[Mark22071]

So far, I am the most qualified to respond to this board -but I wont get into that. Not all elderly are the way you have all portrayed. Some are decent, stay nice, polite and wear their crown of wisdom quite well. Some (especially in nursing homes) may have a type of Dementia or Short Term Memory Loss (STML). This causes fear and confusion. Others (like the one at the grocery store) may be feeling the ‘pains of age’ which are difficult. Also we must remember that as we get older, we start to feel disassociated from the world. This may make them feel fearful and distrustful. To the elderly the world is getting scarier (in reality their correct): more crime, kids carrying guns to school, lack of respect, etc.. These feeling coupled with a mild case of Memory loss is a sure recipe for a bad day.
