I'm curious - of what did this woman manage to speak of for 90 mins?

The female's capacity to yabber is a source of amazement to me.

If she continues to chat to you she is either rude herself (in which case I would literally show her the 'talk to the hand'), ........

......or maybe she's a hooker after a pickup!

I wouldn't venture to advise you on your next move in this situation

She's mid 50s with 8 grandsons...said i reminded her of her eldest...
