Yep, Karen's on a roll until Feburary 10 when her odometer passes the "BIG 50" mark.

So here's the next half of your life, Karen. God be with you.

Hope your birthday is a great one!

Not the "BIG FIVE OH!" Oh no. Life will never be the same Karen. Over the hill without ever reachin' the top. It's a heck of a thing.

OK, enough picking on you, especially since five oh is a couple of years behind me. Hope you have a wonderful birthday and all your e-bay sales go off without a hitch.

Happy birthday.

Rich

Happy Birthday, Karen!!

Welcome to the fifties - the best is yet to be!!

Barb

Hey let the drums roll you made it to the big Five-O fifty. Happy Birthday Karen and have many more to come. Enjoy the input that you have put on the forums.

Hal

Happy Birthday Karen! Have you decided which HL Michael will get to buy for you?

Dave

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

May you enjoy your day and may you have many more birthdays to come.

HB Karen! I always pictured you from your posts as being late 20s - early 30s! Just remember your only as old as you feel and act. So think 30s - it works. You've got plenty of time to grow up, and act your age!

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

We hope all of your birthday wishes come true!

-Todd & Marla

Happy Birthday, Karen. I hope John's wrong in thinking you've already completed the first half of your life. Hope you've got a lot more in you. If the odometer is the problem, sounds like Bob S. knows one of those mechanics that resets 'em.

Happy Birtday Karen. All the best.

Happy Birthday Karen.

Aquarians rule!

PS: don't forget to let the "pups" join in the celebration. Maybe a hamburger cake with "Snausages" as candles?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN

Happy Birthday, Karen! My oldest son, Sean was also born on February 10, but he is a lot younger than you...lol!

Enjoy your birthday and many more!

Bob

Happy upcoming birthday Karen! We love company in our over-fifty crowd. Boomers rule!

Karen -

Let me know what it is like on the other side of "that age". I am only 2 1/2 years behind you. I want to know if I should do a Jack Benny and stop at 48 or 49.

Dr. Who ?

I'll get you Mr. Chidester Sir for this one!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the birthday wishes. Some of you are a tough crowd, huh Rich. And for your comments Bob S, never ever do I want to grow up and act my age. Rod, you know the pups will definitely join in the celebration cause they won't give us any choice in the matter. Jim, who's Jack Benny, I don't remember that guy! I'll let you know what it's like from the "Other Side" shortly! And who can ever out do the Digger!

Michael and I have enjoyed this thoroughly.

In John's attempt to get my birthday up on the Forum, he missed it by two days guys. Smokey the Bear, Abe Lincoln and I were born on the same day. February 12.

Old Lady Karen



PS - Michael just noticed John that there is an s on the end of Power in the title and it really doesn't need to be there. Picky isn't he! But we know that you understand John.

PSS - Hey, Roseanne Rosannadana can I have one of your "Really OLD Wacko" pins for my birthday?

OH NO! IT'S THE BIG FIVE-OH NO!!!

Enough joking. Happy birthday, Karen. May you have many many more. (and get lots of HLs!)

Jakers

You know I couldn't remember whether it was Power or Powers. I figured there's two of you so you must be the Powers that be.

What the heck, I had a 50-50 shot at it.

You deserve all the congratulations -- and the ribbings.

Happy Birthday (you and Abe).

More "Power" to you Karen, hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday!

(Does this make you older than the coon?)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!!!
Mary Jane just hit the big "49+1" less than two weeks ago (Jan. 29th)and I hit 51 on the 8th of Jan. As others have said here, it just keep getting better. Both MJ and I wish you a very happy birthday.

Karen,

"Naner...naner...NANER"!!!

Guess you did take a couple of "hits" on reaching the "BIG 50"...See what happens when you tease your "elder" Aquarian friends? But as Rod said, we Aquarians
"RULE"! Maybe the New Millenium will be the beginning of our long-awaited "Age Of
Aquarius"...

Have you told anyone else which lighthouse you'd REALLY like to have? Is she still in SC; and do you still have "visiting rights"? Michael should at least take you to visit her! (Gee, I hope Dave H. above and others don't get too curious, and ask you WHICH lighhouse--and WHY....we know how you like to talk (right, Mr Chidester?)--you may set a record for the longest post ever!
(Naner...naner...NANER!!!!)

Seriously, Karen, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
And Best Wishes for PEACE, HEALTH, AND
TRUE HAPPINESS, ALWAYS!!
(and..."May God Bless"...)

Larry B.

Allow me to be the first to wish you a happy birthday on the actual day of your birthday! I hope you have a great one!

chris

This is it ! No more of this forty-something when you are asked how old you are. Now you have to say fifty-something. Well let's leave it at an even fifty.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy birthday !!!

At a convention in Nashville and stopped to check on HL...Congratulations Karen....The absolutely greatest people are over 50.....
Derith

Happy Birthday, Karen.

Hope you have fun at the Outer Banks

Randall & Linda Ronne

Hi Karen,

Happy Birthday to you!

I hope they keep getting better and better! Have a wonderful day, and a great year.

Joanne

Only a day and a half till the 12th Karen. Have you gotten the burn permit for the cake yet?

Rich

So Abe Lincoln, Smokey the Bear, and Karen Power walk into a bar...

Happy Birthday Karen and many, many more!

Did I read John's post correctly? Your odometer at age 50 is rolling from the 1st to the 2nd half of your life? Such negative thought should not be allowed on Birthdays, at age 50 you should be rolling from your 1st to your 2nd THIRD of your life.

As I said, Happy Birthday and many, many, many, many, many, many, many, more!

Polly

Happy Birthday, Karen.



The Flame

Happy Birthday Karen. Enjoy this one and many more. Also, expect that invitation from AARP to show up any day now

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!! You do realize that at the half way mark, you have the option to count forward or backwards for birthdays from now on. Once again, Happy Birthday.
