How old is old now?

[linderlizzie]

There seem to be quite a few contradictory theories about age now.

Is 50 the new 40?

Is ageism a thing?

Do people discriminate on account of age in hiring and firing?

Do others judge your mental competency because of your age?

Do people seem to condescend to you on account of your age?

If I don't feel old, am I still old?

Why did I want to grow up so fast, and now that I'm older, I can't even remember what happened to all those years behind me?

My inquiring mind wants to know your thoughts.

BTW, not tellin' my age any time soon.  Some purists might consider me old, but they'd better not say so.

I really do not know at what age you are considered old. I have seen seventy year olds out do a twenty something year old.

 You're only as old as you feel.

I passed the halfway point quite a while ago.  I'm old and I'm proud of it.

I guess I must be about 150 then. If the doctors keep cutting into me I suspect it will get worse fast. At least I can still walk across the street to the mailbox and make it from my recliner to the computer without too much problem. Hey, I am taking the wife out to see the new Top Gun tonight and it's the first time going out to a movie since my Open Hears Surgery several years ago

You can't keep listening to doctors and expect to stay healthy. I have little to no trust anymore in the medical profession. And that includes dentists. I'm sorry you don't feel so good. I hope you feel better soon.

You're only as old as you feel.

Do you mean mentally, physically or emotionally? Great minds want to know since that's a rather hackneyed phrase.

How can you know the halfway point unless you know how long you're going to live?

If you're past fifty at this point, does that mean you're going to live to be 100? Seriously??

We have had a few malpractices in our family,so i know how 1 could feel towards Drs.

But even Jesus said the sick need a Dr.Its like anything else in this world.Good and bad.Even a good Dr could have a bad day i guess.Like a HR hitter.He is gonna strike out too.

The bible says there will come a day when earths population says,"there will be no more sickness".

Too bad christendom hasnt given that honest hope to the world.

Isaiah 33:24 And no resident* will say: “I am sick.”a
The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error.b

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most developed countries define old age at 60 years and above. Similarly, Western countries define the beginning of old age when a person reaches the age of 60 or 65. The majority of individuals retire at this age or begin receiving a pension.

I feel old. Since my son died, I feel like I have aged 20 yrs. Mentally and physically. I am more than ready to see him again.
