I have a different "Was that necessary?" I happen to be 90 years old and fairly healthy. I absolutely hate it when people look at me and say "You don't look 90 years old." I used to just laugh, but now I look them in the eye and ask "What do you think 90 should look like?" The look on their faces is absolutely priceless. And, of course, the usual "Are you still driving?" If I am not in a wheelchair, do not have dementia and standing there talking to them like a normal person, why shouldn't I be driving? In fact I probably drive better than they do. Thanks for letting me vent.

I am almost 84 and my doctors tell me they hope they look as good as I do and are as alert as I am when they are my age.
One of them said I should stop lying about my age and I replied that I needed the Medicare insurance.
Doctors of course see sick people.... for the rest of the population, I would remind them age is a number, my body has aged, but I have always used and continue to use my brain .....fortunately I learned other languages and research shows that people who become fluent in another language before the age of 30, have a delay in the onset of dementia by five years. The brain has more "connections" available.

Love it! Good for you! Manners are out the door. The younger adults just saying anything they think. This country has lost its empathy and common sense. I would have loved to see you at the time this happened!! I am outspoken and do not take disrespect..unless it is just ignorant and I give them the look..LOL
