Ladies, you are both too old for this.
Women Fight Over 72-Year-Old Man
(visit site for vid, since I can't figure out how to embed it right this minute)
(March 23) - A 72-year-old man is at the center of a battle between two women who both say they were dating him in Dayton, Ohio.
Edith Mitchell, 78, told WHIO she was sitting in car with her beau of two years on Wednesday when a 73-year-old woman who claimed to be dating the same man came up to the car.
"She came up and grabbed me out and said 'that's my man,'" Mitchell alleged. "She said, 'Hey [expletive], you with my man, get out of that car.'"
According to WHIO, Dayton police reports say the woman started striking Mitchell in the face with her fists. Mitchell said she went into her home and got her gun, but that the other woman took it from her and pulled the trigger, misfiring.
In the police reports, the other woman claims it was Mitchell who did the misfiring.
"I'm too old for this, that's all I can say," Mitchell told WHIO.

On an unrelated note...
Mom has let me know that one of her friends is sending a suitor out to meet me, in hopes we'll hit it off. As she mentioned this, she also pointed out the one bright spot: mom is now staying in her own house. This means that the suitor, whenever he comes out, will be staying with her. Last year, around this time, when the last would-be swain came to call, mom was staying with me. So the fella ended up sleeping on my couch. This was mildly inconvenient. Well, convenient in some ways, since he did tend to get on my mom's case for being so controlling. And he did distract her a bit from my activities. But he also presented an inescapable barrage of questions, suggestions, and other -ions.
It gets so tiring trying to justify everything, both when you know the answer will be judged poorly (as with my mom), and when you know someone's just building up a dossier of information on you (as with the would-be swain). With him, I got to be very "Can't we just have a conversation? Must you be so much trying to know everything?"
Anyway, she says she had no hand in this (learned her lesson after the last guy), doesn't know when he's coming out, how long he's staying, or anything else. The only thing mom knows, she says, is that her friend describes the fellow as "innocent."
Mom believes in the concept of an innocent man about as much as she believes in unicorns. I disagree with her in principle, but hope she's right in this case. I can't imagine what a shock I would be to the system of an innocent man.
