Im 89 and still get around just fine. The trick is never just sit around just waiting for the grim reaper. Keep on the move or they will put you in a box. Im vice president of our local historical society. I eat all my meals out and drive around taking photos of anything that catches my eye. Dont have to worry about wasting film, just have to press the delete button.

The old tale,
If you did not know your date of birth,
How old would you be?

A study of potentates in middle East countries with harems found that the potentates outlived many of the eunuchs that were traditionally used to fetch the evening's choices.

I turned 70 this year and now am officially "elderly". Aside from not being able to run with the young'uns anymore, I can keep up with most. There are a few things that have slipped by the wayside, but I still play golf, make some photos, fly my drone, and travel as often as possible. Yup, I'm getting older, but until I can't get going, I'll just keep going.

What's the problem with the phrase "At your age"? It's totally appropriate at any age.... consider the comment to a 17 year old..... "At your age you should be assuming more responsibility.."

I have to laugh, because My room mate is 34, I am 65," no we are not a couple" and I get away with murder saying whatever I pretty much want almost anywhere, within reason and not being vile or rude. I constantly start up conversation with complete strangers, and usually leave them with a smile.
He is constantly embarrassed by my behaviour lol. but someday He will be able to do the same.
But yes, he writes it off to age lol, and I am only 17 inside, just the body is older :)

I am lucky and maybe have watched my health somewhat. I am 75 and shoot with a camcorder a run and gun running festival with 4000 marathoners. Also have shot triathlons. People generally thing I am younger I don't know about that. My son has me shoot my grandsons soccer games. I run around with a Sony RX10 III and he keeps saying "are you all right" sit down. What is that about. My wife's health is not great which makes me the do everything person. No problem. The wisdom and talents of much mature people I know
is being waisted.
is being waisted.

Fast approaching 85, (month and a half), and still driving to my office four days a week for a full day every day, I think back to 69 as a time when I still went to Ireland and Wales every year and went "walkabout" when there----Enjoy it while you can, because "Winter" is coming faster than you think!!

On the other hand entering "geezerhood" has an advantage, I can do most anything I want and it will be blown off with, "He's just an old geezer", while I'm going"GOT CHA!!"
The things I used to do labeled me as strange or weird, now at my age - I'm 'eccentric'.
