A first, and a last. Likely the largest, most significant planned day in my lifespan. That was today. Quite a day.

That I am fortunate to have this day is such an outrageous understatement. I have no idea how it was granted to me. I’ve waited 43 years for it, or at least about the 35 years I’ve been aware such a possibility could exist.

And today was that day.

So yes, I am thankful, as I am every single day. But today is really quite remarkable in the span of the approximately 32,185 days I am likely to live."

I hate being teased like this.

Help me get through the anticipation by guessing what might have happened.

See my previous post…

“TOM GOT LAID!”

Hmmmm…a theme.

  1. He got laid.
  2. He got laid last November.

He’s denied #1.

approximately 32,185 days I am likely to live

Maybe he reached half way to 32,185 days and is now middle aged
.

Getting married?

Given his currnet views toward dating I doubt it. But there is “Love at first sight”.

Well, Tom IS a romantic and he may be thinking the BFA is WM.

9

Nope. God forbid (for the sake of the rest of humanity- one of me is probably too much.)

10

BFA and I went our seperate ways quite some time ago. Still buddies though.

11

In the grand scheme of things it is utterly, 100% insignificant.

To me it is huge though.

12

Oops, sorry to hear that!

13

Oh, no worries. Our schedules just didn’t mix well. Great girl though and a lot of fun times. Like I said, we are still friends. I saw her last week at Starbucks. She may work for Northwest depending on the outcome of the flight attendant strike.

Beat Frankie A. to the stop sign today? :slight_smile:

I am middle aged, almost-

I took one of those on-line survye/test things that predicts your life span. Now given, I should be dead at least three, maybe as many as five, times over by now.

That fact notwithstanding the survey said I should live to be 88. Now I’m 43 and my B-day is 11/25.

So, I guess I am 15,695 days old.

If I live to 88 that is 32,120 days, that means the half-way point is 16,160 days.

Today, somewhat oddly, I am exactly 365 days or 1 year away from that half way point of my life. Interesting coincidence. I didn’t realize that until just now…

That will never happen…
