Hark! He of fair eyes...
...let us join in an adventure!

Yep, I just submitted my .hack// pic! Nope, it's not BlackRose on the cover of Medieval Monthly but I hope you like it!

And now... dealing with the elderly. I ran over my sprinkler on the corner of our driveway so I had to dig up the supply line, cut it off, and attach a new elbow and sprinkler. Merrily I pulled my trusty box cutter from my pocket and sawed off the plastic hose that housed the broken elbow. Nary a second had passed when I heard from yonder house: "YOU CAN USE MY WEED EATER IF YOU WANT!" Huh? I thought. It was our across-the-street neighbor. She's 500 years old and hard of hearing.

I knew my yard was a tad unruly but I didn't think it warranted yelling across the street that I should be using a weed eater. "I already have one." I yelled back.
"YOU CAN USE IT IF YOU WANT!" she replied.
"I ALREADY HAVE ONE!" "I JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO CUTTING THE GRASS THIS WEEK!"
To which she replied: "I DON'T NEED IT BACK RIGHT AWAY!"
Ugh. This went on for a few more rounds until I figured out what she was trying to really say: She thought I was using the box cutter to trim the lawn!!!!!!

This isn't the first time I've had run-ins with her over silly things. Perhaps I'll tell you more stories later.

So, barring freak accidents, we're all going to be there someday (old, I mean). How will you behave at that stage in your life and how do you deal with the elderly now?
