Tominator Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Turning 30....advice needed I didn't start feeling my age until 40. At 30, my wife and I were producing so many babies, buying a house, starting new jobs, etc. etc. I don't even remember much of 30 to be honest.

Guest Andrea Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Turning 30....advice needed I've only been in my thirties for a couple of years now. Don't really feel like it at all. But if I could go back...... I'd wait til I was 30 to have kids. I'd finish college. I'd have dated more. I'd have started hunting when I was a teenager. Oh well. I would just say that now you should savor every moment with your loved ones, drink and party less ( if you do that sorta thing), fish and hunt more and take a kid with ya, slow down and enjoy life. (It is going by too fast for me!!) Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Turning 30....advice needed True happiness in life will never be found at the end of the statement "If only I could get a/an XXXX, I would be happy" or "If only I could XXXX, I would be happy". Enjoy each seond of life.....just as vacation passes too quickly and we sit back at work wondering where the time went....life will pass even faster. Happy birthday.

I didn't really notice much of a difference until I passed the 50 mark. I still sleep most nights without a bathroom break too. Todd, you're falling apart man. Happy birrthday and don't sweat 30. It's nothing. You don't have to start thinking about age at least until your mid 40's. Just take good care of yourself and you'll be able to do just about anything you want. The most important thing is to try and stay in good health so you can continue to enjoy the quality of life that you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Re: Turning 30....advice needed Now is the time to start being smarter about how you treat yourself. Learn about good diet, get regular cardiovasular exercise and you can extend your years in the field. And find a great micro brewery beer to enjoy.

christsavedme Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Re: Turning 30....advice needed Well I can't say that I have any advice for you seeing how I have a couple more years of the 20's. Just live it one day at a time and thank God every morning for blessing you with the breath of life that very day. Happy birthday and God bless!
