Another Grouch qualifies for 50+
My oldest daughter turns 50 today. She doesn't really qualify for 50+ because she doesn't bicycle. I just wanted to gloat.

Fifty is nifty and 59 is fine so put a heel to the wheel, the pedal to the metal, and laissez les bon temps roulez! Happy Birthday, RetroDaughter!

Where are the pics of your daughter?
You must be older than dirt. I'm 70 and my oldest is only 47 -- but my great-granddaughter will be 1 next week, so maybe that makes me old.

Retro Grouch you sound so young: how can you have a 50 year old daughter?
Aging is not for the weak!
But I would not know what would be a good alternative!
Congratulations in any case--enjoy your family!

All our kids are in their fifties . . . who are you calling 'old'?
