Old? Me? Don't be silly.

Growing old is inevitable.
Growing up is optional .
I choose the latter! ?

Early 60 s - definitely young at heart!

I'm 71 and I certainly don't feel old.

I shall be 79 on the 29th and lucky to have inherited 'young genes'. I don't look my age - whatever that means? - and I still teach tai chi. I'm slower than I used to be and become tired more easily, but like Toffeesmum I still have an eye for the young men!

but like Toffeesmum I still have an eye for the young men!
Taichinan That's what I like to hear!
Now when do we get to the next part of the proceedings where you all saunter nonchalantly down the catwalk in your latest bikini outfits!? (The intelligence questions can wait!)
As advised, I need to make the most of my later years!
Good Health!

Where did the years go? I wish they'd come back.

I think it hit me I may be getting a bit old when both my sons are over 40.........are they middle aged?

Thank you all so much for your responses. What a lovely lot of photos and so many positive replies.

This thread seems to have turned the anonymity of Gransnet into something more like Facebook today!

Facebook is alien to me, never seen it. I do hope that this thread hasn't put you off posting, everybody's input counts, it's what makes Gransnet.

I'm 94 and I'm not old, never have been. Mind I look a bit older than I did last year as my hair is now grey for the first time because I haven't been to a hairdresser since February. Doesn't stop me dressing and acting quarter my age, though.

Well done Sharman, 94. There's a pictorial joke somewhere, I must try and find it for you. It depicts Pope Benedict, the one who retired. There's a photo of him with the caption: "I'm 85, I must retire."

Then you see a photo of our queen, like you, she's 94. And the caption on her photo reads: Wuss!

Got my ears pierced at 72 yrs! Had enough of the old ladies look of clip ons. Now several years later am still enjoying shopping for colourful clothes.

My friends son asked his mum,who was about 40 at the time,if they had stage coaches in Ireland when she was little.I'm lucky,I don't have any wrinkles,but since my last surgery I have not much hair,but I look O.K.when I'm wearing my wig.I'm seveny four but most people think I'm in my fifties which is really nice.

Mentally I feel young and No facial lines at 71 but my body feels it’s age as I’m not so speedy as I used to be

You all look damn fantastic, not one of you looks your age.Crikey we're all lucky to have survived thus far.We are a celebration of ourselves !

My DH says I think like a 40yo, but my 65yo body won't let me do those things.

I am 67 years young. When I see reports on TV about elderly people and then they are only 62! WHAT! My mother is 98, now that is old. I don't have an old lady haircut, I am not grey (naturally I might add) nor do I wear old lady clothes (I am tall and a slim size 12). I am comfortable with myself.
