Jean-- it seems like your 98.5% closer to being 39 but I may be off by a decimal or two...mostly
Happy Birthday To YOU

Thanks, Ed. I decided not to bring the extra two days until my actual birthday in to play, so as not to make the math problem any more confusing.
captbob , I was trying to KISS by saying one year in the life of a dog, is equal to seven human years. I realize there are variables when applying that rule, mostly dependent on the dog's breed and size, probably even more so by the amount of care that they receive. (I did not build a swimming pool for my dog, lol.)
Lucy is a Pit mix (closest thing on the link you posted was American Staffordshire, no pit bulls), over 50 lbs. So when she is ten, she'll only be the equivalent of either 65 or 66 years of a human's life. CFE!! She's older than me, alright?
Okay, I give up. You are right, I am 29 years old - on Saturday...
Insert captbob's graphic of slamming head into desk X
here, LOL
Okay, that reminds me of a joke, and I owe Tela one.
Jewish Wisdom
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview. "Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?" "Morris Feinberg," he replied. "Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For 67 years." "67 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?" "I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews, and the Muslims." (A wonderful thought, especially now!!!!!) "I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop." "I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man." "I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests." And finally "I pray that everyone will be happy". "How do you feel after doing this for 67 years?" "Like I'm talking to a brick wall!"
FYI, going off topic, which we so frequently do here, can be a wonderful thing. So easily distracted, anybody else admit to ADD?

Thank you, James. I don't mind it a little early, but let's not do multiple posts again. It confuses some people! Besides, one birthday a year is enough... Who started that multiple Bday thing anyway ? Those were some profound mathematics used to calclate (calculate) your age. Me 58 next year.

No, I believe you will be 59. Ya cannot beat the clock, ya cannot change math!
You will get what you deserve in February...

Thanks for the BD wishes, Ed. (It's tomorrow.) Yeah, and some restaurants give senior citizen discounts, too. Think I'll stick to a maximum of just one per year, lol.
