DON"T ASK AN OLD PERSON HOW THEY ARE DOING!

       Sometimes we go up to people and ask how they are doing! Generally, we really don't care, or at least all the little details of a recent ailment or injury. Most often it is just included inour greeting and we are just being polite. 

       Now if you run into another elderly friend in the grocery store be prepared to begin running behind schedule. If it is mid morning you could miss your lunch!

       When working at Allied Mutual years ago, the President of the Life Insurance Division and who was a very high energy type of person, would simply reply with a "How you doing," by replying "FANTASTIC!" I always that was sometimes a little over the top, but, on the other hand nobody probably would have cared hearing about his time off with the flu!
