You're as elderly as you feel...

Vintage VFer · 08-09-18, 02:16 PM

So, with the fires everywhere and the lousy air quality, young children and the elderly are advised to stay indoors.

Well, what is considered "elderly?" I googled the word and the general consensus is 65 years and older.

I'm 62 and feel far from elderly. To be honest, I don't even really feel like a senior citizen.

Darn labels! Who needs 'em!!!

Yes, I think your heading says it all, if you feel "elderly" you are, no matter the number of years you've been alive.

I laughed like crazy when I started getting AARP stuff in the mail. I personally do not pay any attention to my age. I feel great, stronger than I've ever been. Menopause sucks but it can't last forever.
I'm going to be 56 next month. Freaky! But I guess I'm not sure what 56 should be like so I keep going.

Love that photo!

I just turned 65. When I tell my children that I’m elderly, they just laugh.

Elderly is my dad, who turns 90 at the end of this month.

Quote I heard AGES ago..can't even remember who said it but I always liked it for myself.

"I'll be old when I'm dead".

I have a quote on my "Inspiration" bulletin board that says "Don't let the old lady in."
