In Reply to: What do you consider to be - middle-age? sm

ER-MT	especially with the way we are being "kept alive" longer these days with more and more medical breakthroughs, medicines, proceduers, etc.  It's not uncommon to live into your 80s and 90s any more. On a slightly different note, I felt middle aged the first time a grocery clerk called me "ma'm".  Oh boy did I feel old even though I'm only 48
