Here I am today on my birthday: 66 and elderly !

Happy Birthday mate ... and many happy returns

My wife used to say that everyone born is young, buit being able to reach older ages is a privilege, denied many who are born. I wear my grey hairs, scar and buggered joints with pride.

Best Wishes

I was also born at a very young age.

I have some buggered joints too - some due to wear and tear, aka age, and some caused by injury.

Here’s an item in Cardiovascular News about a study on TAVI (TAVR) being suitable for younger patients: www.cardiovascularnews.com/favourable-hospital-outcomes-younger-patients-undergoing-tavi/ Younger patients being under 75 "Registry data for younger patients—under 75 years—undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation”.
So we’re “young” till we are 75

Just 'cause someone is elderly doesn't mean they're not attractive Happy Belated Birthday.

I'm elderly too! It's great, mortgage and cars paid off with the kids out of school! Now I can follow the maxim, "Life's too short for bad liquor."

The real nebulous age is "middle age". The average life expectancy in the UK is ~80, so one is "middle aged" between 40-60 or maybe even 30-60. However nobody in their late 30s or early 40s believes they are middle aged. That doesn't happen until 50 right?

I still think (as does @pellicle) that Peter Pan was right. . .

"Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is not."

At 71, I realize that I am now considered "old." But I do not, by any means, feel as old as my father must have felt when he died at 68. His last few years, he really slowed down . . .not the gentle decline I have experienced. I think that public awareness, better medical care and diet have made it possible for many of us to act a lot younger than previous generations did at the same chronological age. I just hope it lasts.

"Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is not."

agreed ... but I bet Peter didn't suffer from arthritis or the accumulation of injuries on (oh ... say) knees, big toe joints and elbows...

I ain't old but I'm hearing the messages and toning back to keep it all lubricated (senovial fluid) but "keep using it" so that I don't lose it (as fast) ;-)
