But I still have the brain of a twenty year old!
Still can laugh at someone that trips over a crack in the sidewalk (and laugh as they look at what they tripped over) still can laugh at anyone falling down.....and more
Still love heavy metal and im 45 years old.
I can remember when sex class taught chicks how to you use a cotex, and guys what could happen if they sunk it it in.....Man, im sounding like BarbD with her post about her day in the sun.
Ive come to realise that I am not old , if im 45 with long hair and still love heavy metal music....I am no way old......am I?
Fuck your answer it dont matter......LOL

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Age is all a state of mind. If you keep your interests and keep your eyes and ears open to new things you'll stay young in your heart forever.

Older than me. Whatever that happens to be at the time.
One of the advantages of getting older is that middle-aged people (who used to look like warmed-over death to me when I was twenty) now don't look.....too bad at all.
Everybody's getting prettier every year.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

45 ain't old!
I still feel, in my mind, that I am a ten year old .. but my body tells me different. It pisses me off that my bod doesn't recoup after an injury, like it did when I was 20!
What was it, mid July when I broke my neck? I am still fighting to get back to the way I was before the accident!
The first time I felt that I was old, was when talking to an employee of mine, whom I considered an adult, and I discovered that I was the same age, or older, than his parents!
Shit, now I am finding that I am in the same age bracket as their GRANDPARENTS!!! FUCK!!! Maybe I am old ...
Gramps Chuckie-poo ...
Edited to add: Now I find I qualify for senior citizen discounts, in a lot of places!

From the 50's I was born in, it's another world now.
Compared to the era of the 60's and 70's I grew up in, I'm ancient.
To the 80's and 90's, I'm older.
But younger than the next 10's decade.
So now, between older and younger.

I've always thought that age is a number, "old" depends on how you feel. Sure, age does brings things with it, but plenty depends how you deal with it.
Ok, I'm only 27, but I feel a lot younger than I did at 14. I'll probably never feel that old again, lol. And I plan to misbehave the more the older I get... Perhaps I'll even wear a bikini at 70! 
It's still funny (in a sad way) that young mums (who are about my age) refer me as 'ma'am' or 'lady' they talk to their kids...  I don't quite get that; what's wrong with 'woman'? 
My mum is 63, but looks like 43. I had an uncle who was more active at 90 than most people are at 20. And it's odd that my great aunt has better memory than I do and she's 88. Whoops...

I'm not "old" and I never will be. 
Age isn't a number, its an attitude. There isn't anyone here who I consider "old". To me you're all just "you", the people you are and you're my friends because I enjoy spending time with you not because we're in the same age bracket.
What a wasted life it would be if we stopped doing the things we want just because they aren't "appropriate" to our age.
Okay, enough typing. I'm off to ring doorbells and run away

I've always thought that woman are at their loveliest in their late thirties/ early forties. The beauty of getting older is that those 'older women' are now the same age as me, so they take me a bit more seriously than they did when I was twenty something.

Age is mind over matter -- if you don't mind - it don't matter....
Some people are OLD at 20 -- some are still young at 90. And just because there's snow on the roof don't mean there's not a lot of hunt left in the old dog.. oh hell never could get my metaphors straight
I laugh about being OLD, but I've had a heck of a lot of fun getting here and plan to have a lot more fun before it's over (right Chuck?).

Old is whatever age I am and then add ten
In a full day of hard work I can still grind a 20 or 30 year old into the ground and keep going. The only difference is the next day they will be reaching for coffee, I'll be reaching for Motrin .
Age is a matter of mind Jonny and from the sound of it you are blessed with eternal youth I can picture it now; you @ 97 with the 3-three foot long strands of hair that are still left on your head, air guitaring to the tunes of the same heavy metal song over and over again because you are so scenile you forgot you just played it before and you are as happy as a clam. By then you will have posted your 10,000,000th post on CH.com
Bro, ya aint old until you think you are old. I still think of myself as being in my late 20's in my mind although the body has had it's protests against my mind. LOL
Rock on bro!

When I can no longer get jiggy, when I can no longer get my groove on, when I can no longer rock and roll, I will be old.
Not there yet, but I'm gettin' there.

I'll feel old when:
I have an overwhelming urge to go buy a bingo dabber.
I never check my mirrors when changing lanes
I wake up in the morning and I'm not sporting wood
I can never trust a fart
Or when I'm 45, sport long hair and listen to heavy metal music and laugh at people falling on their asses!
Sorry jonny!

I am 44 and feel 20.
Mountain biking with 20 yr old's and kicking their buts is great.
I consider old is when I am put in a home and bitch about everything, and no one comes and visits, wet my bed, can't clean myself. That is what I consider old.
For now I will keep biking hopefully well into my 80's.

Get old? oh HELL no! LOL I still feel 20ish and have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
In a few years, I'll be taking Adriana out rollerblading!
Old age is definitely an attitude. You only become old when you let yourself be old.
Jimmers, that was f'in funny! lol

I felt quite differently about my age two/three years ago. I was 50 feeling early thirties with the fantasies of a 20 year old.
Now that body parts are wearing out and being removed, knees are shot and needing replacement in the near future and sex performance is iffy at best I definately feel my 53 years. Getting out of bed in the morning and walking I swear I'm damn near 70.
Guess I'm getting closer of going into the afterlife with a shot body and exclaiming " That was a hell of a ride".
My wife on the other hand is 47 and looks 30. Some mornings that 40 year difference is a topic of a crappy discussion. Oh well, just shoot me!

So, what you're saying is that old is a state of both body AND mind?
