Not flattering, Galen!

But at least he caught up with her and gave her a piece of his mind.

Oh Galen - that's awful. I hope you are OK. I hate insensitive way people refer us us slightly older people. I am 9 years older than my sister and people tell me I don't look my age. Last Christmas I was sitting in a pub with my sister and someone said to her 'oh this must be your mother'. Ruined my Christmas ! Sorry but she got a mouthful, which is most unlike me.

Thank goodness you seem to be unhurt Galen, hope there will be no aches and pains in the morning. What a stupid thing for the woman to do! You never sound elderly in spirit, I am not sure at what age one becomes old, but I always think it applies to others, not me.

Oh Galen that did make me smile. I do hope that you weren't too shaken by the experience - even a minor traffic accident can result in delayed shock.

That would really hurt, Galen!!!

Because this morning on my way into work I was involved in a car incident, when a young woman sped out of a side road without looking and my taxi had to take avoiding action. We ended up in the hedge and she blithely carried on her uncaring way!
We caught up with her in the golf car park where my driver remonstrated with her, stating that he had an ELDERLY passenger who had been shaken by her carelessness!
ELDERLY! It put me in a bad mood all day!
