Recently I became 50. I bought myself 3 books. Maybe you did something differently. Buying a motorcycle, wind wind in the hair. Feel free to elaborate, because there is not one way. There was never one way.
Since you're here telling us about it, I'm assuming you had a working parachute or the plane never left the ground.Turned 50 this June.
To celebrate i jumped out of a perfectly fine aircraft....

Awesome way of putting it.Happy half-life!
When I was in my 20s, I used to skydive often enough to get up to 20-second freefalls. I'll never forget one time, when I was training for my first few jumps, there was this girl who was as new as me. She was a real chatterbox. Till we got on the plane. Then she got real quiet.Turned 50 this June.

I used to own 127 acres in the Missouri Ozarks and can't agree more. I miss it so much.I do recommend the serenity of a rural lifestyle
Well, my longest freefall was 72 seconds from 16,000 ft/4,800 mWhen I was in my 20s, I used to skydive often enough to get up to 20-second freefalls. I'll never forget one time, when I was training for my first few jumps, there was this girl who was as new as me. She was a real chatterbox. Till we got on the plane. Then she got real quiet.
When it was her turn, the jumpmaster told her to get into position in the doorway. She stepped out onto the wing. He yelled, "Are you ready?" And she let go. Then she grabbed back onto the wing! "GO GO GO!", he yelled. So she let go...but grabbed onto the static line that newbies have which pulls the chute out after you fall so many feet.
I'm not aware of any of this. All I see is the jumpmaster leaning toward the door with a concerned look on his face. What happened is, by her grabbing the static line, the chute came out too soon and didn't grab enough air to deploy properly. He was watching her spin down to the ground where, fortunately, her reserve chute automatically deployed at 1200 feet saving her life!
I've been to Tokyo 14 years ago, would love to go back again. It was such an amazing trip.Hopefully I can afford to fly to Tokyo before I'm 50...
That's what every third dutch person I know tells me. What are you guys doing over there?I've been to Tokyo 14 years ago, would love to go back again. It was such an amazing trip.
Gawking at the dressed up maid girls in Akihabara.What are you guys doing over there?
Wasn't there a movie with the Quote "I should have taken the blue pill?"Around 50 most men need viagra.
I feel like there are stages in life. Each stage/phase has its nice parts, and things that you can't do yet or can't do any more.
I hope that on my 50th birthday I wilI really have suceeded in my job and have lots of experience in it.
In 2013, me and some friends went to a 2-day Open-Air-Festival (incl. camping)I spent my 50th alone at home during lockdown. On my 51st I was able to go to a restaurant. For my 55th I want to sit next to a fire in some clearing, drink a cold one and watch the young ones try to put up a tent and tell them stories about the past.
