Just out of curiosity. When does a person become “elderly”? Are we old in our 60’s and elderly in our 70”s?
From experience, I can tell you that the older you get the farther away elderly is. ;-)
I’m in my 60’s and I still laugh at fart jokes. I will never be elderly.
I’m 41 and received mail from AMAC today.
Today? It should be over 80, at least.
My mom is 87 and 4 times a week she picks up 3 women over 90 and takes them to the senior center where they play cards and eat Italian food.
Well at least before the dictator wannabees shut everything down.
My uncle Joe is 92 and plays tennis and golf twice a week each and works at a soup kitchen.
When I was 10 and my grandmother was 80, she was OLD.
Never left the house, just cooked and sat in front of the TV..and prayed :)
You were supposed to act old after 70 back then.
And perhaps things that kept one incapacitated back then are treated quite well now.
Times definitely change.

20 years older than the writer.
I was watching an original Perry Mason the other day and this lady PAINFULLY says “you have no idea how awful it is when you grow old.” I looked her up. When the elisode aired she was 57!! A kid!
To me...’elderly’ implies an older person that is infirmed.
They say you’re as young as you feel. Personally I feel like crap!

Ask some Dem acquaintences when people qualify for the euthanasia death squads on the new Dem health system plan. If they need more money for socialism they can lower the age and kill more people. I am 74 and may not like the answer.
They say in China it costs too much money to give benefits to so many people, so it's advantageous for the regime to have some killed off. They promote abortions to cause fewer new children and euthanasia to get rid of medically expensive older ones.
“Elderly” is just a weak euphemism for “old” that over time and over used has pretty much lost its euphemistic quality.
Don’t know. I’m 78 and don’t feel either
50+ is elderly to my local Teeny Bopper newspaper byline writers.
They get elderly at a much later age than when I was young. LOL

Elderly is someone at least 20 years older than me. It’s a moving target.
Just out of curiosity. When does a person become “elderly”
its got some legal reasons
because some laws have enhancers if the person is older than a certain age
