i like the term "oldster" myself. it's non-gender specific which is nice.
i'm 32, definitely not an oldster, but i have many good friends who definitely are oldsters, 60+. i've always had a good age spread in my friendships, i don't actually do well with people my own age, my friends tend to be much younger than me, or much older. one of my high school teachers became a really good friend, he's well over 60 now, and we're still in touch.

| I tend to favor "Distinguished Gentleman," and I've occasionally been tagged with "Elder Statesman." |

codger being left off the choices poisons the poll.

Yes, my apologies. I had two senior moments while typing up the choices: I left the 'e' out of 'fogey' and left 'codger' off the list of choices. What can I say? I think I'll crawl off into a corner and drool till the Grim Reaper comes.
My mom has her dad's cane stored away. I'm half-way looking forward to the time I can use it to whack disrespectful younguns upside the head. |

We can be like they are

I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

SuperFly,
Thanks for the Simon and Garfunkel blast from the past.
One question: Is your favorite movie "OLD Yeller" ? |
