Geezer or not?

(An article by Victoria Reid)

Many posts on the internet thing … "I am what old enough to be your mother …", only to discover that the person at the other end of the commentary is more of a certain age to be the mother. I did epithets thinking.There are linked to the elderly. But when it officially became the Elderly? When you're an honest to God Geezer? Are there female Geezers? Can we reach Geezerdom?

I was on a site once with a guy whose screen name "old fart." By revealing some of the dates in your article, it was easy determine who was 42. Okay. People with screen names like "Old Fart" you can go to 42 on Facebook where actually one.

I've been through a great period of introspection. It is a purely statistical observation, so do not complain of mental philosophy and mind and labeling and all that junk, please.

I am well aware of the different stages of life. Infants, children, preschool, primary, secondary Middle School, high school, years of university (or alternative) that leads to 21, more or less. It is a milestone. young adults. After an adult, then the median age nebulous thing.

A theory speculates that the average age of "… life beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age." Such a short circuit full adulthood, but never mind. "There were several attempts to define this age, which is about the third quarter of the average life expectancy of human beings. Also called mid – life, as in the crisis environment. But if it is in the third quarter, can not quarantine, is it now? It would be three-fourths of life.

According to the Dictionary Collins, East – the age is between the ages of 40 and 60. OED from 45 to 60. The U.S. Census includes levels 35 to 44 and from 45 to 54, while Erik Erikson This is defined as an adult between 40 and 65. A little math? There will be a contest.

I did not buy it. Here's why. First, no one agrees. Moreover, there exists a strange emptiness. I'm back at work. 65. It is an absolute. By then you are labeled as high officials and there are great benefits attached. No matter how you feel physically or mentally, just a solid statistical associated with you.

I also with the fact that young adults and adults after 22 and probably through to 35. I will also go to the Middle Ages as the set 35-55. But now we a big hole. 55-65. What's that?

AARP hits you up to 50, I do not know anyone who is a retiree at age 50. 55-65 people get little benefit (Senior Menu at Denny's) but not the full set of goodies for 65 years. So what are they? A demographic limbo? An arbitrary number with no consistent advantage? I've officially decided that are seniors Junior. The average age periphery, if you follow the Census SU. But 10 years of Medi-Care and all.

So … if I'm in middle age, I am not a retiree, I am an older person … I think I'm Junior Senior. But one thing is perfectly clear. I am not an old fool.
