What I've noticed about older women is that they tend to worry, fret, and go on and on about trivial things that simply don't matter and are a complete waste of everybody else's time. As soon as one of those trivial things is taken care of, they find another one, and the whole process starts over again.

I don't find it's a problem with younger women, by the way...just those past a certain age (which varies a bit, depending on the individual). As their search for romance and partnership dwindles with the onset of middle age, their penchant for finding highly unlikely things to worry about increases by leaps and bounds. Perhaps there is a connection there? ;-) Romance, after all, involves risk...whereas the kind of arbitrary and chronic worrying I am talking about is an attempt to avoid ALL possible risk, not only for oneself but for everyone whom one knows and is connected with.

Then too, they expect terrible things to happen unless a multitude of elaborate precautions are engaged in whenever one goes out of the door (or even the room!) for any reason whatsoever. If one is travelling by car or airplane (!), the number of elaborate precautions required to soothe the concerned older woman goes up exponentially.

They expect you to do their worrying for them and to govern your own life according to the dictates of their fevered and paranoid imagination. It's bloody annoying! When they finally shuffle off this mortal coil they will have wasted so much time worrying about disasters that might have happened but never did that if the mental energy they spent had been collected for a more useful purpose, such as generating electricity, we could probably have solved world hunger, ended war, and created a global paradise for all by now!!!!!

It is these very women who stand in the way of peace, serenity, and progress in this world. They are the grit in life's vaseline, the stone hiding in the bowl of rice, the monkey wrench jammed in the machine of existence, and they MUST BE STOPPED!!! ;-)
