I’m told the blood of young, white Christian babies does the trick.
Many happy returns!

There’s a cure, but it’s a rather permanent one, or so I’m told. Be happy instead. ;-)

Sorry you cant roll back your age like you cant roll back the miles on an odometer by putting it in reverse (see Ferris Beuller’s Day Off) :) Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

But I think you’ve made a mistake; aren’t you turning 29 today?

I recall an old lady telling me that a younger man told her she looked like a “breath of spring”. Then he paused and added, “well more like the end of a long hard winter.”

You are 34 and a long way from old age. Relax and smile. And I hope the opening to this message did just that.

Happy birthday Tinman!

Happy birthday! Unfortunately, I suspect that the cure is far worse than the disease. The appropriate treatment therefore is to enjoy what you can, while you can.

Being 34 will be great!

1. You are in good company.

2. You’re still classified in the youthful.

3. But it may be an expensive year.

4. Although the future looks bright.

Happy 34!

Hey! We have something in common! Bush was president when *I* turned 34, too!

Oh.

Anyway… Happy (slightly belated) Birthday!

Umm, there is a cure. Unfortunately, it’s worse than the disease.

Belated happy birthday!

And don’t feel bad – you could be staring down 50!
