So if "elderly" is over 65, and "middle aged" is 24 - 48, then what are 49 - 64 year olds?

Tomas, I don't know what the range is in Spain, but middle age here in the US is generally 40-60.

So I'm both middle-aged and a young adult? I'm torn between wanting to be flattered and wanting to express outrage.

Ha Hah. You've got some weird ideas there, Tomas. Interesting.

I especially enjoyed the "20-24 adolescents" one.

I know some 24 year olds that would definitely qualify as adolescent. Some even older than that.

I'm disabled and beyond the help of nomenclature (or anything else, including God). Does this mean you won't speak to me anymore, Tomas? Say it ain't so!:p

No, I'm not going to stop talking to any of you. But 2 major events might happen during the summer

1- well, school's over, so I can't talk to you from school.

2-My 3 month free period from AOL is due on 18 or 19 of June which might mean no Internet from home either.

here is an idea. Tell me which ISP (internet service provider) would be within a reasonable range ($10 and down/month) I am not asking for high speed or DSL, just good ol' fashioned dial-up

with that over. yes, it is facinating the way it seems, ever since you are 24 you become both middle-aged and a young adult.

I'm 15 going on 16, so I don't have to really worry.
