What I enjoy about getting older is that I have less and less elders each day to whom I must show respect

I no longer worry about saving for retirement. Now I just enjoy spending my savings. An unexpected benefit of this is that it attracts some pretty hot chicks.

I'm actually the last one of my crowd that is still alive. All my friends are dead now. The last died two years ago.

Hey, how old ARE you? I kinda thought you were way too young for THAT.

I'm old enough to be glad I no longer have to worry about Parental Controls on my devices.

I'm old enough to worry about shitting my pants again.
As for skydiving, there's no downside for someone that old to splatter in a field.

Phh. Just a youngster.
That's deep. Solidifies my view of our world chugging along like a vehicle with no destination while using life as fuel. When its my turn to combust I'd be some billionth fart out the exhaust pipe catching a final glimpse of its temporary form.

I guess we're supposed to be impressed that she's the oldest skydiver in the world, but what really impresses me is that she's still giving people skydiving lessons.

That's a wonderful time to have entered the world!
As I get older, I mostly enjoy no longer giving a fuck about what other people think about a whole lot of stuff. And not really giving a fuck what other people - especially young people who don't have any real experience of the world - think about me.

Same here, but I have realized recently I do still have my limits. Spending the afternoon running around to different stores and realizing after I got home that my fly had been down the whole time. Something that was never an issue in my brain's younger days. Also, having a wad of Velcro strap that was on my passenger seat attach itself to my covid mask without me realizing it until after I finished shopping and took it off in my truck. I wish I had a time machine just to fix those two incidents.
