Define Old

Years of bicycling have given me a healthy heart, legs and lungs, being a lifetime non-smoker and teetotaler, occasional weightlifter...what is this "old" of which you speak.
 
It happened to me.

Old is when you ask a pretty young lady where she has been all
of your life and she responds with "for most of it I wasn't even
born yet".
 
My first memories of my grandfather was when I was 5 or so. I remember going to his farm to "hide out" during the Cuban missle crisie in 1962. I turned 7 while on the farm. My grandparents were "ancient". I am now two years older than my grandfather was back then. :rolleyes: My wife is seven years older than my old grandmother was back then :eek:
My dad was 31 and my mom was 28. My youngest is 33.
I think old is determined a lot by one's point of view......
 
I'll be 78 tomorrow and don't feel it. Although the male members of my family all passed in their late 60s, I still stay active during daylight hours. I do not live a healthy life, eat what I want, smoke, and eat bacon and all the other forbidden fruits. My goal is to keep going for a few more years and then be a weekly Silver Alert subject until they put me down.
 
I had an old guy tell me once, "my teeth lasted until I was 76". He's still eating with his new set.
 
I didn't really notice OLD until I went to my 60 year high school reunion.
