Birthday blues: women who are over 30

I took sick leave yesterday, and stayed in bed much part of the day. Food poisoning is not that pleasant and I had to stay near the bathroom most of the time. As much as I want to curse the cockles I had for buka puasa or breaking fast last night at my mom's house, I am also thankful for the welcome break from work and the office. Of course, I wish I was on vacation somewhere in the Mediterranean...

But staying bed, and sleeping away is just as blissful - errr in between purging.

Anyways, I logged on to this website my good friend The Athenian Monk sent me...

You are 34 years old.
You are 419 months old.
You are 1,824 weeks old.
You are 12,764 days old.
You are 306,359 hours old.
You are 18,381,582 minutes old.
You are 1,102,894,932 seconds old.

There are 20 days till your next birthday on which your cake will have 35 candles...

Those 35 candles produce 35 BTUs,
or 8,820 calories of heat (that's only 8.8200 food Calories!)
You can boil 4.00 US ounces of water with that many candles.

Hahaha...probably I'm just having a birthday blues :)

Yippeee...I'm not having a midlife crisis just yet!

Anyways, received this very interesting piece from a friend today...

Here is a piece written by Andy Rooney

Andy Rooney says, "As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't h esitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They always know. A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes , we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.
