How old is too old...

to have babies~in my opinion that depends on the parents health and ability to parent well, as long as they're able to have the baby and care for it properly, love it, I think age isn't important.

to have long hair~I think that depends on the individual's face shape, long hair does "elongate" a face and a face that has drooping going on doesn't look it's best with long hair. I know personally.

to wear a bikini~One's never too old as long as the body is in fantastic shape. I"ll never wear one I guess.

to go to night clubs~As long as you're of age

to wear a pony tail~hair usually thins with age, or illness so I think that's an individual thing. I've seen older women with them, and they look nice if they're not too high on the head.

to wear low ride jeans~depends on one's figure I think, if one needs depends then probably not..

to play paint ball~I was too old at 35!! too rough a game for me!

to play with Legos~never too old, chineese checkers are fun too played with marbles. Not the ones from my head though.

to be considered young?~to me that's a frame of mind and spirit! compared to trees, tortises, the earth, I'm still a baby

I don't think you're ever too old to do anything that you really want to.

Although, I can't imagine being a new mother at 50, because my baby will be just in her twenties when I turn 70. Even in my thirties I still need my mother badly. I think if you feel good about your looks you could and should wear anything you damned well please. Even if there is a bit of bulge under your arms, or around your waist. There is nothing I appreciate more than a heavier woman who wears the pretty sleeveless shirt. Nightclubs are for those who enjoy it, and who says you can't even when you're pushing the higher digits? However, there's a flip side. I hate seeing heavier people squeezing themselves into ill-fitting outfits, and dislike dirty old men who buy young ones drink at the bar only to try to score with them later on when they're good and hammered. I've seen weary looking 20 year olds, and worn-down people in their thirties. Yet, I've also seen some very vibrant, very active and satisfied older people do things that are typically only for the young.

I guess it really does depend on the situation...

hope all is well!

I don't think you can ever be too old to do any of those things (except have babies and then I'd say as long as you can do it "safely.").

I do think you should have no pinchable body fat if you wear clothes that reveal your body....or else its just gross no matter your age!

Having babies? I would say for a woman after her 30's is too old. I know that modern medicine means woman can have babies even past menopause but just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I don't think you are ever too old to have long hair. I think you just need to wear it in a flattering style or put it up. I think it looks bad when an older woman is trying to look like a teenager.

Wear a bikini - as long as you have a good body I don't think there is any limit.

To go to night clubs - I guess it depends on the club. Most do cater to a younger clientele. As long as you feel comfortable, I say go for it. But you don't want to be the getting looks like what's she doing here?

Low ride jeans - I would say it's based on the body but I think older woman even if they have a rockin' body look silly in low rider jeans so I will say after 35 maybe it's not a good idea. That doesn't mean you have to wear them up to your armpits. Just a nice happy medium.

I don't think you can ever be too old to play paintball. As long as you can physically get out there and do it why stop.

You can never be too old to play legos.

To be young - I guess it's relative. I mean until you are 100, you're always young to the people who are older than you. I mean there are 90 year olds who think 70 year olds are young. I do believe that you are as old as you feel. I feel younger now than I did when I was in my 20's.

Well, according to my 7 year old, 49 is the end of young and 50 is the beginning of old.

I turn 50 in a couple of weeks.

I have no idea where he got the idea that 50 was old.

Babies - menopause is called change of life for a reason - early 40's seems the tail-end of that endeavor.

Long hair - I agree with Locamama & Trudygolightly - depends on your hair & how you style it.
My gramma wore her hair in a braid & wrapped around her head - it went down to her knees!

Bikini & low ride jeans - if your belly bulges - it's time to stop at any age.

Night Clubs - depends on the crowd - let the youngins have their fun!

Ponytail - same as long hair.

Paint ball - don't know this one - never played.

Legos - never - I love them - play with my nephews every chance I get!

Considered young - we have a neighbor that is a 100 yrs. old - I'm not quite half way there - to her I'm a youngster.
