When I was in Australia some years ago, people who sold tickts in the cinemas and other places where there was a reduced price for pensioners used to ask "Are you in the Golden Years?"

I hate the word OLD. The older I am getting the more I dislike it.
I prefer 'less young'.
I don't mind people saying 'Now that I am older', but I hate to hear someone say 'Now that I am old'.
