I Think Age Is Only A Number

I work from home. Sometimes I get cabin fever and have to get out. I run over to Wendy's with a good book and eat a hamburger.

2 weeks ago, I witnessed 3 drug deals right next to me. I mean in the next space. I was so engrossed in what i was doing and didn't pay much attention except I wanted to be aware of my surroundings and not get caught off guard.

I looked to the right and the third drug deal was 2 cars of young guys. Suddenly the one car yelled out....Hey that OLD lady is watching you.

I yelled out, " Who are you calling old lady?" Just self defense. I guess anyone over 30 looks old to them. It shut them right up.

I called the sheriff's office and told them that seemed to be the drug corner. The dispatcher honestly asked me why I did not get their tag numbers...WHAT??? get shot or run over??? stupid question.

aww i agree you arent old! I think that as you say anyone young thinks anyone over 30 is old.. i remember when my mum turned 34 i thought omg that's sooooooooo old.. i couldnt ever imagine being that old.. lol now i know it's young.

It's good you are aware of your surroundings...keep safe..

Maybe they hoped you could see the tags without putting yourself in danger. But I think it was enough to be reporting activity and location. Let them send in a couple of their people to get the evidence.

It's not really an insult to be called old. Especially since many of those drug addicts will never achieve that status.

GreenMountainGal. You are so right. It always makes me giggle when someone calls me old, as if it's supposed to hurt my feelings. The young never seem to realize that I worked a lot of years to get this old. That if they are very lucky, they too may achieve old age and a happy healthy life.

Many of those who think I'm insulted at being called old, are already unhappy and not really healthy. So they will never know that being old is an accomplishment, not an embarrassment.

Sometimes I take being called old as a term of honor. That sounds like one of those times.

Yes, exactly, you didn't get to be this old lady by going close to drug dealers...although you could have told that kid that you will give him the good spanking that he deserves!

Sad state our society is in. One reason why we have to defend ourselves and those we love. The only drug I really need and not sure if it would be considered on is I am always short of $ !
