Felix sit natalis dies to the BBE!


My favourite IMOM is celebrating a birthday today ... one that's dangerously c-c-close to ... old, so I thought I should pass on some of the deep, profound and inspirational things I've learned since advancing in years myself. In no particular order:

1. Don't pierce your tragus
2. Don't go to Disney World in August

Well, that about covers it for me. Here's what some other (slightly more poetic) guys had to offer ...

* Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must. ~JW von Goethe
* Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts. ~C Dickens
* Every man is a damn fool for at least 5 minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit. ~E Hubbard
* All wisdom consists in caring immensely for a few right things, and not caring a straw about the rest. ~J Buchan
* Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Unknown

Oh, and maybe have whatever he's drinking ...

Photobucket ... wha?! It was just a suggestion!! *grin*

Even still, I appreciate all your pearls of wisdom Lux. Jean-Luc and I both think you're Number One ... oh wait, sorry, that's Riker! :-P

Oh Happy Birthday BWSRN!!! Hope you have a wonderful day..I'm sure Lux's words of wisdom will help you grow into a responsible mature adult. :)

Say what you will 'bout my J-LP *sigh* but I'd happily share my tapioca and green jello with him while we reminisce about our favourite episodes on the porch swing at the ol' folks home!

I think he feels the same way ... looks like he's challenging you to an arm wrestle, BWSRN! *grin*

BWSRN said...

Thanks for the birthday wishes Wendy. If mature and responsible is the desired result, Lux has her work cut out for her cuz I'll fight her every step of the way. *grin*

I didn't know you had a move planned in the next 6 months Lux. You'd better not waste any time ... the Cap isn't getting any younger! Arm wrestle? Frankly he looks to me like he's asking for a hand up outta his rocking chair!

Lux Solis said...

It's one of his (many) romantic gestures -- pretends he needs a 'hand up' then tugs me down to sit on his lap, wheeling us to the rec hall where he asks (in that irresistable accent) if I'll do him the honour of being his bingo partner. *whistful* Course I say yes! How could I turn down the man who single handedly saved the free world on a weekly basis?! ;-P

BWSRN said...

Under the B ... Before you commit yourself to a life of wheelchairing leisure with JLP

Under the I ... I'd stock up on Geritol, rice pudding and Viagra

Under the N ... Never mind that you'll be wiping drool from his chin on a daily basis

Under the G ... Go right ahead and be swayed by a man with an accent

Under the O ... Oh wait, I get it, you're just putting in a few years so you can claim rich widow status!

Now THAT makes sense Miz Gold-digger. lmao
