I just had to add another 2 cents worth. Did anyone realize that a fabric shop is one place where a woman alone can go without feeling out of place? If she is elderly, spouse has passed, friends are also gone or moved or in nursing homes. Is this a "safe" place for her to roam around, talk to someone, perhaps she did not have conversation training. I am not trying to put anyone down for their beliefs or remarks. I am trying to remind all that we could be in that situation, my husband passed 9 years ago, my children live out of state, I am 73 and can't drive at night or a lot because of gas prices, do I really need to go on? Can we simply wear someone elses shoes for a while. Can we take a try at common sense. Please take a breath and love thy neighbor as thy self or do you love yourself?

I admit to not reading too much of this thread, but your post was kind of what I was thinking. I have no outward signs I had a brain injury, and though it doesn't seem to make me say what I'm thinkng, I've read that it sometimes does.
You handles it well, she really didn't hurt anything, imo, no big deal. You might be the lady she talks about when she gets home, the NICE lady
