Hey Jim, hope this day brings you everything you deserve! ;D
(Wait a minute :o..............maybe I better just say "I hope you have a great day!") ;)

Happy Birthday! :)

Thanks for the BD wishes everyone. I have been bad and not been on here for a while. Yep, 53 today. I don't know if it is a mid-life thingy or what but during the summer months I tried to start pushing back on time and aging and started running (and I hate to run). Well, 3 weeks ago I ran my first half marathon. I ran the whole thing without stopping (NOT VERY FAST). It made me feel good but I discovered I can't slow down time or the aging thing either. But it feels good knowing I have friends all over the world and we all have something in common - the love of HONEYBEES.

Thank you.
Jim

That, and the fact that most of us should probably start running as well!  :-[ :D :laugh:

When I hit 50, I realized I'm not going any younger, so I decided to go wild.
So, I started keeping bees. :D

Happy birthday Jim, wish you all the best in the second half of your life  :)

  LOL I agree!  Keeping bees is much better exercise than running!
   The age thing started hitting me about 45 or 46..  and in only 5 years there is quite a difference. Two years ago I was carrying railroad ties on my shoulder..  This year I am hard pressed to lift one end to get a chain on it..   All the while the WHISTLE and then the CRACK of the whip is getting m,ore adamant behind me.. I think she wants me to get as much done as possible before I croak..   While I am trying to stop doing so much and relax a bit before I croak!!   My intention was to go sit by the window and watch for my wifes friends to walk by...





   And of course they did..  so I was lining upo the shot, when I realized what the white pristine snow across the pond was about to look like.. and I thought about how happy THAT would make the wife.. I could hear the sound of the whip whistling through teh air, and the loud CRACK.. So I put my gun away...  sat down to read the forums... and I get this EMail....   about this POOR POOR girl that just wants to come to the US so she can get her eyes fixed..  So Deprived and nearly starved to death.. 







    I figure at 50, this would be either a fantastic means of staying in shape, or a fun way to commit suicide?


    You do know I'm kidding right?   I'd never subject that poor girl to the wrath of a woman as mean as my wife!!   :laugh:
   Keep on Keepin on Jim!
