    Well when you bring up the "senior" versus "elderly" point... I guess I would have to agree. Then again, I don't think you're "old" until you can no longer walk, feed, bathe, drive, or go to the restroom on your own without help. So until you meet all those requirements... you're still a youngin' to me!!

    When I was still a kid, 50 was almost old, and everyone above 60 was seen as an elderly person
    But..... (he he), my mind has changed over the years!! Now, I prefer to see "elderly age" as something passed 70
