So, I'm turning 41 this Friday and I'm starting to feel a tiny bit old. Soon I will be setting up a rocking chair on the front porch, buying a cane and screaming "geroff my lawn" at kids.

Of course, the fact that a third child of mine made it's way into adulthood last week (I even made her this lovely cake) is a good reminder that I'm not getting any younger. That, and the fact that I'm getting a grandson this august.

So, in order to forget about me turning into an old fart, I will just do what all the cool kids are doing these days: a giveaway train!

Thanks!

I've taken a habit of making these elaborate cakes for my kid's birthdays and every year after spending hours making those elaborate pieces, I swear it's the last time I ever do that... then I see their face when I pull it out and it makes it all worthwhile.

Plus, now they're expecting something special on every birthday, so they would be disappointed getting an ordinary cake. :P

Unless you fall asleep in the middle of the ride, then it can be stretched out on longer periods of time.

It's one of these case where I would appreciate having the possibility to write a note so I could remember the reason. I'm sure you did something that ticked me off, but I'd be hard pressed to tell you what exactly.

Either you broke a rule, you're using a auto-join script or there's been some other thing that happened that got me angry. Sorry I can't be more specific.

It was delicious tasting too. I added coffee to both the cake mix and the frosting.

I know I'm not THAT old, I actually like making fun of my age.

Could be. Depends on how you handle the grandchildren. D

I love to quote what the priest said at one of my kid's baptism:

"The grandparent's role is to allow your children to do everything they forbid you to do when you were a kid."

I'm actually 20, twice. Now I just need to get my wife to understand that it's okay if I bring home a couple on 20-year old girls.

Can she convince you to let her bring home a couple of 20 year-old boys? Then you can all share!

We all know women just stop aging at age 30 and only grow in experience from that point on. Didn't your parent teach you anything?

I was conceived as a result of an accident involving a radioactive marshmallow and a Japanese demon, both of whom abandoned me immediately after my creation and thus I have no parents. Thanks for bringing up the hurtful past. :/ Now you definitely owe me the uncle story I asked for.

Ohhhh... I didn't know. So sorry.

Well, you know how these uncle stories go... it always end with the drunk uncle knocking over the Christmas tree after trying to grope that cute cousin you wish weren't family so you could ask her out on a date.

Cousins are only off-limits in those parts of the world where the culture hasn't caught up with Science. (Or where they don't know who is related to whom because of all the adultery.)

Depends on earlier relations between cousins too. I'd feel extremly uncomfortable if asked out by cousin I treated like sister/brother

Maybe I should forget the cane and get a shotgun instead. Or one of those cane with a hidden rifle inside, for a best of both worlds approach.

I started with the TRS-80, pretty much in the same era. But that's what got me hooked and allowed me to grow up to be a software developer.

You are not really old, you just had children young. That said, you're(soon) technically a grandpa.
But age doesn't really matter if you're a zomby, right? ;)
