I'm turning 50 this week....

[Anonymous]

... and it doesn't seem like a big deal at all. I keep waiting for the skies to part, the trees to bow down... who knows what. People make such a declaration about this milestone, but it's really just another day, just another year that I'm lucky to be alive, healthy and doing well.

Even getting my AARP card in the mail didn't phase me. My DH had a quick snicker, and then I tossed it with all of the other junk mail that came that day.

I'm surprised that I feel this way. Anyone else?

Happy B-day! So you get an AARP card at 50? Not at 65 or 62, when many people retire?

Keep the AARP card. Discounts at movies, Dunkin Donuts, hotels, etc. happy Birthday.

Good that you are positive about it. I hate it, feels like it's all over to me. I look at all the old geezers hobbling about and don't want to go there. How to exit gracefully though? I have no idea, but need to rustle up a plan.

Happy birthday. I am 54 and perfectly fine with it. What else can you do? I am in the best shape of my life since having my kids - am running and rowing with a bunch of great women. To the PP who sounds so down, get out and have some fun!

50! OMG! So old!

Happy birthday.

It's the birthday girl here. Thank you all for your comments and good wishes.

To the PP who said "what else can you do" but accept it, yes I agree. I'm actually in better shape now than I have been in years and feel lucky to be able to say that.

I guess I was referring more to the anticipation/ dread/ build-up of the actual day. TURNING 50 is, so many would assume, such a milestone. But really, it's not. You still get up in the morning, take a shower, make breakfast, go to work.... life just goes on, you know?

Happy Birthday, OP. I turned 50, Monday. Received my AARP card in Saturday's mail. I laughed, heck hope there are some great discounts with it. I don't feel old, don't look "middle-aged," I'm in great shape, have a hot sex life, and am experiencing self-confidence at LAST.

I expect that the 50s will be a rocking good time for me. I hope you have a blast!

OP again. I got mine on Saturday too. Hah! We must be part of a mass mailing of people who were born the first week of August in 1962! So glad you had a terrific birthday. And I agree about the self-confidence part. That is definitely one of the best aspects of being 50.

Keep the AARP card. Swallow your pride, and you will get amazing discounts on so many things. We have saved hundreds of dollars in 2 years. Never book a hotel room without applying the AARP discount, etc.....

I turn 50 next week! Got my card, too! I am trying to be positive, but realize it is not the actual turning 50 that is a problem, but more of what it represents, parents dying (in my case mom with alzheimers in a nursing home), my dad so sad, friends getting serious illnesses, etc. Ok, enough of a buzz kill! I think I look pretty good, too!! People have no idea how old I am.

Dear Young One,

They tried to send me an AARP card when I was 28.


Happy Birthday! Drink up and demand some good sex from your significant other!

57-year-old here. I started rowing last year and I love it! Folks, consider rowing as an exercise - not so hard on the joints, being part of a team, and getting out on the river. Try it!
