Your hair is gray. Don't you think you should color it?
You used to be so thin. What happened to you?
Don't you take care of yourself? You could really use a facial.
You don't get enough exercise. Why do you spend so much time at that desk?
You don't buy Perrier? That water tastes like the sea!
You don't really eat that, do you? No wonder you look like you do!
I had company today. It was lovely. The above is a sample of how the day went. Would you like to hear my answers?
Your hair is gray. Don't you think you should color it?
If I wanted to color it, and had $100 to spend on my hair every 6 weeks I just might give it a go.
You used to be so thin. What happened to you?
Life happened to me. I have five children, a husband who has had significant health issues in the past two years, as well as two grandchildren and a best friend with MS. I take care of a lot of other people. Guess who gets taken care of last???
Don't you take care of yourself? You could really use a facial.
As I mentioned above, life happened. And I don't happen to have $75 or even the time it would take to spend on weekly facials!
You don't get enough exercise. Why do you spend so much time at that desk?
Again, it's that money and time thing, you know? I can't afford a personal trainer like you have, and I sit at the desk because that's how I earn my money. Women with gray hair who have gained weight and need facials don't do all too well on street corners, now do they?
You don't buy Perrier? That water tastes like the sea!
Then perhaps you should go suck the sea!
You don't really eat that, do you? No wonder you look like you do!
Yes, I eat it. I eat it ALL, and you know what else? I don't share. Especially with YOU! So go work out with your personal trainer and suck down your expensive bottled water while your hairdresser covers your gray hair and your aesthetician sucks the yuck from the pores in your skin. And while you're at it, go on out to the street corner and make a few bucks....you'll do quite well, too, because all of the decent old, fat gray haired women are inside working at their desks.
Hmmmm. Family. You gotta love 'em!

Anyway I love the hair, please do not color the personality.

Great answers, though. I've recently been hit with, "you can afford a vacation so I'm sure you can give me XX$$, right?"
No. I went on vacation because I'm old and I earned it. When you're old, you can do it, too. I'm not giving you money to get your nails done.
I have been known to retort with "are you ALWAYS this RUDE, or is today a special day???"
Now I don't know how thin you use to be but I have seen the photos you have posted of yourself recently and I think you look pretty normal to me. Don't we all gain a little weight with age anyways even if we are not takeing care of sick family and friends?
By the way I love Doc's comment above.
I often hear loved ones speaking in a self denigrating way about themselves but that's about as far as it ever goes.
Now, talking behind one's back is another story.
I just laugh...sometimes that is not easy
I am glad that you are enjoying life
