btw I am already in the old lady category myself (grey hair, well underneath the brown) but definitely not sweet

I'm planning to be an old lady myself one day, don't really want to have to be 'sweet' or an 'old witch'.
But I don't think it was badly meant, just thoughtless. Not many positive images of older women out there, are there?

well it is, you are right but I can't really force myself to care. sorry.
