Amen, as long as I wake up and am looking at the green side I'm doing good.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Well there is one thing about getting old, you get senior discounts. I am not 60, yet, but have grey hair (what I have). So different places give me a discount without my asking. And I am not going to tell them different. :-D Got a small discount at lunch. Hey, every little bit counts.
I just turned 65 a few months back and took a trip out west to the National Parks, I had got a senior pass a year or so ago and it was nice $25 admission just showed em the pass and bingo good to go have a nice visit. But some advice; "Getting old ain't for sissies"

You should see The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Great movie about someone who is born old and grows younger...

Seeing as how "senior" has no definitive age minimum (it all depends on where you are, who you are talking to, and what you are doing), accepting such a discount is, or should be, uneventful. Now if said places had a sign with "Senior discount to those 60 or older" or some such verbiage and you took them up on it, then that would not be cool. :-D

Yeah, I'm often in a quandary. Do I take the student discount or the senior citizen discount? Decisions, decisions ....

Funnily, there's a few places I frequent that actually regularly give me freebies just because I treat them like human beings, unlike many of their customers. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy everytime.
