12254Olly, by now it is Saturday - where you are - you have already turned 50 and now you know and can share that with all of us - WHAT IS IT LIKE BEING 50 OLLY?
As for me - it wasn't any different than when I turned 30, 40, or even 60 - it was just a birthday - a day to celebrate my life - good times were many and I still have some, too. When my grandmother was turning 75 and running around with the younger crowd - people in their 60's, I would ask her - why she did that - she told me - that she felt younger than she was - if she was with younger people - everyone thought she was younger, it helped keep her younger, too. Have a great birthday and don't let the number mess you up dear one - you are who you are - inside and out - have fun and live life to the fullest. I didn't get married to my husband until I was 52, so who knows what might happen for you in the next few years - it took me a long while to enjoy what God wanted me to have - I kept thinking it was something that I didn't have - now I know - he was trying to get me to the place he wanted me - not the place I thought I wanted to go. Celebrate today and each day that you have that follows today.

Oh thank you so much Shirlene. I am very blessed to have a husband and children who love me and I thank God for them every day. The best present I got was a card with little messages written by my 19 year old and my 13 year old. They were from the heart and will be treasured. We went out to a traditional German restaurant (even though I am in Australia). The restaurant is located in an old refurbished church. The wooden beams, vesticule and ornate ceilings are still in place. It was lovely and we ate as a chap clad in traditional German leather pants yodled as he played the piano accordian. I feel no different today to what I did yesterday. As a friend once told me "Once you're over the hill my dear, you get a better view".
211079OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALSO.....THAT MAKES 3 OF US FOR THE 18TH.....
I HOPE YOURS WAS WONDERFUL......deanna

34246Ahhh--it's all maintenance from here on out. You'll go the doctor a lot more than you ever did for piddly picky things, and routine tests.
You are wiser. Hopefully, your children have left the nest, and you can hear yourself think again, and have the time to explore what you want to do with the rest of your life.
6574All of my best wishes for tomorrow ! You will not notice the difference. I did 60 quite a while ago and did not even notice it then. Somedays when the winter cold bites I do think about it though.
27028I do not pay much attentions to ###'s. What I find important is my health no matter what year it is. Hope you have good health on your B-days with alot love from family and friends. H&*
16434Congratulations for tomorrow. 50 is a great age. I am now 65 and still feel great. It's only numbers!! Have a great day tomorrow.
255050Happy birthday Saturday. 50 is still quite young, in my eyes. Have a great day.
48168Olly "they" say when u turn 50 and you wake in the morning WITHOUT any aches and paines, there you are dead!!! Congratulations for Sunday

18960Happy birthday for Saturday and I hope you enjoy the day. As far as turning 50 goes it is just a number and no different from turning any other age. Age is what you make of it and the same goes for life. Enjoy and don't worry about numbers. I am over 50 and haven't looked back yet and don't intend to. Have a great day and enjoy.
339its fantastic being 50, you know why????? its simply because you are alive. just think if you had not been able to have reached this age all the things you would never have done and the fantastic people you would have missed talking to.
just wait till you get to 63 and find you have learnt so much more since this day.
When iwas only 50 i could not use a computer or talk for free to anyone abroad, in fact i didn't know anyone abroad to speak to and now i have just so many friends that i ahve never met but can share so much with.
happy birthday for saturday its the same day as mine. and may you have many more return dates

Ek het vir jou nou die dag n boodskap gestuur maar jy het nie geantwoord nie.
11877HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Enjoy life no matter what age you are and always think young, and you will stay young!
50 is just another wonderful number. I quit caring about numbers as an ominous thing when I turned the dreaded 30. It is just another number... A wonderful one no matter what it is! So I hope you have the most wonderful birthday ever! :)
12821Dear Olly!
Turning 50 is a wonderful time in your life. This is one birthday I don't have to worry about anymore.

Enjoy your day on Saturday. Have a blast!

768Fantastic - life is just beginning! Enjoy every day and tell all your family that you love them and often!
Life is precious and goes by so fast!
Love and blessings Chris
234496Not much different to 49 -unless you talk yourself into making it seem worse! I can say that with 2 years experience :) Enjoy your day -and in fact the entire year -at least!
23163Have a Happy Bday, I been celebrating 50 for over 9.5 yrs so now I get to celebrate 60 in December. although I don't feel that old. I have decided you can feel as old or young as you want to. It's that one little thing that get s you. Your body don't always agree with the mind. But have a great day. Look at it this way it's a new adventure.
10191*It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
*I've discovered that I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
*I wish the buck stopped here. I sure could use a few.
My wild oats have turned to prunes and All Bran.
I don't remember being absent minded.
The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom.
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
I feel like the morning after and I haven't been anywhere.
A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge.
My mind makes contracts my body can't keep.
I look forward to a dull evening.
The gleam in my eye is from the sun hitting my bifocals.
Oh no--now I'm depressed--sorry Olly :) Have a great day :)

Loved these - had a really good laugh. I've seen them before (a long time ago) and had forgotten about them.
And yeah they do seem to come true!
12707It is a time of your life when you can be the woman you want to be, say the things you want to say and plan the second half of your life to be the best it can be.,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
372Happy Birthday Olly, Wishing you lots of Blessings on your special day!!! Hugs, Judy
92391It is great. You can finally be you and you do not have to feel like you have to do what everyone wants to you and you can even seek a fews days in for you and not feel guilty. You earned it.

16513Have a Lovely Birthday!
Turning 50 means you must stress less so you can look forward to many more years.
Happy Birthday for Saturday.
From Bev
7875Well happy day saturday i cant tell you what its like because i turned 40 on the 31st of august but i hope its a wonderful day
3442Just like being 49 and 364 days AND Happy Birthday on Saturday
115751It beats the heck out of the alternative!!!!
Happy Birthday. You are just 29 with 21 years experience.
2008Not a bit different than being 49 or 62 for me. I just got my first social security check this month so I'm greatful for that. Have a happy birthday and don't let the numbers get you down. You can actually be goofier now with every year because getting older people expect you to forget things and do funny stuff. I love being me and doing what I want and when.

62461It doesn't hurt too much! Have a wonderful 50th birthday and think young!
29871Ouch, yeah it hurts,but just a little. I always figure my friends are the same age too, so we are all in the same boat. Happy B-day and don't even think in numbers.
5046I can tell you that it felt quite marvelous when I turned 50 some years ago. I just try very hard to think young !!!. I will have my 60 birthday in January, and even that does not feel too bad. LOL. I would only like to be able to jump around a little more, ha, ha, ha.
Have a lovely birthday, and enjoy your day on Saturday.
Hugs
Marietta
15907Have a wonderful B-Day!!!!! I think your chronological age is one and how you feel in another one, I am 59 will be 60 May next year, I do not feel different now or 12 years , so enjoy your day.
26714I'm not quite there yet but my DH just hit 50. It's great! Just remember, you're as old as you feel. Hope you are feeling young! Happy Birthday!
463410Same as when I was 37. But now I have new friends that help me everyday, Ben Gay Art tritis is around also But age is a stage of the mind. Think young and you won't be sorry. Thank God we've made it this far.
15982there's not so much difference as long you think your the age you feel yourself. Just hope you don't feel 60, hehe just a joke. hope you have a lovely birthday saturday!!
hoera 50 jaar= hurray 50 years. In Holland we say: you are or will see Sarah that day.
743283Pretty good considering that you've probably already lived over half of your life...after all how many people do you know that are over a hundred....lol. Actually it's just like being 49 or you could tell everyone that you're 49 with 1 year experience. Happy Birthday and hope it's a great one.
2066153Whatever age you are, you are only ever one day older than you were the day before
199650 is awesome!!!It will be like whatever you want it to be! If you like who you are and where you are in life it will be pretty cool. I turned 60 in June and can't belive it. I love my life, etc,etc.Enjoy your day! LOL Carol
12165I'll be 55 in November and I have loved these last 5 years. People consider you to have wisdom and treat you with respect. The Best part is you don't have to behave your age. Enjoy your day and DO buy something just for you!!

2877Being 50 is just a number and it's what you make of it. Just enjoy it like you did turning any other age. You're turning 50 Sat. and I'll turn 60 in Jan., so I'll start another milestone just like you.
Enjoy everything you can.
Happy early Birthday!
38558i was 50 fifteen years ago and i didn't feel any different than i do now. Age is just a number it is how you feel that counts. Happy Birthday and many more
27608No different than feeling 49 as far as I can remember. Age is just a number. I just turned 66 and mentally don't feel any older than when I was 30. Just more aches and pains. Enjoy your special day and don't worry about numbers...
4077I don't know but I plan to be able to do cartwheels myself, ROFL! Enjoy your SPECIAL DAY and remember to FIESTA ANYHOW ;D *2U
63126Happy early birthday! I'll turn 58 next month and thought 50 was great. I feel comfortable in my skin, know who and what I am. Wouldn't be 21 again unless I knew all the things I know now. Enjoy.
12985I just turned 50 last Wednesday, and still feel like I'm 21, lol. I joke to my kids that they're older than me.
Enjoy your day!
Sondra
5795Like fine wine, I am sure you get better with age. Have a great 50th birthday. Do all the things you like to do including embroidery.
10084Your day should be just like any other day except you might start getting mail from AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) if you live in the states. lol It's your special day ~ Enjoy!
89895
27683Happy Birthday to you! I'm only 40 this year, so you have 10 yrs on me... But 40 doesn;t feel much different than 30 except that I am a bit 'wider' - LOL! Oh yeah,and I'm a bit wiser, too!
3157I'm thinking mel08 has the right idea....just 50 with 11 years experience...that is me....I loved turning 50...as I was in the middle of my last career job and it was a great time in my life. My kids were going off to college and I was so proud of them and I was able to do some things I wanted to do, not the things I needed and gratefully did for them, but now at 61 I am starting a whole new life in embroidery and I am having a ball. I think it is a matter of mind over body and the love of our Father that gives me the energy and talent that I have. I taught children in high school whose parents were younger than me and in such ill health and acting like they were in the 70's but that is their fault. My dad passed away last year at 96 and he never slowed until his last 6 months. My mom will be 90 in Dec. so I better enjoy getting old. I do and now I can wear the red or the purple or the black or the yellow or whatever I please. Just do your thing with the Lord by your side and it will be an easy ride.....right cuties......!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY!!!
15874My mom says, it means in what feels like five years you will be 70.
2713Same as being 49, you stay you your whole life...what is a number anyway? Don't let it bother you, enjoy who you are and where you are in your life.
Happy Birthday!
40397UMMMM...gee, I don't remember-that was 3 yrs ago for me, I have a hard time remembering yesterday?! LOL-kidding. Actually, to me it's just a number and not as old as I used to think it was when I was 16-remember when we were teenagers and thinking 50 was OLD. Don't fret about hon,just enjoy the day and if I don't get to acknowledge you Saturday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many,many more... ~lindA~
20173It's just another day. Just look at it as an extension of 49. LOL Have a great 49 + birthday!
29648Have a great 50th - every year has something wonderful to offer..enjoy each and everyone and many many more ... hugs x0x0x0x
27071Happy 50th. Being 50 was great for me and now that I'm 66, I'm thankful for each day God gives me and every year I get to spend with my DH is another blessing from God. Enjoy your day and the years to come. God bless, Judy
10530Honey, Many happy returns of the day. May you live to be a hundred feeling like fifty.Remember:
AGE IS MIND OVER MATTER.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Enjoy yr Birthday and all the blessings that come yr way.
Hugs and flowers,
Starlet
3196OH I so loved my fifties, they were the best years of my life. I had a ball, working, dating, dancing & dining, my last fling before retirement and age started creeping up on me.
Now in my Sixties, I'm not feeling as healthy or as fit and I have far more aches and pains and a lot less get up and go, don't even have the inclination to get up and go most of the time. LOL!!!
Enjoy your fifties, make the most of them and try and stay healthy.
They are the fun years of a woman's life.
No worries about unwanted pregnancies, the kids should have left home so you can recapture the magic with your husband, (or find a new one) and quite possibly you will discover the greatest joy of all......
GRANDCHILDREN!
Yes, the fifties are fantastic!!!
Hugs n roses, Meganne
122864Happy 50th to you. Just remember it is just a number. I turned 62 in April, but sometimes I act like I am 40. Enjoy your day on Saturday. I made this for my friend when she turn 50. Happy Birthday. Hugs Lynn

Just found out this morning over coffee that I'd missed a friend's 52nd birthday. Hmm, an apron maybe, with this on it. Thanks for the idea!
51302Just remember a birthday is a gift from God and that is why you can not return it. So much better being fifty and being healthy. Enjoy your day. Happy Birthday. Hugs, Mary
33871Happy 50th for Saturday. You as young or as old as you feel. Just another number , but have a great time on your 50th- Hugs Yvonne
132773It is like being 39 with 11 years of experience.

443750 wasn't bad at all, 55 is when my trouble started, but then, you aren't me so 55 will probably be a breeze for you! Hope so anyway! Happy Birthday in 2 days!!! Age is just a number, it's all relative (if your relatives fell apart you will too, ROFLOL, I crack me up, lol). I do promise that you won't feel any older on Saturday than you do on Friday!
Debra
33580Maybe you should just celebrate and not ask such serious questions! heehee It is all in your mind! Age is just a number and is never the same for any 2 people. Make the best of everyday and enjoy life no matter what the Number Says! You are the one that decides what 50 feels like. Have fun and enjoy your birthday and all the days that follow.
24961Happy Birthday!
As for being fifty I forgot what it was like. Just kidding. I was just up and running after a hernia and my kids were joking they'd give me a cane as a birthday present and I'd better ask my hubby for a wheelchair. Luckily I did not need either of those then or now. :)
145304The same as last year's. LOL....You are as old as you feel and act. I've always said that. I turned 58 this past May and I actually feel younger than I did last year. (of course it could be cause the past two years I had knee surgeries.)hehehe... Just enjoy the day and not think about the number.:) Happy Birthday.Terre

34172life is better after 50 just be proud of the miles and get a red hat and a purple dress and say I've did my time and now I'll party and do it my way give yourself a present and say for a year I'll do what makes ME happy I promise it will change your outlook on life after 50

oooohhhh, I do so hate the red hat and purple dress stuff. A lady I met can't wait to be 50 so she can do that! I am 56 and though I love red I just will never wear that, lol!

After all that you can wear and do what you want, I probably wear jeans that are too tight and too young for me and I wear my sneakers that the teens wear and though I love red and purple, I just personally wouldn't be caught dead in the red and purple together, lol!
1091Hi It's the same as 49 or 40 or 30... It's how you think about life and birthdays. Its just a number. You don't feel any different than before. Just keep on doing what you have always done. You never feel older inside . At least I don't. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and embrace wisdom. Suzanne
