| I turned 40 at midnight didn't hit me till I seen the big "40" in my profile. Oh well just another year. They say the 40's are good years. But I think they said that when I turned 20 and 30. And will be saying that when I turn 50 and 60. Cheers! |

if your photos start looking blurry - go to the eye doc fast. Everyone told me that at 40 my eyes would go downhill quickly - and they were right! Within a year of turning 40 I needed bi-focals. Now, at almost 44 I find I am also becoming color blind to a small degree. :(

I can believe that. I already feel as if I need my eyes checked :)

I first got bi-focals (well, progressive "no-line bifocal" lenses) when I was 33. :-/ Staring at a computer screen all day doesn't help.

Happy Birthday Scott! 40 years young!
They say at 40 you start to lose something, but I can't remember what.
I will soon be hitting 50! |
