Well, when I was 16, anyone older than about 30 was well past their prime, but I reckon 60 is the old bugger line in the sand even though I still feel like a misguided kid on the inside, but I guess we all feel a bit like that if we are honest with ourselves. 60 is when the senior discounts start to kick in, a SCAN is an accepted part of the daily routine (looking forward to that part) and breakfast and dinner are a side dish for the cluster of pills now required daily to either mask over the broken bits or provide enough energy to actually make it through till SCAN time.

Hi, all.

T.I.Terry - I turned 68 last May 30th, take three pills in the morning and six at night, so I qualify, but what the hell is SCAN time? I look forward to 4.30pm with some eagerness, mind you.
Had a Cat Scan in emergency a while ago but they found nothing...

My young grandchildren tell me (60) that I am older than dirt. They even sent me a talking birthday card to prove it, but I think that nana may have had a hand in that. :roll: :roll:

I don't claim to be old Shirley. The g'kids call me old. I threaten to kick their butt. You are only as old as you feel, and I feel pretty good right now. :D

60 is real young David, just enjoy life & travelling while you are able.

Our nearly 18yr old g' son often says to us " that is such an old person thing to do" our reply " well we are old".
