OT - How Old is Old?
Just curious. At what age do you consider someone as old? Personally I
feel like I passed old 10 years ago at 49. I'm going to be 60 this coming October and I feel ancient. However my mom, who is in *MUCH* better shape than me doesn't seem all that old at 85. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

I was talking to a woman at church who is very impressed with the fact that I went skydiving on my 70th birthday. Her husband seldom comes to church, but he was there that day. She said, "I told my husband, 'See that little old lady over there? She jumps out of airplanes.'" Once I recovered from the shock, I decided that yes, I am old, so why not make the most of it? I am in Toastmasters, and for our next humorous speech contest, I made a speech about being old. I won at my club, and at the next level, too. Joy |

Joy Recalling SNL your post reminded me of The Church Lady of that tv show, "We like ourselves, don't we?" which applies to your socially inept conversationalist quoted. *I* decided that I don't wish to know whether or not you still talk to her at church. I have been called many things.....but never "little old lady". |

Funny thing is as I've gotten older I've gotten more comfortable with myself- the Christmas before last I was having a drink with my youngest brother (who isn't 50 until this December) and he said since I'd passed 50 I seemed so much happier in myself and so much more confident than he'd ever known me to be and he hoped he would be the same once he passed 50 Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furball |

I couldn't help marveling at how beautiful she is, in a natural way. And funny. No idea her age, but I'd never think of her as old. I think I tend to judge "old" by what's in your head, how trendy you are, if you're current on news, etc., sense of humor (big one!), not the number-age. Sherry |

If not, some action of some kind is called for. |
