What Stan said: don't let the elders in!
I faded and then moved, but the new elders were soon on my doorstep asking to come in to talk to me.
Mind you, I did not know these people personally, they were strangers. And they had their hand on the door already trying to step in.
I looked at them with the biggest smile and said, "No, thanks!" cheerfully.
They were so CONFUSED! I wasn't following the programming.
I then shut the door and waved through the window at them.
And I never heard from anyone ever again.
