I'm not fond of the term "senior citizen" or even "senior." How do you feel about it? I'm sure that a lot of kids resent being called "junior" and this is how I feel about being tagged and labeled a "senior."

What would you suggest in the alternative?

Slow cured?

Well seasoned?

Pickled?

How about Aged and fully ripened?

I am liking 'ripened.'
Except for the pressure of not going 'bad' first.

Funny! I guess I just don't like to be put in a category or box and grouped together with other "specimans." I've never been big on "groupings" and labels...

I do not mine that term. In many ways it is a rite of passage. I have always given respect to any age group. Like the up bringing from my grandparents, parents. Looked up to the way they lived. Not giving a care what others may think. Do give a care how to treat others. How others treated them. It was actions and not words. Indeed times are very different now.

The so called baby boomer's are of a social standards, that has not been seen since the 1920's. Where people do not wish to grow older but live longer. Living each and ever day to heir fullness.

I greet others no matter what age they be. As sir or dear lady. Young people do not like it, but they learn to accept my ways. I hear them at times do greet others the same way.

I do not care for the senior menu at restaurants. With either the discounts or the size of the meals.

I don't like the label, but I do like the discounts.

<------having a senior moment....

I didn't really like it when I was labeled and ranked a "senior" or "junior" or "freshman" etc. in high school...I'm not into "rank and file" and labeling.

I would rather be called a senior than an old hag.

I guess I am still in denial. Being called a sexy senior citizen does sound better than being called an old pervert to me. There are times when I am unsure of whether I am on my second childhood or just continuing the first one. Most of the residents ask me when I am coming to bed but just the other day one resident asked me if I had a girlfriend. I replied, "No." Then she asked me if I wanted one. I answered, "Do you know of some lady who is looking for a boyfriend?" I know that I am not mature because my old English teacher always told me that you aren't supposed to answer a question with another question. I would have to question her maturity as well from not answering my question but just giggling. Because of course mature ladies don't giggle.

Indeed that would be better.





Thank you dear lady for the smile.

You are most welcome

I pay no attention to what I am called as long as it isn't something bad..lol I don't feel old and refuse to sit on the porch and watch the world pass me by!! It's true that I am having to give up some of the things I do now (parasailing and hang gliding) due to getting a new knee but I will find something else as adventureous to do!! And I can still ride my Harley...yea!! Hurry up spring!

Betty you bring fun and laughter indeed.

Carole feisty lady you are indeed.

I can not wait for spring either. Guess I'm just getting on in years.

It was 70 here today!

I am not fond of the term!! It labels you as "old" and I am not even that!!! A form of stereotyping!! Ugh!

I'll let you know how I feel about it when I get to be that age
