Somebody just asked me, "Does your blog turn words into sign language for deaf people?" (You can't make this up.)
AND, last week a guy was spouting off in dining room about how power chairs are Medicare scams, "...they just don't want to exercise."
Sigh, so much I could have said...these people are old, but I have know MANY "old" people and old does NOT equal STUPID.
Should I have chewed them out? Should I have responded calmly? I just ignored and kept eating, wasn't in the fighting mood. But...can't get it out of my mind.
