Re: Are you 'old' for your age?
I've found that not having kids helps. I've never had to grow up. 
(Having a husband ten years younger than me may also help.)

Re: Are you 'old' for your age?
My feet did actually grow during my mid 20's, although I wouldn't attribute it to getting older.
Before I got pregnant with my daughter, and in the beginning, I wore a size 8 shoe. By the end I was a 9 and have ever since. I was very ticked off that all of my shoes that I had at age 25 no longer fit and had to replace everything. From sandals, to dress shoes, winter boots, running shoes, hockey skates, etc. It was fun replacing some of it, most of it was just annoying though as I really liked the ones I had before.
So yes, women's feet can grow... although I suspect having babies to be more the cause than getting older.

Re: Are you 'old' for your age?
Yes I am, since we've been here Ive aged alot, healthwise gone down hill too!
Have you noticed that some people seem to run towards old age, an old friend of mine always seemed 'old' and now he is officially a pensioner he seems to love it as though it didnt come soon enough.
Some people seem older than their years, some people seem alot younger. Personally I havent grown up that much and still find childish things funny.
Although I dont consider myself to be MDAL, I do find alot of the clothes aimed at females my age to be rather frumpy - well in Perth anyway, can't speak for anywhere else.
My sister is a grandmother at 50 years old and doesnt look her age at all, doesnt act it either and not in a bad way, in fact I think she is rather fantastic.
There is nothing wrong with getting older, some people are just as busy in their retirement as they were when they were working - just in a different way.
Are you young at heart? Do you act your age? Do you look your age? Have you kept the young/naughty streak you always had?
Has bad health made you 'old' or a life changing event made you 'young' in your approach to life?
My Mum told me once, 'who said you have to act your age?' and I think she is right. There are no rules that say you have to be sensible all of the time I guess.

I get sicker quicker now, but then I have 3 pre-schoolers to pass it all on. If anything I am fitter as I exercise more, this as a rule is true for me, when I was younger I relied on natural fitness more but also needed it more.

Re: Are you 'old' for your age?
I just want to say that this thread has made me laugh until I cried 
The "bigfoot" theory set me off and I couldn't stop, I'm still laughing now

Let's see if you think it's so funny when they have you banged up in the, 'Sunshine Rest Home For The Very Gullible', while they're out spending the money from the sale of your house. 
Right. I'm nipping this in the bud straight away. This is exactly how nasty rumours get started.
