'old woman' conjures up the image i was shooting for, nails it really.
you do understand  i was referring to myself in this post, as an old woman.
this is called self deprecating humour and being the butt of my own misogynistic/ageist jokes is a cross i am happy to bear 
however, i am not without compassion for the elderly, or women. it must be hard.
you know what i mean, weaker etc. i do feel some pity, im not heartless.
Hemlock's nice...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
