Well, here I am
Down to the last couple weeks of being in my 20's. At the end of the month is my 30th birthday.
My wife took me on a shopping spree for my birthday present, to "update" my wardrobe from nothing but T-shirts and jeans, and for the first time in my live, I bought a watch that costs more than $20. I have to admit, I love the watch, but still adjusting to wearing "grown up clothes" as my wife calls them.The world would be much cleaner if blind people carried brooms instead of sticks.
At communion, when the priest says "Body of Christ", I say "Thanks, I've been working out", then I grab the cracker and run back to my seat

Soon you will lose the trust of hippies, who "never trust anyone over 30!"
So you bought a watch that costs $30, right? Maybe when you're 60 you can buy a watch that costs $60....
I hope you have a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday in advance!

Lol, I didn't think about it when it happened, but I bought a $300 watch. I think when I turn 60 I will take up your suggestion and get a $600 one.

I'm waaaaay past 30, and I still wear T-shirts, tennis shoes and jeans!

At that price it will probably be capable of sending you back in time so you can be 20 again and go back to buying $20 watches! Originally Posted by ChesCopPodz

Wait until you are older then most Interstate Speed Limits. Maybe you can use that as an excuse when you are stopped and tell the Trooper, "I thought I was only going 70."
