yeah Dove, "You are as old as the man you feel honey", my MIL was "elderly" at 50, normally folk think I am a lot younger than I am, not many wrinkles, my oldest 48 says I make her feel old. However, I have de quervans at the moment, both hands worst in left (of COURSE I am left handed, wearing wrist/thumb brace, so I am the little old lady at the mo, who cant get the bloody money out of her purse and holds the queue up. Anyone on here got it, I want tips and ecouragement, cos Bank Holiday Monday I couldnt cut up my breakfast sat and cried. Have a cousin went to see her the other day 92, and would kill you for saying she was old.
I hope I'm not as old as the man I feel - he's nearly 10 years older than me!
Main problem with getting older is arthritis. After 41/2 hours of pulling up weeds yesterday my hands couldn't do gardening today. Did housework and ironing instead.

I think I need to apologise for the use of the word 'elderly'. I didn't realise it was such an emotive word. The reason for my OP was that we hear so much about how young people need to be protected from the Internet but very little about how much the Internet helps more 'senior' members (hope that's not another emotive word) of society who perhaps can't socialise as well as they used to for various reasons. Anyhow, as everyone here is 27 I was probably asking on the wrong forum. You'd have to add 40 years to that Nancy to find my age. Thanks for all the comments, v. interesting.
You and I could be twins then @achtung 😊 however my OH is almost twenty years younger so when my dodgy knee won’t let me clamber about on the shady bank, I’ve got him to do it for me ... good planning eh?! 😇 👍

My granddaughter regards anyone over 25 as past it so I am not offended by being called elderly, senior, pensioner or anything else at 67. I'm happy that some of the contributors on this site are younger, often starting with their own gardens for the first time, and grateful that there are the more experienced who bring years of knowledge. My understanding is that some sites specialise in criticising and insulting eachother so THIS site is particularly valuable in its generally positive, friendly and helpful approach. And age is irrelevant. Long may it continue.
