Wow, I'm 49 years and 364 days old today.....why does that sound better than 50? My girls are taking me to Olive Garden tonight for my birthday dinner...I think I'll have fettuccine Alfredo with Italian sausage....mmmm, mmmm, good.
I had originally planned to have my 50 pearls of wisdom done on my birthday but not sure if I'll make it...if not, I'm sure the blogging world will continue to revolve :-) Sooooooo, here's the latest installment:
31. Regardless of my compelling arguments, the Department of Motor Vehicles will not accept CHROME as a valid hair color on my license!
32. No matter where you go, there you are.
35. Bubble wrap will entertain Jumble Mash more than whatever it was protecting :-)
37. Our elderly should be treated and respected as a valuable national resource...not as an inconvenience...and no, I'm not saying that cause I'm old :-)
38. Never argue with the doctor about having to wait so long until AFTER the physical is finished...especially if you are due for a prostate exam!!!
39. No woman wants the perfect man, they all want a good fixer-upper ! "If I could just change this about him..."
40. Murphy's Law is universal...and doesn't give a crap how good your attorney is at finding loop holes.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)

Happy Birthday Chief Dad. Welcome to the next decade. It's not so bad. Enjoy your dinner and see if they give a senior discount, haha!
The feeling u get from doing a random act of kindness is awesome..as far as men, I and other women are lookin for one who is trustworthy, loyal, has integrity, can say "I am sorry", is sentimental and romantic...oh and a great listener...That isn't asking too much is it? Have a great b'day!.
There's no doubt about you enjoying the meal since everything is good at Olive Garden. I am enjoying your list a lot and I feel you pain trying to complete it.
Odie
yum Olive Garden and i agree with everyhting you said but by far the best is Bubble Wrap i could play for hours with it. maybe JM and i should have a playdate bring on the bubble wrap
@Barb...thanks and I'll check out the discount situation :-)
KBF...hell yes that's too much to ask for!!! I'm about 50% of that...trustworthy, loyal and integrity are no problem...sentimental, romantic, great listener...not so much :-) I left out the I'm sorry because that presumes I'm wrong!!! Thanks for the birthday wishes :-)
@Odie...I checked out your daughter's blog...very nice and I'm sure you're proud :-) Glad you're enjoying the list...10 more to go :-)
@Becca...sure thing, I'll even buy the bubble wrap!
"Chrome." That's genius.
Bubble Wrap is better than therapy and much much cheaper!!! I know what I'd choose. Enjoy your dinner with your girls.
And I just want a man who gets me and can make me laugh, oh and can put up shelves, cook, clean etc etc............am I asking too much?? lmao ;)
RAK are fantastic... receiving them and giving them. Bubble wrap keeps up all entertained even you dad :P
ummmm ummmmm Olive Garden! i thought the girls were grounded? but i have been on pain meds all week...
i would also get the sausage/potato soup stuff and even tho' i worked there 15 yrs ago, i cannot remember what it is called...

@dbs...welcome and thanks for stopping by...and chrome sounds so much better than gray...kinda high-speed :-)
@Lyndylou...I get you, I can make you laugh, I can put up shelves, I can cook (more or less) and I can clean...depending on the etc, etc...I may be the man for you :-)
@Bubbles....yep, they sure are...and I might be guilty of popping a few bubbles :-)
@Bruce...those two years will go by in the blink of an eye my friend :-) Thanks for the bday wishes.
A very happy birthday to you Dad. Make sure your girls spoil you (I know they will).
Happy Birthday!!! I like Jumble Mash also enjoy the bubble wrap more than what it is protecting.
nice blog man, just subbed to it.

Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoyed a delicious celebratory dinner with your girls. Here is to a great year for you : )
You are my Yoda. I mean no age offense by that. I just appreciated all the sage like advice. Happy 49th forever.
Have a great birthday! Eat a breadstick for me, will ya? :)
hed
I know I told you earlier on "words" but I will say it again here.
Hapy Birthday Dad.
Hope you have an amazing day
Hugs & Smooches
Happy Birthday sir! Hope you have a great day and enjoy yourself.
I like your list, but I need to disagree with #39 - only because some of us figured out a long time ago that you can't change anyone and instead search for the "model" that is best suited for eachother. Who wants a fixer upper. Not me. I am too dang busy fixing me. :)
Again - Have a spectacular day and enjoy your fettucine. Yum!
Happy Birthday Chief aka dad! Hope it's a good one and there was lots of cake :)
Yes! Play date with Becca!
Happy Birthday and after reading JM post today you should be totally ashamed of yourself for embrassing her like that
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Hope that you have an awesome day today!!! Hugs and lots of love to you!
happy birthday! hope it was awesome (although, with that awesome sword AND olive garden, how could it not be awesome!).
Happy birthday Chief! Hope it's a great one and like me, don't do anything for the rest of the day! :)
Happy 10th anniversary of your 40th birthday! I have yet to change the hair color on my driver's license. Like a cop would notice that anyway. BTW, I like #32 and #33 the best. We are big believers in "paying it forward", good karma and all that.
Happy Birthday! I'd be wary of seniors discounts though. My dad was pumped when he turned 50 because he thought he was eligible for seniors discounts on the ski lifts. BUT they had raised the 'seniors' category to 60 in the week before he turned 50. Obviously too many fit 50 year olds cutting up the slopes!
Happy birthday Chief, enjoy the dinner with your girls. :)
