I will be 70 in October.

I'm a pre-war model; 75 candles on my cake in 2016.

I will be 73 in Nov.

Gosh, I feel so young. I'll be 67 in August.

I'm past the 70, and getting closer to the big 80!

marilyn, what date? I'm the 7th.

OH to be 70 again. More power to ya, ladies. Hope you have a great decade!

Enjoy whatever '70 number' you will be, this year, ladies. I will be 84 in July and just learned I will have to have valve replacement surgery in three weeks. I could wish I were in my 70's, again!

An early Happy Birthday to all of you!

Turning 70 in Nov. Doesn't seem as though I should be that age.........

Going to be 71 on June 2. But FWIW, my mind's age is Sweet Sixteen. Lots of post-war babies, eh!

Oh darn.....I jumped the gun....I turned 70 last year....and I'll be 71 three weeks from today.Denny turned 74 this year....He keeps asking me "are you ever going to grow up?" I say.....Nope

I've always been immature

I will be 77 in September, the good lord willing.

I was at my dentist today for cleaning and xrays. He was comparing current xrays to 4 years ago. I've had bone loss, current infection, periodontal disease, etc, and there will be problems coming up. Then he asked me how old I am. I told him 65. He said, "You're still young." YEAH. I AM!

Hang in there, all you young folks, and maybe you can catch up with me at the Big Eight Five! (Since December. I remember 70 like it was fifteen years ago!)

I would add a smiley face if I knew how!

may is my 70th...it just doesn't seem possible...

Not me. I turned 70 a number of years ago. Oh to be 70 and young again!

It seems like none of us can associate our age with the number. I know I can't. 70 is old! But I'm not old!

When I turned 70 (it'll be three years ago in April) I told the group assembled at my surprise party that I didn't mind at all turning 30, 40, 50, or even 60. But 70 sounded rather serious. :-)

I've read more than once that the seventies are the happiest decade. I don't know where they got that. I'm not miserable, but back when my children were growing up I woke up excited every morning to be part of this wonderful life.

For me, 70 will be in April. I have had no problem adding on the years. What got me though was when the government started sending me stuff about Medicare. Then, it was something.

And, at seventy and a half, gotta start taking money out of retirement funds.

I'll be 70 at the very end of the year. My high school class is planning a birthday party for us, since most of us will be turning 70 sometime this year.

Kudos to everyone who keeps on keepin' on...age is what we feel inside:)

And may I say that this is one of the reasons I treasure this forum---we are able to share the sad, the funny, and the silly with perspective.

I'll be 73 in May and have to say the 70's are a really good decade for me. I have a significant other who will turn 82 this year; We have a very active and full life together; I'm happier than I've ever been in spite of a few aches and pains.

Sounds like several here are getting close to ... "second childhood" ...

... from one who's got 'way beyond that.

I think ... or, so he claims.

Anyway ... enjoy being 70 ... and I was going to say that you get one more day to enjoy it ... but that was last year's crop.

ole joyfuelled ... and it appears that quite a few here share similar "fuelling"

I will be 70 in November. Doesn't quite seem real...

Marilyn C, you're so pretty! It's all those loving animals that are keeping you young! And Jodi, of course, lol

Marilyn, I love that photo, you are very pretty!

I have more years to go than I've been alive to reach 70! I hope I age as gracefully as everyone here whose pics I've seen.

ole joyful -- I'm waiting til I'm in my 90s for MY 'second childhood". don't rush me!! =)

Will be 69 in a few days.....

I have another birthday in a few days too - same day as that of the guy who started the "March of Dimes" (some years before my time, I think).

I'm much older now than he was when he died.

ole joyful

President Franklin Roosevelt's personal struggle with polio led him to
create the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at a time when
polio was on the rise.

I didn't know that. I hadn't ever thought about it before.

So, happy - this has been a good day for you.

It's a poor day in which one doesn't learn sumthin'.

Some of the learnings being of more value than others ... but one never knows what the future may hold.

ole joyful ... who spent some time in Iowa, has some affection for it

I think I learn something new every day! Sometimes a lot of stuff in a day! Remembering it.............
