Getting older does have its perks: today this page is dedicated to the thought that while we might not improve with age we don’t offer any excuses or apologies because that youthful embarrassment has gone and now we don’t give a darn!
Take a look at this video of an old woman who makes her point without saying a word: actions speak louder than words.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis
In a man’s middle years there is scarcely a part of the body he would hesitate to turn over to the proper authorities. ~E.B. White
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ~George Bernard Shaw
There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward. ~John Mortimer
This video is proof that you can’t keep a good woman down!

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Author Unknown
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. ~John Barrymore
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age. ~Victor Hugo
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age - I missed it coming and going. ~J.B. Priestly

The driver in this footage was a 79 year old Oregonian. He careened from car to car after an ice storm in Portland, hitting seven cars in total. 79 years old and still making records
