What do you like about getting older?

[cilipadi]

I love laughter lines. I like it when somebody smiles and you can see the thousands of smiles that came before. I've started developing faint lines recently and I like crinkling them at myself in the mirror.

[trina2004]

I like the extra self confidence and certainty about life. I like the way older women wear less, or at least more tasteful, make up so that when you talk to them you actually know that they look like.
and yeah cilipadi I love laughter lines.

This is a major plus. I like the feeling of being less afraid of the world.

Agreed! I like knowing now that no matter how bad things seem at the time, they always seem to work out when you have friends and family that love and care about you.

That wonderful thing when you get to that point in your life, when you truly don't give a fark what people think! And all the other things that have been mentioned lol!

[foongsta]

i like how the crosswords are getting easier...cause the clues get repeated as the years go by...

[star-seeker]

Is that why my mom is so good at them LOL!

[cilipadi]

I look forward to reaching that point.

[flounder]

And saying no cos it really is all about you, and sitting in a recliner and having an afternoon senior moment

[djak]

I think just having basic life experience. You tend to know and can predict what does and does not work.

[Light-Bearer]

Becoming fragile, the body failing and then eventually dying.

[naughtylion]

Getting decent chest hair.

[Neptune]

Having had personal experience with all the crazies and knowing the warning signs.

[star-seeker]

I look forward to reaching that point.

It doesn't come easy, that's for sure.

Flounder my dear, you're hardly a senior yet! That did give me a chuckle though :D

[xxxVioletxxx]

Wisdom.

[tweety]

realising that the best things in life actually are for free.

[Muki]

Being able to be "boring" and to get away with it :)

[noodles]

Great post/s

[The Owl]

Having people give up seats to me on the trains, buses, trams e.t.c.

And greet me kindly.

[cilipadi]

A man gave up his seat to me once. I think he thought I was pregnant. I took it gladly and made sure to pat my tummy every now and then to soothe my imaginary foetus.

True true, sighs wistfully and stares into the azure waters of Darwin Harbour :o I think Im a silver fox in the making

Dressing in safari suits

[flounder]

Dressing in safari suits

Ha ha when I first came to the Territory they were everywhere duck egg blue, crimplene with walk socks and shoes. I could hardly talk, Khaki police uniform with dorky bush hat.

Sort of like John Meillon in the original Croc Dundee.

[djak]

For some strange nostalgic reason I saved my father's light blue safari suit when he passed away. Perhaps I should have had him cremated in it?

Or kept your father and burnt the suit

[djak]

[flounder]

Both my parents are gone now mmy mum died on April Fools day last year god bless her she had the last laugh

[noodles]

I think when I hit the 40 milestone I reflected alot about my life, all the lol's, wonderful things I have done, interesting ppl I met along the way, the dance parties, the colourful world - getting older is interesting - u really start 2 have a better understanding of who u r & care less about what people think.
cilipadi i love what u wrote-

Funny the older u get the more u think 60 is still young....lol
Im looking forward to the next chapter in my life as an older person...I have made a date with myself to write a book when I turn 50...
So in a nut shell, getting older means so many things & I'm loving it :-)

[roshki]

I like independence in more and more aspects of my life.

[wynrae]

I like not caring as much about unimportant things.

I love the fact that as I age, others my age are ageing faster so I don't really feel like I'm ageing at all :)
