What to do on a birthday ending in Zero

I’ve always wanted to go to Egypt but with all the travel advisories it doesn’t seem safe. I’ll settle for Hawaii instead, one day.

I’m turning 30 at the end of the year and it doesn’t seem possible. Not that 30 is old. Just that how the hell did I make it to three decades!?

Be glad you're not me. I'll be 50 in April.

Such things should not be allowed.

Turning 30 doesn't hurt. You just won't want sex as much as you used to.
 
I ran into someone I know from high school (who was a year ahead of me) who said, "I can't believe I'm 41." I said, "I'm turning 40 next month." Then he said, "We're old".

My thought: No. 70, 80, 90. That's old. 40 isn't old. I get sick of hearing it is whenever I run into people my age who I used to know. "We're getting old!" No we're not.
 
I tell you what, in all seriousness, if money is tight & a trip is out of the question, usually for less than 100 bucks, you could experiment with a sensory deprivation tank experience. I've been thinking about trying it. Take a trip away from being YOU, because that's the best way to see yourself objectively. It may not seem like much, but it might be fun or interesting, it may give you a laugh, or be more meaningful. Who knows?

I turn 40 next month, and I was planning on doing what I normally do - go out and get some dinner and drinks. But, that sensory deprivation tank idea sounds really good! It's something I've always wanted to do, and I may look into where to do it around here. Thanks for the suggestion!
 
My film of choice, that we're watching Sunday is The Maltese Falcon.

Since my birthday is on a Monday, I'd rather not do a weeknight for the celebrating. Now I'm figuring out the '40s playlist to put together for the background. All selected by me.
