    at what age

    What age is old? old age? elderly? middle aged? senior citizen?
    I consider someone old enough to be on social security to be a senior citizen, normally 65, but even that is going up to an older age.
    Think about age 51, not old, but past middle age, but not young.
    Is old 10 yrs older than whatever my age is?
    What is your opinion of old?
    My goodness, my grandparents were old, and they probably weren't 50 when I started having memories of them. They were so old that when they took their glasses off, they looked funny!

    I am 52 & neither consider myself old or even middle aged. Okay I do have some serious health issues but I am in better physical shape than I was in my 20's.
    I will say I consider myself just an adult female.
    Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

    Same here Sunnie. 52 doesn't feel so old until I've been on my feet all day at work. But these hot flashes in the summer are just a bit too much. lol

    Hey I am another that is 52 and I don't feel old or middle aged either!
    Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    Well I'm 44 and my boys (ages 22 & 18) tell me I'm old all the time. I guess I can show them this and prove I'm not. But I have to admit, there are days I feel like I'm 84.

    The older I get, the older old is. I used to think 50 was old when I got there and got over that really quickly!! I just turned 65 this past week I consider 90-100 old. LOL!
