61 is not elderly. I'm not far from that and any uppity kid that slaps me will find that you accumulate a lot of dirty tricks in five decades.

I'll settle for "oldish".

I told my husband, sister, and brother in law this story today. They are all 61. I don’t consider them elderly.

Yep. "Old age and guile beats youth and a bad haircut" any day.

LOL! I guess to someone under 30, we are elderly, but at 62 I still work 50 hours a week, climb mountains and can make a tin can dance from 50 paces with my .45.

“61 is not elderly.”

You’re not kidding. I’m old enough to be his mother.

I once called The Boston Globe for over-using the term elderly,such as in this case,and asked them why they never referred to Ted Kennedy as our elderly Senator. They hemmed and hawed,as usual.(Ted was about 75 at the time).

61, elderly??!! This article had to be written by a 20-something. I am not far from that age, and am a fitness trainer (became certified at 52). I am a woman. I out press people 30 years younger and am in better shape. This really burns me!!!
