Surprise, denial, depression, stress, and acceptance.  :-)

I'm not 82, but I hate things I don't understand how to open.  But I
only want to *understand* how to open those things.  I don't always want
to actually open them!

: For two weeks I got the "hands on hips PROVE IT" garbage from the friend 
: who is a professional person and should know better
: ..Finally he admitted to  Dad I was right.......but never apologized to 
: me for calling me a trouble maker! LOL

Those kinds of folks are like that.  Some call them old-fashioned.
I call them pig-headed.  :-)
