Well, I'm going on 49 later this month Don and I have a looooooong way to go before elderly. What is the definition of elderly anyway? Like 90 and above?

Technically I suppose the definition fits...
American Heritage Dictionary - eld·er·ly (ěl'dər-lē adj.
1. Being past middle age and approaching old age; rather old.
2. Of, relating to, or characteristic of older persons or life in later years.
Maybe we could change the language? Dutch: bejaard
The "rather old" reference is a bit much. 49 huh? If life expectancy is around 72 or so, then middle aged would start around 36 I guess and range to around 54 or so - depending on how you look at it.

I feel like 15 sometimes but others I feel like 50. All in the mind I guess Don...
I do think that elderly is an offensive term.

Yeah it'd be different if "respect your elders" was still taught.
