"aging" and what????? Do you object to the category title being 'Aging and Elder Care"?

Here is my first post

here:

I am thinking that this forum would be better titled Aging and Ripening or something, dropping the Elder Care

part from this particular forum. I posted in the Parenting forum area about Dependent Care, and that is where I think Elder

Care may be better suited.

As someone that is OVER a half-century young now, I don't like to see Aging so 'close'

to a reminder of inevitable and not enviable stages of life! I can hardy wait during these next 20 years - all my life I

figured that "the best was yet to be" and I have so far, found it so.

So, what do you think of a category title

change, and what should it become?

Craven: This is

one case I think you really should hold your vote and let your 'elders' speak!

(LOL!

ahahahahhahha!)

{....cackle! snork! wheeze!}

BTW I think (REALLY) that aging is a topic appropriate to any age

group poster - just depends what the particular discussion topic is. For example, I can see posts discussing grandkids, a

post discussion who's planning a cool retirement, who is never going to retire, being all of 30 instead of a

20-something...and so and and sew fourth... Shocked

"Retired People" is a good choice. I don't like anything foolish associated with old age. Even jokes.

I belong to a group of retired professionals and wouldn't you know there are several old people that just love to draw attention to themselves through self deprecation; how they get constipated, forget appointments, have problems with their wee wee etc. etc. I find that to be gross behavior. It runs contrary to acting young and shooting for younger women.

Can one really defy the inevitability of passing time with a clever spin?

Nope, but it IS a good way of feeding into the national obsession of youth, by attempting to be oh-so clever about growing older.

Phoenix--

A Pennsylvania Dutch saying, immortalized on tens and thousands of tea towels and other Dutch Country momentos:

We get too soon old and too late smart.

Senior Citizens as a group are much more active and enterprising than they used to be--but we're still "senior".

Those people who deny the inevitablity of aging are all muttering the subtext, "I'm too young to die."

Noddy- Have you noticed that the older that a person gets, his/her definition of "elderly" changes?

Phoenix--

I come from a long line of women who bragged about their increasing years and accumulating wisdom..

Of course there are many more younger people around than there used to be, but essentially--except for the creaky bones and the more tolerant mind, I haven't changed much.
