Yo got me curious so I did a search; the CDC has it at 78.8, SSA estimates if you turn 65 now it is 84.3; so the .gov can't agree with itself - again....still...... Quote HistoryQuoted:

What's the average life span now 78 or so - I guess by the time you are in you 60's you are going to have to claim it (and I'm way too close to it to like saying this). You're looking at different numbers. 78.8 is the number if you simply average out age of death in this country. Of those that make it to 65, on average they live to 84.3. |

Ask me when I get out of bed... and stuff just hurts.
Old doesn't mean what it once did. For me, it's because I have arrived. Generally, "old" has had years added to it. Folks are just living longer. Old... seventy-ish... maybe even beyond. buckmeister |

You're old when people tell you how patient you are, but you know the truth is you simply don't care anymore.

Cops don't show up, you're old and the neighbors feel sorry for ya. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'd say old is when you really start to feel it in your body and slow down. When you actually feel it. Numbers don't really mean shit. I totally agree with your observation XCR. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Old is when you only care about your own opinion of yourself. It's when you wear whatever you please because it suits you. It's when you treat other people the way you'd like to be treated. I think that's called the, "golden rule," by some. It's when you've got better things to think about than how old you are, and what you lack, and instead choose to think positively and look for the good in life and other people. It's when you love more and know that it's more blessed to give than to receive. I'm 64 and I've got a lot more living to do, however long that is.  +1...........63 in a couple of months Roy |

I once knew a man in Memphis who said, "You're not old till you're 100.", he was 97 then and had a sharp mind untill he passed away in his sleep a week or so after his 100th birthday. His wife died a couple of years before him after 77 years of marriage.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 4,600,007,542 years is old. But I am a geologist and have a different view of "old." Old for a head of lettuce! For a mountain? Not yet begun in years. |

Ran marathons at 100 http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/09/sport/fauja-singh-marathon-oldest/ Singh's fastest time is the five hours and 40 minutes he took to run the 2003 Toronto Waterfront Marathon at the age of 92. Eight years later he returned to the Canadian event to become the first marathon centenarian, this time clocking more than eight hours. |

Perpetually 10 years older than what I am, on any given day.
I'll be 60 and bitching out the "old farts". If I don't stroke out, first. |

Turning 60. Wife is still only 36.
Love being this age. Barely work anymore. Plenty of funds for toys. Friends that go back 50+ years. Have a beautiful 8 year old little girl that makes me smile daily. Have nothing to do for the next 100 days. Plan to boat the Cape (Cod), shoot a shit load of ammo, screw my great looking wife as much as possible. Life has never been better

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Abraham Lincoln once said "A man is as old as he makes up his mind to be". By that reasoning I'm about 30 yo. Works for me By that logic, I'm 45 going on 13. But that could just be my maturity level.
