I've been hearing that alot lately. I have seen several people in the past couple weeks who I haven't seen in years. And the response is always the same. "Oh my gosh, I didn't even recognize you!"
How do I respond to that??? "Thank you" comes to mind, but seems a bit presumptious. I usually just give a little laugh and stand there feeling stupid. I USED to say "I don't recognize myself half the time either!", but that really isn't true anymore, as I've gotten used to the "new" me.
Today at the grocery store I saw an old friend from the church I used to go to. She walked right past me! I said "Hello D---", and she just looked at me. After a few seconds, the lightbulb went on in her head. She made the usual comment, and I just stood there like an idiot.
I really don't know how to handle this, and I know it's not going to go away. Somehow, I have to figure out a better way.

Hey Wen, when they say they didn't recognize you, maybe you can offer to take them to the eye doctor? LOL...
