Looks like I am in the majority grouping, 46-55. Old is relative, my neighbors call me "young man" but they are 80. :o

I'm 70 and in Ohio us old farts get a free hunting & fishing license.  I always thought 70 would be too old to do anything, but I hunt and fish actively.  I can walk a long way with my mountain cur, Scooter, and I really don't feel old.  I saw a church marquee once that said, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?"  I like that!

I am 51 now, and enjoying life more now then I thought you could at this age.
Although, from time to time, I go to bed at 51, and wake up 95.

39--and feel about 39.  Not 20's anymore but not 60's either.  I get sore after a couple hours of basketball, but still play.
I have noticed though, that with 3 kids (13, 10, 7) that I am more like my parents were than I ever thought I'd be

I hope so!! I was 29 until I hit 45, then things started to hurt. At 50, the knees and shoulders didn't have the give and take anymore. At 60, the weather looks nastier than I remember for outdoor activities. So, I hope it takes longer to get to 65 than it did to get from 50-60! LOL
