Imagine finding out grandads proclivities and sexuality like that... kin ell.
I am so glad my lad knows my sexuality isn't exactly hetro-normative. There may be surprises when he cleans out my place, but not of the "oh my god he liked men as well" variety, lol.
Or maybe it was grannies, lol.

I think there are a lot of shitty DJs who have no style, but I also fear we sound like grandads playing cards and bitching about the youth.

Being of similar age to you (maybe a little younger), but more modern style family ages - which means both grandads too old for First World War, Dad in WW2 as guest of Japanese emperor. Grandads died before I was born. Means family relationships differ from those who had kids younger.

It also makes me think of how we refer to elderly people as ‘grannies’ or ‘grandads’ whether or not they actually are which is insensitive at the very least! We definitely strip older people of their full personhood.

Today I got a nice little #surprise 🤣
So for the last 5 years I have been my late grandads carer, that meant basically I was unable to go on holiday, go out for days out with anyone, go to a pub, cinema etc etc.
Now I will never complain about that, it was my privilege and honour to care for him.

I was trying to explain to Luke what Valentine's Day was about today (& that he used to make me beautiful things in school which he never does now 😅).
I just gave up in the end, told him that I love him every day & that it used to be Grandads birthday 😁
Probably an ND thing.

But the retirement age in the US is 67

I mean, we all love our Grandads, but we wouldn't leave them in charge of a country

Make that "your kids". My grandads both fought in the war, and it's my dad's generation who constitute the largest voter base for Farage, Fash & Co

I'll never know why my brain stores certain information. For example: I have never smoked. My parents have never smoked. One of my grandads did, but stopped 20 years before I was born.
Why was the cigarette category on Connections so easy for me then?

"Can't offer you more than my appreciations and maybe an open bar when the work is done. But it'd be for the best if I took the sonuvabitch down myself, anyways. Do well by my grandads name and all."
"Now try nurturing a drinking problem and paying rent right in the middle of the city. S'why I'll need a price before I can commit to the hunt."
"Fair 'enough, and I hear that. Been having to rent an apartment way outside the city for a good enough deal for the long haul, and even then it's basically a broom closet with a sink and a bed. Not that I intend to stay here long after my work is done, anyways."

When I see a skunk:
"I DRANK THE SKUNK-OIL TO CURE ME OF THE SCARLET FEVER IN '19 (1919)!"
One of my great-grandads many yarns, turned up to 11 so he could hear himself, of course.

yes!!!! If you can only convince someone in a vacuum of info, then your argument sux. My parents weren’t perfect, but 1 of my grandads was a missionary doctor, the other a religious school teacher, & when i asked my parents (at age 7!) if god was real, their response was “what do YOU think & why?” ❤️

Glad I have no idea who this fool is but he looks and sounds like your grandads brother who turns up to your secret houseparty when your parents are away for the weekend thinking he's down with the kids. How old is this clown?
