sorry to hear that, Sluggo. I know how that is. I lost mine in July of 2009. I'll say a prayer.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Likes Lens FlairsBoth my grandmothers are in their 80's and doing pretty well. But I lost one grandfather to a heart attack back in 1993 and the other to Alzheimer's about five years later.
Best wishes, Sluggo.

That's sad, Sluggo. It's bad enough when one knows a loved one is going to pass away soon, let alone knowing how soon. It's a stress on the family...
Take care Sluggo.

No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Magister Pontifex MaximusI'm sure you have lots of happy memories Sluggo.
The only and best consolation you can have.

Imagination PrincessI'm very sorry, Sluggo. Mine died about four years ago, and while it was good because he had been deteriorating terribly for years, it didn't stop it from being extremely painful. So you have my empathy.

Disco Stu likes Disco music!My sympathies, Sluggo. At least you can say you knew him, right? I was 7 when my oldest grampa (he would've been 98 this year) passed away and I don't remember him at all. Only a passing memory of sitting on his knees. I have a lot of stuff he has written over the years, though, mostly poetry.
My other grampa was a man of few words, quiet. He lived to be 90, and always left me wondering, things like: "Who knows how many people he's seen in his life!..." He did share a few stories about the war with us, though.

Imagination PrincessOh, wow, Leo. My grandpa would have been 97 this year, and his wife (my grandmother, obviously) would be 98 if she were alive.

I know how that is, my oldest grandfather passed when I was 4. All I have is pictures of him holding me and stories from my father and grandmother. My other grandfather, died in July of '09. Like Leonardo's, you could say he was a man of few words. My Grandmother on my mother's side passed in Oct 2000. My Grandmother on my father's side passed away in Feb 2001, exactly on her birthday.

Magister Pontifex MaximusSorry to post the comparatively trivial but I am mightily miffed that Caprica has been canceled.
True I can't see the last half until next year anyway but I was really getting into the show and then it disappeared for an age an now it's gone because of the stupid outmoded way American television networks calculate profit potential.
The other prequel show doesn't appeal to me in the same way and I don't won't to get burned by yet another aborted arc based television drama so sorry America but your present and future television is now official banished from Chateau Bingowings.
Never again.
Never.

I am ready for the trials!I'm pissed off because I make $11/hour and will not be able to move out of my parents house until I'm 30. All the good apartments are too expensive and the cheap ones are in states I would never want to live in.
Sounding like a broken record since May 2006.

Which states? Why wouldn't you want to live there?
I used to swear I would never ever live in Texas for any amount of money. Then my future wife took a job in Corpus Christi and I had no choice. Turned out not nearly as awful as I thought (though the weather did suck).

Sour BoyI'm unemployed, live with my parents, and the film & music industries both suck incredible ass. >:-(

My Heather Langenkamp avatar has decided to go on an extended vacation and may not be back for sometime. Not to worry, though, for she will be back - eventually.
