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!!

I would say the 80's.

Some baseball player (Sandy Koufax?) said "age is a matter of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter".

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

I love this t-shirt:

It's just a # to me. But I sure as He$$ want to be DANGEROUS the older I get! How cool!

I did join AARP at 50 and I love the discounts. I used to balk at getting "carded"..now I PRAY someone does!!!

I once referred to my mom as "elderly" (she was around 80) and I thought she'd slap me upside my head!
