happy half-birthday Beth! In Switzerland, women generally get their retirement (for some!)….. not for you then?!
brilliant combo (what else did I expect?)
love and a half-birthday-mmmpfh! 😉
sorry, mind faster than fingers – retirement age for women generally 64th birthday, but (small) retirement money only from the 1st of following month…. Really bad luck for my father, whose b’day was 1st of April (not only was he the living joke year after year but he had to wait for the 1st of May which is a Holiday too in some parts of Switzerland – it’s Labourer’s Day). Poor dad 🙂 RIP
Interesting! In Bangladesh when you have your 74th birthday, then you are “running 75!” Which, basically means you are in your 75th year of life! Have a great day!
Yay to you!! We always got my daughter a half birthday present because her November birthday was always too close to Hanukkah and Christmas and it got a little lost in the shuffle
Just 6 months to retirement if you want to. Not sure you’re ready to leave those kinder. My to-be granddaughter’s birth will be so close to Christmas that I suspect we will be celebrating half birthdays. Otherwise those special days tend to be an afterthought.
When I recently turned 65 (and my husband shortly after), I celebrated…because we are now on Medicare, which is saving a whole bundle of money in insurance premiums and healthcare costs. Saving us around $1,300/month in premiums.
Oh, I love how the young celebrate their birthdays, and their halfs. Me? I don’t admit my new age until the date. At my age now (69 and 2 months past 1/2, I live with the motto that age is attitude. So…I’m 42. And 1/2.
So… wait! I’m confused is this your birthday or is it the halfway towards? And sounds like you’ve earned some congratulations as well! Hope it is/will be a memorable one for all the right reasons! 🥰

When you reached 64, did you announce that you were a perfect sixth power? (2 raised to the 6th power is 64: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64.)
