And she'd always try to be so discreet. So badly. lol. RIP, love you.

Grandma, when have we ever shook hands? It was like a bad drug handoff.
Or just trying to shove money in my pocket.
Bless her heart. She was a good lady.

Lol that’s really sweet :unsmith:

Screaming out the N word every time a black person is on the tv.

Not letting my mother have any Protestant friends (not Belfast during the Troubles, 1970s Lowell, MA)

hosed up by Korean War, pulls strings with buddies on draft board to keep sons out of Vietnam

Loses legs to diabetes because he won’t give up beers and fried clams

telling my parents they'll never babysit
making my family stay home on christmas because I was sick a week ago
telling a cousin that I shouldn't be living with my gf before marriage
neglecting all like 11 grandkids to give all attention to the firstborn boy

my grandparents sucked poo poo and I'm glad they're dead

Be waited on hand and foot by your mother and then your wife and live 85 years without ever learning to look after yourself. When your wife is in hospital, pester your daughter every day with questions like "how often should I change underwear"

where's our home grown grandpas? I know we have to have more than a few.

I want facts from the source.

Tbh that's what I was expecting when I clicked this thread, because my grandpa has been dead since before I was born so I can't properly contribute

:agreed: I remember going over to my grandma's place hoping that she'd give me a $20 this time, because she gave me anywhere between $1 and $20 but it was impossible to know in advance

working outside all day and coming in reeking of underarm sweat and thereby creating pleasant connotations of that smell for the rest of my life (that was the other granddad)

When I went off to college & went to my first few parties, I remember thinking "why does it smell like my great-grandfather in here? :raise: " and it definitely took me longer than it should have to put together that I literally never saw him without a beer whenever I visited him & my great-grandmother

Your grandmother understood gambling psychology and wanted to foster an addiction to visiting grandma :3:

Having pets and a super cool son who had a shitload of video games and letting me drink soda & WHOLE milk (my mom only ever had skim) wasn't enough bribery for her liking

Grandpa loved to drink, so for one of his birthdays Dad got him this giant oversized bottle of Seagrams 7, his goto drink.

He finished it in short order, but I'll always remember him cursing while trying to pour this giant bottle without spilling.

My family kept the empty bottle for a long time to keep change in. I wonder where it is now....
