Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | I got a lot of insults when I turned 30 and the rest when I turned 40; then was hit with more humiliation on 50 so when I just hit 60, theres nothing left they can do to me but they tried their darnest anyway. I have this floor to ceiling balloon arrangement with a huge 60 as it's centerpiece. My wife made sure she put it on display in the restaurant and now it's found it's way to my office so all my clients can ask me "whose birthday is it!". She's 10 years younger than me so you know what they say about payback !!!
