Given the approximate median age of members here, should there be an "Aging" category here?

A lot more relevant than pregnancy, right?

*I'm just surmising on the approximate median age. I have no facts or data about anyone here.

     If I consider answering this, could I be pregnant?

    Yeah, I've never really paid that much attention to all the categories before. I literally just got what was up with all the stupid 'could I be pregnant' questions. 

    Wow. 

    Yeah, you're pregnant. For sure now that you answered this question.

      I hope you plan to take care of your responsibilities. (Cough, cough.)

    Are you insinuating that we're all a bunch of geezers and geezerettes?  (darn whippersnapper!  Just wait until I find my teeth, then I'll ...zzzzzzzzz.)

    Well, we're none of us getting any younger, Shuhak! 

    I was including myself!

    I was being humorous.  Remember, age is just a number they stick on a cake to try to make you feel self-conscious.  They used to use candles, until the fire marshal got after them (if it can be seen from space it's a fire hazard).

    Yeah, and if you blow out the candles, nobody can eat the cake anymore.

    Who would want to eat charcoal?  "Happy birthday to you; happy birthday to you; happy bir..." FOOM! (*sound of smoke alarms going off all over the neighborhood*)

    They make you drink a charcoal mixture in the ER to remove poisons or OD drugs.

    I knew that. :)

    I'm grateful for every day and believe we should embrace life a little more with every year. And I have great affinity for older people!

    There is a method to our madness. :)

    I only pay attention to the category when I post a question (rare, I know) because I have to.  Other than that, I don't look at it on anyone else's questions.  I can pretty much figure out the topic by the question - yes, it is a gift.

    Not sure what you would want to see in that category.  Did you want to know what aches when I get up in the morning?  Are you asking whether my sciatica has abated?  How about medication us old folks might be taking.

    I am the same way.

    I'm not even sure why there needs to be any categories.

      It’s certainly not an entirely necessary thing. Meh, what can we do? Lol.

    If you want to cruise a certain topic, it is easy.

    I don't think I've ever done that either on this site or the other two I was on.  I just take the questions as they are posted.

      When you really get down to it, that’s how simple it should be. Do you think it would be effective if we collectively petitioned management?

    Too remove categories?  Nope, that would be a waste your time.

    Management would reject that out of hand.

    Hehehe. I only pay attention then, also. Quite a gift. (LOVE the sarcasm!!)

    Frankly, I'd be more interested in that than anything pregnancy related at this point in my life. 

    LOVE all of this answer!!!

    No.  It doesn't matter what age, race, education level, IQ, religion, state of residence, or anything else....no categories or cubbie holes for members.
