Happy birthday, Jay.
I could crack an old person joke, but I won't. Plus, you lose half the humor when you have to repeat it so Grandpa hears it.
I SAID, I *COULD* CRACK AN OLD PERSON JOKE...
Happy BD youngster!
Happy 39th Birthday Jay.
40 doesn't mean shit. When you clear that 50 hurdle is when you start not recognizing the guy in the mirror and wondering where the time went.
You have another decade to enjoy before the awful truth begins to really set in.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday. Hard to believe you have all that, uh, energy, in just 39 years. :)
Happy Birthday, old man.
39? Shiny. That still classifies you as a young-un in my book. Call me when you start getting closer to the 50 mile marker.
Hope you had splendiferic birthday!
