Hey all!

Just wanted to give a heads-up and make sure I get as much blush-factor out of this as I can! :p

Our very own jdclyde hits the ripe old age of 40 tomorrow!

Just remember, jd, this is where LIFE REALLY BEGINS!!!

All the very best, babz - hope you have a wonderful day with the boys.

[b] HAPPY BIRTHDAY [/b]

Lotsa love

GG

Think you are getting older? Look how long you still have to retirement. :^0

Enjoy all the attention.

Dad

by jdclyde

I think I would get bored if I retired....

Old? Your only as old as the one you feel! B-)

And of course I wish JD TWO ewes. One will never be enough!

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Love ya, man. You know I do.

Be nice to have this kind of info early enough to send a card, maybe a pressie. But NO! I had to learn about it through GG, who we all trust to rat you out!

Hope you have the time of your life. You only get to do this once! :x :x :x

by jdclyde

I am sober enough from last night to drive now, so it is time to go out for the night again.

heading out to play some darts tonight. seemed like the thing to do.

ewes? But I already have a date for tomorrow! ]:)

Trust me in this, it is all downhill from here. Good luck, mate!

So, what are you going to do to celebrate? Blow some poor defenceless animal to smithereens? Or maybe a poor defenceless Democrat...

by jdclyde

If you had said "Some poor dumb animal", it would have been the same either way!

Bar hopping last night, and going to the pub to throw in a dart tournament tonight.

Took the boys out for lunch and then had a nice nap (since GG woke me up so early).

Down hill? I am doing better than I have in a decade, so I am either to well self medicated or just not doing it right.

by jdclyde

that is way more thinking than I am looking to do right now! Glad you did the math for me!

Due to all the concern about global warming, I was banned from having candles on a cake!

:D

Or, as we say in my family, "CRRRRRAAAPPPPY Birthday!" I turned 40 last week myself, and I hope you have better friends than I do. I mean, really, the box of adult diapers was completely uncalled for. However, the tiara and the sign that says, "I'm the queen and must be obeyed" were appreciated.

by tig2

You're "older than dirt" (oh damn, where IS that post!!!)

Congrats for reaching the club. Now you don't have to apologise, just claim senility. It works!

Happy belated birthday!

by jdclyde

and already had the crappy, and ready for the birthday!

Many of my friends are one to three years older than me, so they know better than to go that route with the diapers. there would be retrobution for sure!

Happy four decades old, my queen! :D

by jdclyde

it is funny, but I can remember a time when people in their twenties seemed so old. how did they become babies? :0

by jck

At least you look younger than me!!! :D

Happy Birthday man.

I'm probably going to be moving jobs within the next month or so, so I can't come up this summer...so I hope to get up that way sometime to buy you those drinks I owe you.

Cheers bud

Did you find something in Europe?

Can you tell me how you managed it?

Friend to friend and all that...

Can you hunt deer?

by jck

The EU work authorisation is the biggest catch 22 on Earth. To get a job, you need one if you are not an EU Citizen. To get a work authorisation, you need to have job offer. To get a job offer, most employers want you to have the authorisation...etc etc...

2 opportunities I'm considering:

1) a different local county government job
2) working for the largest retailer in the world in their international coordination programming group.

Already did the phone interview for #2. I fly up there soon.

I was hoping Guinness would hire me, but no luck on a reply from Diageo for the application to be "Guinness Tasting Guru". :D

by jdclyde

hey jc, good to see you popping your head our of the shell from time to time. still making the beer?

new job? good luck with that!

by jck

Yeah...I see GG told you how much I look like if Shrek and Carlos Santana had a kid. :D

I still make beer on occassion, but I've been so busy lately at work...I just don't have time on weekends now.

Thanks...hopefully, I'll have a new job within a month. Then in a couple years, maybe i'll finally get something in Ireland. If not, I'll just have to find me an Irish girl and get married.

by tig2

But I look better give my numeric age!

2C is MUCH better than the real thing... but I still look good...

Unless you are counting the missing bits. Hmmm. Shouldn't that take something off? Beyond the bits that are gone, that is!

by jdclyde

hey ben, hope your celebration went well. this has been a good bday for me, and the best I have had for a long time. and I still have two nights of drunken debotchery left! :D

by captbilly1eye

Have a great day, dude. You deserve it!

Enjoy being 40! I did. .... or at least I think I did...

Thank GAWD no one knows how old I is!

:D

by jdclyde

Welcome to the club! :^0

Happy Birthday, JD! The best years of your life are ahead of you.

by jdclyde

The last decade or so has all been borrowed time anyway, so I am hanging on tight and going for a ride!

Even had a bud of mine that just got a bunch of new tools and is looking for a project, offer to fix my motorcycle for me! Can you say "SWEEEEET!" ?

by jdclyde

great that things are going well.

yes, things have been getting better all the time. got rid of excess baggage, and find I appreciate things in life more now. it is all how you look at things!

by jdclyde

Thanks for the wishes from all, sorry I didn't see this yesterday. [i](been having to do the "W" word a lot lately)[/i]

After bar hopping all night and stumbling home at 3:30am, it was a chore to find where that noisy cell phone was that was waking me up. [i]No, she didn't sing to me.[/i]

Anywho, so today I turn 25 (again). I was asked already if I "feel any older" and had to let them know that I am not feeling myself right now to know. :D

Well, got to get on the road. Thing One and Two are with their female-parental-unit for "her weekend" and I am going to pick them up and take them to lunch. (she is pissed, but more on that later)

Will pop back in after lunch to properly reply to people! Thanks, and Take care all!

Resolve yourself to really enjoy the next 10 years!

I'm sitting 12 years on from you and I'm glad with what I managed to cram into those 10 years.

When you hit the Half-Century mark, you'll remember when you typed out the words "so today I turn 25 (again)" and realise how young you were at that point.

And for you, that point is RIGHT NOW! Enjoy.

edited due to old age - omitting the punch line!

by jdclyde

enjoying right now!

I have been saying I turned 25 again for about a decade now, because (as anyone that knows me can attest) I am just a big kid that refuses to "grow up".

The great thing about being here, right now, is watching my boys become men. (twins, just turned 15) what could be cooler?

(now I just have to see if their girlfriends have an older sister!) ]:)

by nicknielsen

May you receive a bottle of Laphroaig 40-year-old and enough money to invite all your friends to share it with you.

40? A veritable child.

by nicknielsen

It's an Islay with a good peaty bite. The 40, now, I've heard about but never seen, and would probably have to sell the house to get it.

by jdclyde

it is funny how what we consider as young and old changes, while we stay exactly the same!

B-)

thanks..

by jdclyde

Glad you could make the party!

Just heading out for the night, and it is going to be a time!

ttfn!

jd

by tonythetiger

Once you hit the big 40, the ladies just can't seem to keep their hands off of you.

And a tip: It's not like in the movies. One at a time. Trust me on this!

:)

by jdclyde

Since the party started a day early and ended a day late, your right on time my friend!

Thanks! B-)

by jdclyde

I told Mae that my new diet plan was to lock myself in a hotel room with three women and a box of viagra. In classic Mae form, she replied "Don't do that. Why disappoint three women at the same time?".

Yeah, that one got me..... laughing.....

by dmambo

Don't feel bad for yourself. Imagine how bad I feel, my wife turned 40 last year. Pretty soon, I'll have to hoist everything up to rub her tummy.

Me, on the other hand, I think I'll still be lookin' great when I hit the big milestone of 40!!!!

HBD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by jdclyde

Everyone knows that 40 isn't old, right? :p

Now that I got rid of my 40, I am looking to trade up for two 20's! ]:) I had warned the beotch she was still under warranty! :D
