Probably some age 20 person. hahaha

Here's my list:
- age 0 - 19: You are a child
- age 20 - 39: Your prime years
- age 40 - 59: middle age
- age 60 - 79: Face it, you're old now
- age 80 - 99: Lucky you~!
- age 100 and over - quit spending all your money on doctors and buy
good booze, rich food, etc.

Good list!

Thinking about it, equating 40 with "over the hill" is probably a
throwback to the days when life expectancy was much shorter. Now it's
just an excuse to razz someone. The party decoration stores must
love it!

I didn't mind turning 30, 40 or 50. For some reason it's never been a
big deal to me. I don't really feel much different than I did when I
was in my 30's. Age is a number. No need to panic!

I had to look up Petersilerdäpfeln but they turn out just to be boiled
potatoes with parsley.

My take: If life expectancy is 80, half way, or the top of the hill is
40 so it is downhill from their.

For me, 40 was just another day, but my wife did have a party for me.
50 was a reaching of a certain maturity level, a positive thing. 60 was
like achieving senior statesman status.

Physically, I have some limits I never considered before, and aches and
pains., mentally, I feel as good as ever. Looking forward to 70 and 80 too

I always thought that middle age started at 50! My eldest son turns 40 in 11
days and his wife next May. In neither case would I consider them to be
middle-aged and if you met my d-i-l, you'd agree!

Just wanted to tell you that I *LOVE* the gingerbread recipe you gave
me and have re-posted it several times with people ask for one. I've
never gone "all the way" with the pear upside down part because that
gingerbread is so gol-durned delicious all by itself!

I always thought so too but now at 54, I realize that others think that is
elderly.

I suppose in ages past many wouldn't have survived much beyond 50. In
comparison people of a same age are positively spring chickens

And my list up there varies too. All is give or take a few years. and
then there is young middle age and older middle age. It's a 20 year
time-span.

I'm 60 now but I still have all my hair and teeth and I don't look TOO
old. I can still do what I want to as far as activities, like long
bike riding, running, rollerbladeing. At work, I'm healthier and more
active than the younger fellows I work with. I still like learing at
hot young women but I'm not an old pervert, I've just always liked
looking at hot young women. My body has gotten older but not my mind.
Look at Hugh Hefner....he's like 200 years old now and creapy wearing
his bathrobe around the mansion all the time...but he still gets the
hot young women. eheh

spread their legs for money. It's not just women though....some men

You'll still find that, Wayne. But while there is a lot of thread
drift, some of us still do talk about food and share recipes.

You were busy with the big move and it's really easy to be distinctly
uninterested in all the baiting, nitpicking and quibbling that goes on

Males are "over-the-hill" at 39, females at 42. I'm defining "over-the-hill" as past the midpoint of life expectancy.

http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care...6adm-5att8.pdf

You may have your own definition, but mine has a basis is actual statistics.
0-27----> young
28-54----> middle aged
55+----> old
