Dear LLT:

Why are really old ladies verbally accousting me in parking lots, grocery store isles, and ballet studios?

It's getting annoying and they won't shut up?

First off..
i will consider the first sentence a question
and the second statement as PROOF you are a pod person
(they make grammatical errors while asking questions online)

Why do these old ladies treat you as such..
The answer is easy
It's not you
(unless you have an appearance strange to them or appear threatening)
it's them..
First off... they're old
and approaching OLD AGE myself
i can attest
that it's NO FUN
aches pains strange changes to your body/mind/memoryare filtered thru
a soul that has been dinged and battered by this physical world we occupy...
So the most likely reason
is that they are falling apart
on the final mile
and it's frustrating...
the mind desires skill/strength/quickness of thought
but the body relents
shuffling towards the judgement...

If YOU felt that way
wouldn't you be crabby?

the trick is to reach a hand out
smile
say "Good Afternoon"
Ask them a question about themselves
(wear sunglasses so you can stare at other stuff while the old hag drones on)
Thank them
and leave...
It gets easier after a couple of times

By this, you helped brighten somebody's day
with little effort....

"It's getting annoying and they won't shut up!"
makes YOU sound like an old lady...
Remember, the world revolves around none of us...
groovy!

What kind of question is that?!?!?!?
right now....yes!

That is all until my return from Seattle...
In case the plane is shot out of the sky
by Homeland Security
I'd like to thank you all for the smiles and oft-time amusing and rarely insightful questions!
THANK YOU!

Woofmutt will take over in the event of my plane making an "early stop"
