Just had to make one final comment.

When I was in my early 20's, I was an executive secretary. I had to train a woman who was in her 50's. I thought she was ancient, now how stupid was I??

Maybe it has to do with my age?? I don't know. I also NEVER got along with my mother. So maybe that played a part.

I was impatient, rude, and I also, (along with the others), made fun of her.

I could kick myself but that would have no bearing on my behavior way back then.

All I can tell you is that, as I matured, and as I watched MY FATHER deal with people, I myself learned how to treat others.

My mother was rude, overbearing (for example, when she was selling her house in Florida, a couple in their 70's came to look at it, and my mother turned to the lady and said: "why on earth do you want to buy this house, you are old??" I kid you not, she said this.

So this is the person who raised me.

Thankfully, THIS IS NOT HOW I RAISED MY SON, I can assure you of that.

So I was just remembering how thoughtless I was at times, when I was 21 or so.

Thankfully, I grew into my skin, I grew into my brains, and I stopped doing that kind of behavior.

I only wish that someone would have pulled me aside when I was 20 and put me in my place. I woudn't have wasted so much time being rude and thoughtless.

No one called me on it. We were all young at the time.

Sorry to go off topic, but I just had to say this.
