So on and so forth that by the time my actual 54th birthday rolls around, I think I'm about 57 or so, and then I have to do the math and say, "...wait a minute, I thought I was 57 turning 58, but I'm actually 53 turning 54...that can't be right?!"

I would point out a common sign of aging, but if I did you’d probably forget what it was anyway (and you’d forget my smartass comment, so I’m in the clear).

Yes! I love Italian horror/thriller movies.

I think that very few horror/thriller movies as those of Dario Argento can scares me. Suspiria is one of those.
Have you ever heard/seen a film called “la casa
dalle finestre che ridono”? If I am not wrong, is directed by Pupi Avati... the location is the foggy province of Emilia Romagna. I’m still shivering because of that film..

So....good news only, huh?

I went out to eat for my birthday at a very nice restaurant. The weather was perfect, so we ate outside. But, my brother was complaining about the sun in his eyes, so I offered to sit facing the sun so it wouldn't bother him. The appetizer (fried cheese curds) was delicious:

After an exceedingly long time, and more than one question to our server of why it was taking so long, the food arrived, and it looked fantastic. It was also totally cold. Fortunately, the manager was on the case, and he agreed to pay for two of our meals, and give me a delicious birthday ice cream.

The extra long wait gave me time to enjoy an extra drink:View attachment 33129

This is the burger I got. The taste was wonderfully beefy, and the fries were tasty, and it would have been perfect if it weren't served cold. But, I got a free birthday meal out of it.

The funny thing with me is that I always overstate my age.

The day after my 53rd birthday, for example, I always think of myself as 54, since I've passed 53, so if anyone asks my age, I say, "I'm 54," when really I haven't reached 54 yet.

That's only one year, that's not so bad, but a couple of months after doing that, I start thinking I've already had my 54th birthday, because I've been saying "54" so much, and I begin to think I'm on my way to 55, and so I answer "55" if anyone asks my age.

So on and so forth that by the time my actual 54th birthday rolls around, I think I'm about 57 or so, and then I have to do the math and say, "...wait a minute, I thought I was 57 turning 58, but I'm actually 53 turning 54...that can't be right?!"

When we're out together and someone asks my age, my wife always answers for me before I can, because she knows I'll get it wrong.

To be honest I have no issue with my age, am happy to be honest...49 :)

Yes! It's very good as well - "The House With Laughing Windows" or something like that.

When I was a kid, young teens, my older brother got one of the first satellite dishes ever made. Massive thing, took up half his yard, and was noisy as well.

However, it could pull in all kinds of weird and wonderful programming, back in the days before subscription TV and scrambled signals, and I used to stay at his house as much as possible, because all of these fantastic European movies were available. Horror, mysteries, thrillers, even dramas/romance - they just looked so different than American films. So stylish, and the locations were unbelievable.

I still love them to this day, and with the internet, it's pretty easy to track many of them down.

Some good news.
But you'll have to accept a little bad first.
The automated door for our chook house packed up recently and I contacted the company to confirm that as I suspected it was out of warranty by 6 months. We purchased it through the NZ division of an American company (they didn't have an Australian division then), so I'd gone back to the New Zealand division. They've come back and confirmed it's out of warranty but the description of the failure has surprised them and they would like to find out why it had failed, so have offered us a free replacement second hand (field test) controller unit in exchange for the faulty one. :okay:
 
I'm wearing a new shirt today, one I bought back in the Spring. Temps are finally cool enough to wear it, as it's a little heavier a shirt.
