Oh let's liven it up some...

Nice to see you've let yourself go gray, Don.

Nice to see you've let yourself go gray, Don.

Ha! Only because I am so allergic to hair color.

Elderly...

Oh, I thot they took that out. The work of some youngster I suppose.

 

[Diver Dennis]

Well, I'm going on 49 later this month Don and I have a looooooong way to go before elderly. What is the definition of elderly anyway? Like 90 and above?

 

[DandyDon]

Technically I suppose the definition fits...

American Heritage Dictionary - eld·er·ly (ěl'dər-l&#275 adj.
1. Being past middle age and approaching old age; rather old.
2. Of, relating to, or characteristic of older persons or life in later years.

Maybe we could change the language? Dutch: bejaard

The "rather old" reference is a bit much. 49 huh? If life expectancy is around 72 or so, then middle aged would start around 36 I guess and range to around 54 or so - depending on how you look at it.

 

[Diver Dennis]

I feel like 15 sometimes but others I feel like 50. All in the mind I guess Don...


I do think that elderly is an offensive term.

 

[DandyDon]

Yeah it'd be different if "respect your elders" was still taught.

 

[Diver Dennis]

And reinforced with a bit of spanking...
