What’s the opposite of 66? | June 8, 2019

Well 66, of course. (Duh.)

So there’s no denying it…

I’m going to be 66 on Sunday, June 9th.

(I preferred 65. Maybe I’ll stay there!)

  2. Happy Birthday. But tell me this,, WHY are they called birthdays ? as I asked my pastor that & said to him, Isn’t it, when the day you are born, that is the beginning of death, and when on that day you do die, that day is the beginning of life forever in heaven ? He said to me I was right & he never thought of it that way, but had no answer why they are called BIRTHdays. 6-25-60 started my death, & God only knows when my life will start for actually living a life finally.

  13. Very Happy Birthday young Lady, but from my elderly perspective 66 is merely middle aged! However, being the eternal nit picker (my wife uses a stronger expression!) I must point out that in mathmatics the opposite of the positive integer N is -N and tnerefore the opposite of 66 is -66 not that it matters a hoot!

    • Well, that’s how I see it.

      66 (plus?) is what it’s all about.

      As for the real math, I don’t quite get the -66, but I’ll leave that up to you. 🙂

  19. When I hit 66 I told myself that the illusion of age was promoted by a eastern syndicate (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)!
    Therefore in light of that I tell myself that I’m really only 29. Unfortunately my body doesn’t agree.

    • Mark, I might have said this above:

      If you don’t mind, it don’t matter.”

  25. Happy birthday as everyone else has said; I do have one “solution” to your dislike of being 66 instead of 65!! it was a tip from a friend – you are only 50-15!! It sounds more believable when you say it rather than write it! So, I am only 60-10 and not 70!! I sounds so much younger!!!
