I am 50 years old today
It feels so strange, how can I possibly be 50 when I feel about 28? Time flies.

2. Happy Birthday.
FWIW, as best as I can remember, 50's are a great decade. Enjoy them because you're right; the years zip by.

50 is a great age.

When you hit 90...now THAT'S when to start complaining about how old you are and how the time has flown.

39. When I hit 90, the only thing I'll be complainin' about...
.
... is how EVERY SINGLE PERSON around me smells like poop alla time.
.
Even when they're not there.
.
Get off my lawn.
.
.
And change your damned drawers.
.
Happy 50th.
.
And don't stop enjoying all you can while you can -- you only have
about 40 years or so 'til you can start complaining about all the
above, too.
.

14. And the older we get the faster it flies. Such a cliche, but true.

Happy birthday, Aquarian! (not that I believe in that stuff) :-)

How can I be 60 when I about 28? Except that I take more naps. And forget stuff. And take more naps.

34. I'd been ignoring them until Anthem/Blue Cross raised my rates
Now I'm looking into whether AARP can help me find less expensive health insurance

33. You are just a Whippersnapper!
I know that because I am almost 4 years older than you.
And I feel like I'm just a kid (in a creaky old body).
Have a happy, happy birthday. Enjoy the wisdom you have achieved.
And get off my lawn!

42. I don't feel 28
but I remember being unhappier when I was 28. I had no job and I was afraid that life was gonna suck. It has sucked, but now I am used to it/resigned to the suckitude, and it's not THAT bad.
