Wonderful! I am 63 and alive and well here in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. Two cats and a partner with whom I have been for over forty-seven years. He is a retired attorney who reads every night - some big book - and he is 85! He walks the park behind our home every morning. I am on a 12-speed Fuji bicycle riding everywhere as my primary form of transportation and I must now learn how to drive a car at 63! God, I hope I can master that one! Anyhow, yes, there is life after 60. I and you and Eddie, and all the others, are all proof positive. I am very active and spend my spare time finding new homes for old computer systems when people upgrade and don't know what to do with their old computers, I have them give them to me and I place them in new homes, usually with poor children locally who simply cannot afford such a luxury. Please have a good Christmas, and thank you for posting your amusing question! Sent to you with good energies from Chris in South Portland, Maine. U.S.A.

I'm a bit younger at 55 but as a care worker I can report you are not alone!
I know lots like you who refuse to even think old!
I used to visit a lady of 99 who didn't feel she needed care at all and was very independant! I often found her up dressed and having breakfast when I arrived in the morning and she was always doing crossword puzzles. She was full of beans and always making jokes, (usually aimed at her family) she said they were all older than she was!

Carry on the good work and lets show these youngsters that there is life in some they consider past it!!!!
Hey some of us can even use the internet too!

These days I thought that eighty was the new sixty-five ! Most of the people that I know who are retired are fighting fit and full of life. One lady I know is 64 and has gone on a six month `back-packing` holiday with her 73 year old boyfriend to Australia. Recently I went to B&Q on a Tuesday and the place was packed with older people buying new bath rooms and kitchens and DIY materialsand spending money, like it was going out of fashion! I discovered that Tuesday was 10% discount day for the over sixty-fives. If that lot was an example of the older generation, I say good for them, they didn`t look as though they sat in rocking chairs wearing crimplene and slippers and feeling sorry for them selves.

I`ve still got some catching up to do (16 years) and I still feel like I did when I was 21. One thing I`ve found now though is that time seems to be going much more quickly. I`m definitely not dead from the neck up.. ...or down!!

Wow I thought most men 65 and older were dead from the neck down as all they ever do is think about it.

Thank you for making me smile! Needed a good chuckle. You're only as young as you feel. You're sounding pretty 30ish. Keep up the good work and don't let them drag you down!
