My dad is 88. He is in no hurry to cash in. Drives and goes out to eat at least once a day if not twice. Has a girlfriend, 80% hearing loss, and memory issues. Slapped a 5 million umbrella on him and stay out of his way. He is still living on his terms and content.

No mortgage. More money than you’ve made in your career. One year closer to retirement. Grandchildren. That’s just getting started.

A lifetime pass to every National Park for a one time $80 fee is perhaps the best deal ever!

However, by the time you get it your too old to hike.

1) your life slows down and ur not in a hurry.
2) no more work to stress over.
3) your aches and pains are worse but that’s ok. It teaches you perseverance.
4) you appreciate your many blessings
5) you grow closer to God and heaven.
Nothing to not like.

Getting old sucks. But it beats the hell out of the alternative.

Long, lingering hugs with large breasted women are no longer perceived to be quite as creepy.


Do yall not talk to women?

The creepy old man is a trope. Lingering unwanted hugs are just as creepy at 75 as they are at 35.

How about don’t linger on a hug because you’re horny?
