Re: I really dont like it when people assume :(
I just wonder where we all get these ideas, from people like our parents, mine was 91 when she died and she was unstopable.

usually they are wrong. I just ignore them and pretend they dont exist, and so they dont :)

I am only 45 but already have a lot of grey hair and can't move well because of arthritis.  My mother is going on 70 and almost unstoppable.  People shouldn't make assumptions    Don't judge a book by its cover.

First of all, it's hard for me to picture you in white hair.  I always think of you as red hair.  Have you given us an updated picture?  Secondly, like you since I have been here, I have gone from dark brown hair to gray/white.  So, I can understand what you are talking about.  Even though I know I'm senior citizen, I hate for others to assume it and to give me a discount for that without me asking for it.  LOL.

Lustorlove - People do have misconceptions about age and having a head full of white hair just makes it even worse. My Dad. before his illness loves to dance and sing and he is 75 and we stand amazed at his vigor and energy. He loves fast cars too so you see there is a young one inside of you no matter how old you are.

I can't really say that right now I have to deal with any stereotypes. As a kid I had to, but that's way too long of a story to tell in a comments section.

and I bet you do too. I always say that you're as old as the woman you feel (quite an interesting thought for a man!)
