What about not worrying about getting pregnant,thus more relations?

....no one ''cards'' you for beer!
....you often get asked, ''Do you have the internet, smartphone, computer at home?'' by some kid customer service rep....as if you live in the stone age!
....you say what you think...maybe too often!
....youngin's assume you are hard of hearing!
....no one ''cards'' you when you ask for that senior discount!
....you can stay up as late as you want and sleep as late as you want!
....you know where you were the day Kennedy was shot.
....you know most of the bands and artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
....elastic waistbands become your new best friend.

Best advantage in getting old to paraphrase Monty Python, "I'm not dead yet."

It is generally referred to as being *alive* and not *dead*.

I got an $11 haircut today. Last week I went up to Santa Fe on the RalRunner train for a pub crawl with friends and paid $5 for an all day rail pass. That's way cheaper than driving and parking.

Now if I can just remember where I left my pack....
