When they hit 90s… you should be amazed they are alive.

don't tell them though. "how the fuck are you still alive?" is probably not what they want to hear. :D

Yes I feel like our culture could do a better job of "preemptive grieving", which I believe is sort of the implication of what you're getting at here.

When Shatner dies, there will be such a lovely outpouring of support and kindness and reminiscence for him. But on his birthday just the year before that, where will that be? Nowhere really, or at best in drastically reduced quantity. The vibe of the birthday before most people's death, I think quite sadly, is something of like " wow, congratulations! It's so great that you're still here!! Let's all keep rooting for you to make it another year!".

But wouldn't it be nice if we had something sort of like "preemptive funerals", and people could actually get to witness all that while they're, y'know, alive to witness it. Interesting...

Granny is going to be 92 this year. I do worry for her but she keeps chugging along.

What about when you hit 99?

Mel Brooks: Time to make another movie!

Damn, I had no idea he was 94, holy fluff.
