If there is no money and the kids do not care, it must be frightening to get older.❤

Thank you so much

Where I live old age begins at around 15.

According to my researches I have discovered that there was a time in the not too far distant past when human beings lived many hundreds and even thousands of years. To wit, the Sumerian King Lists and the story regarding Methuselah; even if the Bible is only half right, that chap would have lived nearly 500 years. At 73.5 I believe I am just coming out of adolescence as I am beginning to put some important pieces together to make sense of this cosmic circus we're in. I ride a motorcycle; a 650, Kawasaki Versys. In two riding seasons since I bought the bike I've clocked over 26,000 km on it. I also write books, compose classical cross over music in Logic Pro X and I paint pictures, lots and lots of pictures to the point my studio is overflowing with inventory. I have a clowder of three wonderful furry friends who I take care of and I read a lot, a whole lot. Indeed, my home has many filled book cases in every room except the bathrooms. However, there are books there, just not shelves of them. A lot of my time is also spent watching documentaries of various sorts from motorcycling to history or geography films. My life is eclectic and eccentric at the same time. I just got a new chain and front sprocket on my bike today and can't wait to go riding again. If your life is boring, do yourself a favour, go get yourself a motorcycle and train up to riding the thing. Do not buy too big a bike for your skill levels and definitely invest in good quality gear: boots, pants, jacket, gloves and a full face helmet; black tin pots and open face turtle shells are useless and will not do much to protect you if you come off your bike. Avoid coming off your bike by training, training, and more training. Watch motorcycle videos of how to and how not to ride and consider every one driving four wheelers + that they are deaf, dumb and blind. So, train to make sure you are always visible, do not consume alcohol when riding, keep your distance and always consider every ride another training opportunity. Because both of your brains are engaged when riding a motorcycle and your body is vibrated and you have to handle the five hundred pound plus beast and keep it upright; you get fit and stay youthful. And, engage with and befriend young people. I have a lot of friends who are 30 or more years younger than me. A lot of poor ageing is also due to a bad attitude and poor mood. Me, I'm always fabulous, even if I have a tummy ache or whatever. I am just happy to have woken up this morning and got to ride my bike to the shop for a new chain, as I said. So, my advice is live and do stuff. Get out of your comfort zones. If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much space anyway. Go hard or go home. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It is Never2Late. Have a happy life, all of you reading this. If you put my name into your browser you will see who I am. Cheers and ride safe.

Old age begins when one starts having body physical limitations. Yeah, those damn limitations! 😂😂😂

Once we reach 35 onwards then that's it.Old age is catching up and 40 is the start of the game.

It's all in the mind 😂😂

Great As a man thinkers in his heart so is he. I’m. 68 don’t feel or act old and I think I’m far from old

Every one, at some point/ stage in life, knows that one is old now as he can’t perform certain mundane tasks! Though his brain is still sharp and discerning! And it usually happens, different in each case though, in between 70 to 80 years span! There may be exceptions to it in some cases!!

It's a paradox, we all want a long life, yet no one wants to get old.

Old age 70

Hi

My dictionary defines middle age as 40-60. I'm currently 61 & consider myself old.

Britain is ridiculously ageist but I was ageist when I was young so I put it down to karma

80

These days i'd say 68 is when the shift begins. I am 55 and feeling v strong.

Yes bosses are ageist.

First grey hairs, so early-30s.

Old age began when I realized my ability to maintain interest in certain activities like running lost its appeal, balding became noticeable, and pain from bone loss enhanced. No particular age, more so a particular point in life!

I need to find such a class in Aireborough/Horsforth areas in Leeds, W.Yorkshire. can you help me please?

1 to 20 : Childhood (includes babyhood and teenage) 21 to 40 : Young age 41 to 60: middle-age 60 above : old age

I typed in 50-70 government and this showed up!

Why worry all going to be older . Relax 65 years not worried incase you full of fear..... Does it matter Gone on..till time began ... its not about us. Its about young people. Maria Gligan

You know that you’re old when friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you’re barefoot.

I am a 59 year old bloody good legal Secretary and it is their loss if they don't interview me.

I see no ships, only hardships.

At 57 I can't think of a better time to be an advocate for ageing better. I never bought into the old narratives of our ageing parents and grandparents anyway. I Just bought the book and as a blogger and American expat living in Yorkshire, I look forward to implementing activities suggested to shine light on the subject on both sides of The Pond. Here's to growing older gratefully.

A positive, realistic and honest report from Anna Dixon. A valuable Manifesto on a most urgent subject, with a genuine ''wake up and shake up'' call. Anna speaks to all active leaders, at national and local level, urging serious collaboration and planning, in order to secure the future health and wellbeing of nations.

With respect this is a privileged person and not typical of her age group.

As a single pensioner, home-alone on lockdown and living below the poverty line, I've found the cost of being online prohibitive; participating in Zoom meetings, whilst relying on an old computer with very little memory and, therefore, an unstable connection is particularly stressful. facebook.com/3rdager/

virtually all female audience as well.

Definitely 17

It has taken COVID to accelerate the spread of digital access to those that need it most. I hope all other city's and authorities take a look at these pioneers and accelerate their plans and support.

Thank you for this. What an incredible mix! I feel desperately sorry for the folk who find themselves seemingly abandoned or side-lined when in, or approaching retirement. I want to be able to stand up and shout, "Old age brings with it a precious asset, something that cannot be bought, it is earned only by staying alive. It's called Life Experience." And it has never been easier to record your memories and even get them into print, than it is today. There is plenty of help available for those who want it. My first novel was written when I was 73, in a sort of lockdown imposed by chemotherapy. Four more have followed; I have a new career. I am now eighty-two. Please, just go for it, you can do something similar, if you try.

Just a line to promote the excellent U3A (University of the Third Age). Addressing loneliness and isolation through lifelong, self-help, shared learning projects and a huge and diverse range of activities is at the heart of what U3As do. In Sheffield we are working with the University's Healthy Lifespan Institute on their important research agenda. Join your local U3A now!

Hello, Like Trudie, I couldn't watch the live transmission but now that I have it was most interesting and useful to us. May I suggest that you watch our website at: www.lead50plus.com where here in Derbyshire we have a great IT set-up for people of all ages, regardless of age, and currently we are keeping in touch with people isolated at home by using the ZOOM video sessions - Roy Smith. (longeaton50plus@yahoo.co.uk).

Well worth attending the online event, thanks.

I couldn't join yesterday due to technical issues, but really enjoyed listening to this. It's given me a lovely end to the day. Thank you.

🙏🏽

@ 55 you qualify for the senior coffee at McDonald's.

Spot on Anna. Lets hope that at least some of the politicians are listening. After all quite a few of them are ageing too!
