what age do you consider old??

how old does someone have to be (in your opinion) to be considered "old", or better yet, not youthful?

 

over 80.

 

4064... now that's old!

Age is a very silly thing... it does not determane your age!

 

Old, to me, is 60+

Middle aged is probably 30-59 in my mind..

 

whoa..middle age at 30???

im closing in , then....

 

the dead middle of life is probably 37 or so.. But, to me, the term "middle aged" refers to people 30-59, that's all I meant. :]

 

I've never really thought about it...Age is what you make of it.

 

I make sandwitches out of it!

With honey mustard!

 

It is a strange terminology because we say someone is 1 years old, 3 years old, and then 45 years old. Then somehow it is just "old." I am 54 years old, and I guess it would feel different if I was 54 years young. I feel older than many on this forum, but if I went to a nursing home or hospice, I would probably feel very young. I guess it is all relative, but as far as years of being alive compared to those left, 54 would be past middle age, and closer to "elderly". I like that term better anyway, makes me feel wise, and respected.

 

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Henry Ford said that

Open your mind, take a trip, and dance

I said that

 

I must agree.

As Bowie said... "Lets Dance!"

 

I've seen people that were old by their mid thirty's...other people who were still young in their mid eighty's...age is a state of mind. I'm 60 and don't consider myself old. A lifetime of being active and sometimes crazy has given me pains here and there from various adventures and accidents. Lots of those pains make me laugh when I think of how I aquired them. I've got some great plans on how to aquire an additional crop of potential aches for the future too.

 

To me, old is around, ohhh, 70 something years old.

 

it all depends on the person. some people are in their 60s and hardly do anything and sit around all day while others are up and about living their lives.

 

I never Really Jugde about age. As long as thare a Nice person and Have a good Sence of Humar they are "Cool" In my book.

Glower

 

To me old is when you stop seeing the world through your own eyes, stop holding on to your opinions like in your "youth" and start looking at things as people tell you to!

 

What you consider to be old depends on your age. As you get older, the age you consider to be "old" also gets older.

 

Well, then age must be fuckin' disgusting.

Unless their just regular sangwiches. I'm a big fan of thems.

 

Do not tell an Italian you do not like thier food, they will crush you with meatballs!

What would a regular sandwitch be?

 

That is actually true...My mom once refused an Sicilian's cappucino, and the man didn't speak to her for weeks.

A regular sandwich would be lettuce, tomatoes, some muenster cheese, maybe a little dijon, some bean sprouts, and cucumbers.

And that is one damn fine sandwich.

I never pronounce the 'd'. Why should it be there?
