"It always used to be a coy way to refer to women old enough to be peri-menopausal. 'a woman of a certain age' was spoken of in hushed tones 
You’re still “spritely” though 
so it would seem. "
I'm also waaay past being of a 'certain' age and now qualify as 'aged' |

That really isn’t true. I think the days of seeing people as “of a certain age” are well and truly past. They very much are for me  |

I feel the same way. I meant to put an emoji and forgot... it's my age .
It is hard to escape from reference to age though and while I'm genuinely happy to be alive and the age I am I really wish there wasn't quite so much emphasis on it in a negative way.

I totally agree. Ageism is very much alive and well unfortunately. But we can battle against it  |
