your only as old as you feel, think, and express yourself...unfortanatly as of late my motto has been the garth brooks song "I am much to young to feel this damn old"

Old is an attitude, not an age. I know some really cool 90 year olds and some really miserable 60 year olds. It seems that the more obstacles a person has had in their life, the better their attitude as they age. Some of the most miserable old people I know have never had to work for anything.

OLD people? LOL EVERYBODY is "old" to anyone ten years younger than they are. When you're 10, 20 is "reeeal old" at the age of 30, 40 is old. When you get to 40, you think 50 is the end of the line. But if you make it to 50 you think 60 is as old as it gets before you're done. So it goes.
One way to keep from getting "old" though. Die young. But gee, that's a lousy option. Besides, I would have missed out on the best times of my life if I had died while I was still young and dumb. Today I am young enough to look sharp, but old enough to be smart... reeeeal smart. I wouldn't mind going back a few years, but I'd have to be able to take my experiences and my knowledge back with me.

I have to see them every day at work as I work in elderly rehab!Some of them are really nice and just set in their ways but there are some that are obnoxious and would try the patience of a saint!
With work "old" is classified as 65 and over and anyone of that age that is ill would be admitted to a care of the elderly ward.Having said that though my sister has just had a baby and I feel old right now!

I respect most old people. I consider someone alive today who lived through the Depression as "old".
Age is really just a state of mind. It represents the number of times we've travelled around the sun.

I dont know how old is, that is what you feel and act, I know a 60 year old that acts like he is in his late 20's so that all depends on the person
but I think 80 is old ^_^

In reality, there is no old and there is no new. All are equal in logical sence. We differentiate in numbers. Age, years etc. When we get bored with a person, a thing, a music or anything else in this world, even life, then we say it is old.
All are efficient. Although everyone has different features.

my gramma is 85 but it seems like shes going to die in a few years. I think if you look really old you are old, past 80 is pretty old though

everyone has a different opinion on age,,when I was 20,I thought 40 was old,,,as we age we only get wiser with age,so as I get older I get smarter,,so this age question is stupid,,,,its sad when young people do not respect their elders with wisdom to share
