Answer:On a good day, lipstick.
Member Since: Jun 24, 2004
I turned forty today.
I really don't know how I feel about it.
I have not the words.
Not upset. I was very upset about 30 - in fact I basically insisted that I was 29, for the last eleven years. I've promised to embrace 40, and not be so juvenile (oh, that'll happen!!!!).
Must keep rock'n'rollin' though.
So, when is it when you wake up in the morning an feel like a grown-up?
I know I have all the usual responsibilities - car, job, family, house, garden.....etc..., but I still have this evil little teenager in my head...
Unless the old adage is true: The difference between men and boys is the price of the toys.

Oct 26, 2005 02:13 pm I am 38, I personally have never let the age thing get to me, my wife did when she turned forty last year tho...jeezuz...
I started feeling old around the same time the first kid came...then older when we decided that my wife should stay home with the kids and I should be the sole breadwinner...then older when we bought a bigger house...now younger that I know somebody else at HRC is older than me :-)
Happy birthday.
Oct 26, 2005 02:21 pm I look forward to celebrating my 1/4 of a century old birthday. =)
Go eat some black licorice icecream, go #2, and show your wife how it colors the toiletwater.
That'll get you feeling young again. =)

Oct 26, 2005 02:30 pm 'er indoors will never go for me geting a pointy car...you know, a CRISIS!!!! And the 19 year old girlfriend is out...(basically because I have apparently become completely invisible to any female under 25).
Yeah, dB-Wan. I know what you mean about being the provider/father....It does make you feel all responsible, but I can't get my head around it.
Dealing with my moody, selfish-acting, pouty, 14 year old daughter this weekend did make me feel a bit grown up (no, I'm not any fun...).
However, on the toys front, I'm gonna go buy me a toob amp this week! (the little baby Epiphone Valve Junior 5w). Another shiny new box in the garage.....
Oct 26, 2005 02:31 pm HUH?? lol i've never heard of that before!
happy birthday mate, it's just numbers, have you had your midlife crisis yet? that's the next milestone dude....i'm still worrying about kidney stones, them things scare the bejeebus outta me. and yes you've probably got a net worth about 5 times mine...bah more numbers!
cheers!

Oct 26, 2005 02:32 pm Happy Birthday TallChap, hope you have a great day! Turning 30 never bothered me, neither did 40, probably some of the best years of my life, getting older is what you make of it! :)
I turned 54 in Sept, and I still haven't grown up so I can't help ya with that question, I still like new toys, still rockin' (at least trying too) and all the things I liked when I was younger... well most. LOL

Oct 26, 2005 02:46 pm It's Colon Blow! :-D
You'd have to eat over 1,000,000 bowls of the leading bran cereal to equal the colon cleansing power of just one dose of Colon Blow!
Happy bidet, TallChap. You're 10 years ahead of me (I'll turn 30 on the Ides of March), so I'll be looking for pointers on how to handle myself at each deca-milestone from here on out.
Oct 26, 2005 02:52 pm That's exactly what we call it at the gym too (every fighter I know takes it)...and it is, dude, when your morning dumps fill the bowl, oh God that feels good, the first time I dosed it I lost 10 lbs.
Remember when Elvis died? He had like 45 lbs of compacted waste in his system, he died from pushing too hard cuz he could only **** spaghetti strings of ****...this stuff is how you get it out...I feel sooooo good after my monthly cleansing...the avergae person in their 30's has 20 lbs or so in there...or more depending on diet.
jeezuz, didn't we just have this conversation in the moderators forum? Yes, we did...well, us mods/admins anyway...
Oct 26, 2005 03:00 pm Oh gol, that's horrible. Reminds me of this herbal tea my mother used to drink. We called it "tornado tea"... you'd get cramps and stuff if you hadn't drank it before and ate poorly... you'd be running to the crapper like every half an hour for a good day or so...lol.
My bro-in-law actually managed to break his ankle when he drank that stuff and sat on the toilet so long... that his leg fell asleep. He stood up and put weight on it and "snap!". AHahahaha
Oct 26, 2005 03:04 pm no, no, no...Aloe Ease isn't a "laxative", there is no running to the crapper...it doesn't work like that, it's a natural cleansing, there is as much warning as with any poop, just have extra reading with you cuz it may take a bit longer per trip...but it'll feel great...after you are cleaned out (a couple weeks of double the doses they say you need) your body starts to actually be able to use the nutrients that are in the food you eat, which it couldn't before because of all the compacted **** in your body that was stopping it from being absorbed.
OK, I am gonna get REALLY gross for a minute to stress my point. I saw completely undegested food come outta me during my first dose, and it was food which I hadn't eaten for 6 friggin months (it was still THAT recognizable) THAT is how much that compacted waste affects your disgestive system...I have heard stories of even longer that...
Oct 26, 2005 03:29 pm This tea wasn't a laxative either. It was part of a "cleanse burn build" nutrition plan thingy... The tea was where you get rid of all that stuff sitting around in your poo-tubes...lol. Nastiest smelling underwear burning stuff you'd ever see... It was violent though. Evidently they came out with a 'gentler' version later on. I'll have to find out what they call it now...lol. Yeah, the first time I took it, I lost 10lbs that day...lol. Which was a lot for a 130lb kid at the time...hahahaha.
Oct 26, 2005 03:31 pm heheheh.
I believe the Tea you are referring to is something Noize2u takes to clean his pipes (yep, were so old we compare pipe-cleaning remedies) I prefer Aloe Ease. It's some nasty tasting stuff, but man does it feel good to pinch off a 3-4 foot loaf in the morning :-)

Oct 26, 2005 03:32 pm Happy birthday, TallChap ! Musicians seem to stay younger longer, and get older sooner than anybody else . I will tip a pint to you after they let me out of this office my good man... cheers !
heh When/if I turn 40 in four more years, I'm gon'na be all like... "Yay, I made it !" Truly a friggin' miracle !
Oct 26, 2005 03:34 pm Amen, brotha, every day above ground for me is borrowed time.
Oct 26, 2005 06:18 pm i heard that stuff about stuff building up in your colon was a myth. i actually researched this because one time i was concerned about it. a lot of apparently reputable med sites were saying it was all made up, it was nonsense, it helps to sell cleansing products. but the best thing i saw was this sentence: your colon is an organ that is designed with one sole function: to clean itself. it musters all its resources to take care of that all-important process. and yeah, stuff can build up, but when you get down into microscopic scales, the body has biochemical means to get that stuff out.
really, how could it break?
what a weird side topic within this birthday thread. haha. happy birthday dude. i might have evolved the ability not to care about getting older. i did when i was 22-24. those were the big years of worry. then, bam. i figured 'hey, what the hell man.' i still can get girls. thats the main thing that scares me, though, is when and if that ever goes away. cause damn. part of me wants to be married, part of me never does. people think im talking about an internal conflict when i say that, but im talking about actual parts.
Oct 26, 2005 06:19 pm db i just read your post 3 posts up; are you SURE you werent just seeing things?
Oct 26, 2005 06:29 pm Forty, take something that claims to clean your bowels out and see if you don't crap more than you normally would. Then you may tell the "reputable medical sites" to shove it up their proverbial crappers. =)
Modern medicine and alternative medicine have been at odds since they both became known. Modern medicine doesn't like it when people try to treat themselves because they don't make payments on their mercedes. Alternative medicine freaks think that modern medicine people are stupid and are in the pockets of drug manufacturers....lol.
Oct 26, 2005 06:33 pm me and my friends were gonna get a bunch of that stuff, stock up on some good high dollar toilet paper, and have a poo party! never got around to it though...
i like Quary cereal because it's crunchy!
Oct 26, 2005 06:43 pm forty, there is also medical studies such as those conducted on Elvis Presley and John Wayne (as well as many others) that show the exact opposite. I know what I saw with myself, good weight loss, feeling MUCH better and some massive poops...
for every theory, somebody will say it's bogus, I am a firm believer that this is true, I actually was almost hospitalized last year for digestive problems and this stuff made me feel soooooo much better.
Of course, a lot is dependent on one's diet as well.
Oct 26, 2005 07:29 pm This interests me (can you tell who is already over 40?)
Without being too graphic, are the poops good poops? That is, do they have some form and substance to them, or are they loose and runny?
I have pretty good poops now, I'm always looking for ways to make them better.
Oct 26, 2005 07:31 pm Oh now, very good poops...very good poops indeed. Poops to brag about...my wife got sick of "hey, hon, come check THIS out"...she never once came and looked...chicks...sheesh...no appreciation for a good poop.

Any other nerds feel free to correct me :)
Oct 26, 2005 08:11 pm i took aloe vera juice once but nothing dramatic happened. i took a lot of it. the evidence on the sites i saw was pretty convincing. specifically, they came down hard against the john wayne thing and the elvis thing. i dont know what to believe. i know about what kenn is saying about the two medicines being at odds, but not every doctor is going to try to pull the wool over your eyes you know. some reputable info is bound to be reputable. the same cannot be said about the alt medicine people, because they have thier backs up against the wall and NEED to sell to survive. docs dont have that prob. people will always need docs. for this reason you cant really trust the alt med people. i personally would like alt med products to be reviewed by the FDA. like supplements and stuff, you know. that way we could have some clear idea about what's what. but that industry and the statements it makes are totally completely unregulated.
the thing you have to look at to see if impaction occurs and is long lasting is data from gastroenterologists, end of story. those barium enemas and stuff have the ability to absolutely illuminate whats in there. so if there's an answer out there, one should, i think, not look at autopsy results of questionable origin but should look at medical journals. specifically in gastroenterology. its the only real way to know. unless you see it firsthand. which i never have.

Oct 26, 2005 09:14 pm I cant believe I just read through this entire posting. Man indeed you can see who is over forty, or very close!
By the way, HAPPY B-DAY TALLCHAP
And my feeling on it as I near the 50 mark is that you can control at least the mental part of it. I dont think about how old I am. I can still hang with my kids and there friends and not be refered to as an old fart. Yes I enjoy going to the same concerts my kids do! As well as listening to the same music. And in turn they listen to what I recomend as well. I love my kids for being who they are. That and being a Scout Master of a great Boy Scout troop helps keep what I call the PeterPan syndrome alive for me. I dont ever wanna grow up!
Yes I do the fatherly things like punish them when they are bad, dole out money when needed, feed and clothe them, keep a roof over their heads. But I also like doing things you would not expect to see someone my age doing. A near 50 year old man enjoying a Slipknot concert, scary isnt it. Getting slugged in the pit at a Korn concert, and not slugging back. That is the fun of being an adult, doing most things I like as well as what the kids like, and truly being able to say I enjoyed it.
And ya, the tea thing. Its fun trying to stay healthy, even though it may take years to undo all the unhealthy things I have done.
Oct 26, 2005 09:29 pm man i always wanted to get a internal plumbing cleaned out, i forget what the procedure is called, they shove a hose up there and suck all the poo out..

Oct 26, 2005 11:16 pm No, wait till ya gotta go for your first colonascopy!!! That'll change your mind on keeping the lower section of your body stout and clean.
Can you say, UP PERISCOPE!
Oct 26, 2005 11:36 pm Well, forty, I can't say I have, or even will, study many medical journals, what I can say is that last year when I was nearly hospitalized with digestive problems my doctor told me basically the same thing I have been saying here, but never turned me on to Aloe Ease, just said to eat more veggies. When I started training I got to know a lot of professional fighters, and believe it or not, some of those people are insane health nuts, very studied and very knowledgeable in many subjects. My instructor turned me on to Aloe Ease, since then I found that every fighter that the conversation of health has come up with mentions that they use it all the time.
I, on the whole, am very leary of the alternative medicine myself...but this aspect of the human animal has proven itself to me in technicolor with my own eyes and in my own body...as well as the bodies of everybody I train with.
Oct 27, 2005 04:39 am drink pure aloe juice. it sucks but you mix it with grape juice. veggies are imprtant. i recommend broccoli and BEETS im drunk
Oct 27, 2005 06:35 am I mix Aloe Ease with orange juice, and it's not pure Aloe, it's a mixture of Aloe and tons of other extracts and stuff...

i was having all sorts of digestive problems back in the mid 90's had the colonascopy done and the other procedure going down your throat.. they never found anything.. it ended up being all emotional stuff.. depression/stress can put a hurting on your body..
ohh yeah happy birthday tallchap!
Oct 27, 2005 10:22 am during all my digestive issues I never had one of those, I did have the Barium thing tho...what a nasty experience THAT is...pretty fascinating though if they let you watch what they are watching.
But boy, when Barium wants to come out you better be damn close to a bathroom...cuz it ain't stoppin'
