I don’t like this story.

I’m 67 and still pretty vital. I don’t like a 67 year old person being labeled as ‘elderly.’

Guess it depends on your health and vitality.

I could have accepted “Senior Citizen.” Elderly just sounds like he’s an escapee from a nursing home.

Give me a number. What’s elderly? I’m 78 and vital and if that’s not elderly, I dunno what is.

Labels are just that................ Labels.

Agreed, my good FRiend.

I'm 74, just ran about 3 miles today, and I'm anything but elderly.

If someone wanted to call me old, I'd challenge them to a 5 mile race followed by a game of concentration.

To people in their 20s you're ancient. Don't sweat it.

Yup. I can relate to that. But elderly makes a better headline

I was about to say the same, but I am 64. I do not think 67 is “elderly.” Eighty is elderly.

At least, I would want to be able go out in public wearing long white robes, carrying a staff, and issuing Commandments that the young’uns are forced to listen to. :)
