You're only as old as you feel. I don't think of myself as old, although I just turned 65. My youngest brother will be 60 at the end if the year and he's taken to refer to me as "eldery". I keep telling him NOT TO- I don't look my age and never have.

@MaryJanine yes true but sometimes it is a case the mind is strong but the body is weak as the saying goes 🤣

@smiler2012 I am on a walker and stiff in the knees, but Joint-Flex helps me get where I am going, When I moved in here, my brother told me as we got out of the car, "Shut up. Don't say a word. I'll do the talking."

Well, he did. He answered all the questions and controlled the interview - that is, until the representative turned to me and said, "Are you the youngest?"

I smiled and said to her, "No. I'm the oldest."

There are ten months between me and my brother, but he thinks he knows it all and I know nothing. He didn't say another word for the rest of the interview. How did it turn out? Well, I got in here, didn't I?
