What makes a person old?
 
A good friend has a milestone birthday coming up and is wondering at what age is a person considered old?

This friend has resorted to wearing glasses when driving and deliberately describes themselves as "hip" to annoy their teenager. :sneaky:

This friend is, in all likelihood, approaching senility.

Now, in her dotage, the aged bat wants to know what are some of the other signs of old age to look out for?

Precisely, it's all in the outlook.

I've also found ingesting vast quantities of Bad Stuff will hasten the process.

That's an optimistic view of life, I approve.

(edit) And agree with brissybee ;)

What makes a person old? Having children. Lack of sleep definitely makes me feel old.

I don't think there's a particular age that makes you old. My husband is 37 so 12 years older than me and I don't feel he acts all that different to how I do!
And I know a guy who's 29 who acts like he's about 50 :blink:.

And I wear glasses to drive, but I'm not old :p but I definitely wouldn't use the word hip...
