Has anyone seen my Geritol?

[perth]

It's under the Depends.

[elSicomoro]

Thank you...where's my hearing aid?

[perth]

What?

A gentleman does not "kiss and tell," but then I never suspected you of being one, anyhow.

The 10 year statute of limitations on not talking about it passed 8 years ago. And I am a gentleman. I'm just not a sucker.

The statute of limitations on such matters is a life time one, as any lady would inform you.

I don't either. But I'm "middle-aged", which is practically "geriatric" so I'm probably not expected to understand much.

y'all make me laugh. I didn't say that Middle aged meant geriatric. is more like either senile or active

or in other perspective: the glass is filled right at the middle. to some is half empty, to others half full. it just depends on the person.

so the question is; who in here considers him/her-self senile and who is active?

[wolf]

The beauty of senility is that nobody who has it knows it.

[SteveDallas]

I'm senile. No question. (I'm definitely not active!!!)

Tomas if you are suggesting that a person of 24 has reached their half way point then you have a very pessimistic view of the average lifespan:P

[Catwoman]

I think you meant sessile.

the average lifespan is 72 years for men and 75 for women. divide those digits by 2 and you get 36 and 37.5 respectively.

however, that is just math. Demographically people retire from work at 65.

and Webster's definition of Senile is: adj. [L. senilis, from sen-, senex; old old man.] sumited in 1661 1-of, relating to, exhibiting, or charactheristic of old age. <~ weakness> especially: exhibiting a loss of mental faculties associated with old age.

CHECK YOURSELF

[Catwoman]

Yes but you said senile or active, sessile being the opposite of active.

Indeed....which is why I was suggesting that 24 is a rather low midway point.....Even if you took it from retirement age you still only end up with a midway point of 32/33.......and thats another thing...We were discussing age in relation to lifespan so it is kind of irrelevant how old or young people are at retirement. The only statistic relevant to the discussion of where to place the midway marker is how long you live not how long you work :P

ooops, my misstake. Ok , so the true middle-age is between 32-35. let me change the table.

Ok.

here are the range groups that I have developed. they are not, in any way legal, nor are they used in common lang.

0-9mths. babies
10mths - 3yrs toddlers
4-7 kids
8-10 pre-teens
10-19 teens
20-24 adolescents
24-48 adults
which comprise of
24-31 young adults
32-35 middle aged
36-64 mature adults
65->> Elderly

Now, How's That?
