My grandmother is old as fuck.

[Sean of the Thread]

And I love her dearly. But she has lost it.

I thought my life sucked but she just add the punctuation mark.

I just received a letter from her and I expected a Christmas check... inside the envelope was a torn up piece of toilet paper.

Sean - I love you.

From grandma.

All on different pieces.


I lose so hard.

[CrystalTears]

:lol:

[Sean of the Thread]

Rofl I just called her. She's 94. I said thank you for the letter and she responded "oh you got the hearts I sent you" at which point I realized they were in fact toilet paper hearts.

Then she mumbled something about the baby just fell off the bed and hung up.

I think she's finally lost it. Still it made my day.. I was laughing so hard I actually feel better.

[NocturnalRob]

I expected a Christmas check...

that made me lol more than anything else

Why? My grandma still sends me a check for my birthday and for Christmas.

[NocturnalRob]

At least it wasn't used.

[diethx]

Just because your family hates you rob, doesn't mean ours hate us.

I'm 27.

[CrystalTears]

Is in the amount of $12.50?

Grandmothers give their grandkids money until they're dead. It's their payment to get into heaven.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well I just got a check yesterday from her so when I saw the letter in the box I fully expected it to be another check seeing how she forgets (thinking she sent one twice on accident).

That initial thought mad lol before I even opened up the toilet paper hearts.

[NocturnalRob]

cute. my relatives stopped giving me money once I graduated from college and was able to support myself.

edit: way to equate money with love. loser.

Hahahaah. She sends me like $100 for my birthday and $50 for Christmas.

edit: That's retarded, rob. They're gifts, not support.

She called this check "a lot of money".. while it was in fact the most she's ever sent me it was only $25.00. She has given me $5 every Christmas and birthday for my entire life.

[Jorddyn]

My grandma doesn't give us checks. She did give me a fake sapphire ring in September for my birthday (which is in June). Plus, I saw her last weekend and she gave me an early Christmas present - a lovely hardcover book entitled "Pet's Letters to God".

She did knit me a scarf for Xmas last year, though, which was sweet. Even though one end is almost exactly twice as wide as the other.

I love that woman. I think she does everything under the influence of gin.

[Keller]

how old are you people?

It's all about the Thank You card.

I get Christmas/B'day checks from all remaining grandparents, from two sets of aunts/uncles, and even from my grandparents-in-law.

No, she knows exactly when it is. She's just not overly prompt. So, I got my birthday present in September.

Edited to add: My mom's birthday is in January. Last year, Grandma was sooo excited about the present she'd found in a catalog for her, but she kept forgetting to order it. Finally, sometime around July, she ordered and got it, then delivered it to my mom.

It was a metal bucket. In the shape of a chicken. Ok, not really in the shape of a chicken so much as a metal bucket with a chicken head welded on to one side, and chicken wings on the side.

My mom called me that night crying from laughing so hard.

[Keller]

i was raised by two southern parents. thank you notes get written within 48 hours of receipt of a gift, leaving someone's house for a party, overnight stay, or function. stand when a woman leaves from/returns to the table. i open doors. yes, sir. no, sir. firm handshake. walk to the outside of your female companion. etc, etc.

i'm the politest motherfucker you'll ever meet. when i feel like it.

[CrystalTears]

These are gifts, you realize. No one can "support" themselves on $20.

I'd rather my grandparents give me money than gifts as it's usually something... you would uh... not want. Ever.

That is hilarious. Anyway, since sapphire is September's birthstone, I figured that's why she gave you the fake sapphire ring then. I just assumed it was cuz of the birthstone connection I guess, hehe.

Nope, it's because she was sure we'd been out shopping together for the sapphire ring I was dying for the previous Christmas.

It was actually emerald earrings, but you know, I can forgive a little crazy because I do adore her :)

My grandmother is a seamstress, and one year she gave me and my aunts and mother an oversized sweater with our name monogrammed on it.

I felt like I was a Mickey Mouse Club member.

I saw two of my dipshits on a Florida lottery commercial. Now those fuckers have never gave me anything except Calvin tossed me into the Snake river in Idaho and I learned to swim.

Yup! Now being the first grandchild I always got a bit favored by her but it was out of control when I lived with them for a few months after getting out of the Army. Not only did I live for free, get at least two meals a day cooked for me, and had a magical laundry basket but I was clearing at least 150 bucks a week on grandma handouts.

:love: my grandma

lol@ your grandmother, Sean. My gf's grandmother shocked the hell out of us when she sent her a check for $20.00 instead of her usual $5.00 for Christmas this year. I still think her mom wrote the check because her gram has been battling alzheimer's for the past year and a half and wrote her a check in the same amount every day for a week until my gf's mom took away her check book.

No I didn't mean for it to sound defensive so my bad. The last time she was behind the sewing machine was when she made my wedding dress over 10 years ago. She just doesn't have it in her to even hem pants, unfortunately.

My only remaining grandparent is too poor to give me money but she always gives me a thoughtful gift on Christmas. I am one of ~50 (no exaggeration) grandchildren though so it's not surprising she is poor.

It's not like 50 is that outrageous. Maybe she had 8 kids and they had 7 each. That's not ... er.. maybe...

Maybe she had 5 and they had 10 each. Um, maybe she had 2 and they had 25 each? No, that's still a lot.

I always send my grandmother a homemade card.

I don't really get anyone gifts accept for the chidrens. Then again nobody gets me gifts accept my children.. and grams.

[CrystalTears]

My grandmothers used to get mad at me if I got them a gift too soon after they gave me money because it was meant for me. So I'd have to wait a while, or until they forget they gave it to me, whichever came first.

[Jorddyn]

But don't you people get gifts for your Grandma or are you just taking the check? I get my Grandma a $25 gift b/c I know she is going to send me $25, so it equals out.

My dad's parents get a basket o' meat (they have no money) and a card for Xmas and a card for their birthdays and mother's/father's day from me. We stop over for coffee on Christmas morning, but that's the extent of the celebration. Until last year, I always got a birthday card. I don't know if I was bad, they forgot, or they just don't have the money. It doesn't matter a bit to me - I still get random letters with stickers on the back from my Grandma :)

I get each of my mom's parents a token gift for Christmas (slippers, etc) because we actually have a Christmas gathering, and I visit them for their birthdays. (Note: This is the crazy grandma)

Does it equal out? I dunno. I spend more on my dad's parents than they do on me, but it's reversed on the other side of the family, which is largely reflective of their financial situations. I wouldn't care if none of them ever bought me anything. But I still want the letters with the stickers.

[diethx]

My grandma gets mad when I buy her a gift, except last year at Christmas when I read her mind and got her the exact robe she wanted from Macy's. No joke. But yeah, I buy her presents also for Christmas. On her birthday she just gets a call and a card (if I remember the card). This year we're not doing Christmas presents tho.

I would go with being happy with the effort. This may or may not be related to last year when coincidentally I called my dad to wish him happy father's day, and my mother happened to do the same thing that day, only to realize later that day that father's day wasn't until the following week.

I had a whiskey great-grandmother. She drank whiskey and ate everything with lots of garlic on it. Made some kind of magical garlic "elixir" every day to drink. We all know it was whiskey. But she was awesome. She'd jump bank lines saying she was old and didn't have enough life left in her to wait. Whenever she was mad at my mother, she'd speak to me in Spanish (before I'd picked up enough to understand). My favorite habit of hers was that she swore a woman should never be without stockings. She'd even wear them to the beach (she lived in Florida) all the time. Just trotting around in the sand with no shoes.. but yes, stockings.

[CrystalTears]

Haha! My grandmother still wears stockings everyday to this very day, and she's in Florida too.

She also denies that she knows English. She plays ignorant when one of us talks to her in English mostly because she wants us to speak to her in Spanish. However when she's on the phone with one of her American friends, her English is nearly flawless with an accent.

You know how people always console those who've lost someone close to them by saying things such as, "Uncle Jimmy is in a better place now."

Look,

I'm not against making fun of douchebags.

Oh no I wasn't saying you were Mormon, just saying it sounds like Mormons. That couple with the 18 kids (the vagina clown car couple) are Mormons and I knew a couple of people in school who had giant families like that - they were Mormon too. I know some Catholics are against birth control but i've never known a Catholic family that large.


whereas he might be the self important d-bag it's not like he's actively antagonizing people.

I disagree, since I believe he knows that his being a self important d-bag does actively antagonize people, and I think he does it on purpose. I'm pretty sure he knows he'd catch a lot less shit if he didn't try so hard, so honestly I can't think of any reason as to why he wouldn't chill out, unless he were doing it on purpose. Just my opinion.

Oh no I wasn't saying you were Moron...Quoting before the edit. :D
... just saying it sounds like Mormons. That couple with the 18 kids (the vagina clown car couple) are Mormons and I knew a couple of people in school who had giant families like that - they were Mormon too. I know some Catholics are against birth control but i've never known a Catholic family that large.
Actually there's a sect of crazy motherfucking Catholics who, because they don't use birth control, don't seem to use the rhythm method either that the church LOVES to lecture to use as an alternative, just seem to fuck like bunnies and just end up having mass amount of kids.

A friend of our family is a prime example. I don't think he was married for more than five years and he already had about four kids and she was pregnant when I saw her last, so, there ya go.

Would it be considered sinful for the guy to purposefully zero out his sperm count? sitting in hot water and what not.

LOL, oops, typooo.

And damn, that's nuts. I hope he makes a LOT of money.

My ex-in-laws were catholic. They were trying for thirteen kids, since that was one more than my mother-in-laws mother had had, but she had to have a hysterectomy after the ninth due to complications. I'm wicked glad they didn't have thirteen as the nine they do have are all screwed up. They didn't have enough time or money to take care of the kids very well and the kids really suffered as a result. For example, they didn't have enough money to take all the kids to the dentist, so they took the girls but none of the boys had ever even once gone to the dentist until they were adults. Now that they're all grown up, 7 of the nine are addicts. It's sad.

It's called the Quiverfull movement, which is what that woman with 18 kids and counting is a part of. They're not Mormon but definitely extreme and rather fundamentalist. The idea is that God really wants you to be fruitful and multiply.

The reasoning is usually pretty fucked up too-- shit about the rapture coming and wiping out the sinful (i.e. most of the human race) so you need to reproduce like rabbits and turn out families that will be saved and will carry on the human race after the wicked are purged, and stuff of that nature.

With Fundamentalist Mormons (FLDS) though, a lot of the rapture stuff is usually a convenient cover for the contesting among the wives of any given man. I've read a lot of biographies from women who have escaped their lives in the FLDS and basically, the husband is the Priesthood Head and the wives only ticket into Heaven. He also holds all of the power in the family, and doles out power to whatever wives have the most favor with him, so they compete to have sex with the man as well as get pregnant by him, since the pregnancy/number of children sired is a demonstration to the community that they are favored by their husband. It's actually really sick and heartbreaking to read the kind of manipulative, nasty things these women do to each other just to have a modicum of protection in their society (as well as to the men, who are basically pawns to be manipulated by their wives). There's a whole pecking order among the women based on who's actually having sex and who actually has a lot of children, and who doesn't.

ANYWAY. /offtopic.

No I think he was just a hot guy with a hot wife who didn't believe in birth control but still wanted to screw like rabbits and willing to deal with the repercussions. :D

Oh I wasn't referring to your friend, just some of the reasoning behind the ultra, ultra-religious who reproduce zillions of times.

I kid I kid!

My grandparents are Catholic but definitely were not part of what you described, for the record.

I'm not saying it's one religion (i.e. that if you're Catholic or Mormon you're like this). There's certain movements and sects/cults (I consider the FLDS a cult) that are like this. I'm not saying that by any means it's a majority or even really an accurate representation of a given religion, or that any cross-similarities mean they're one and the same. There are plenty of Catholic people who have huge families and not because they're trying to populate the earth pre-Rapture, heh! The family with 18 kids (the Duggers I believe) have come out and said they're a part of the Quiverfull movement, which is what I was explaining.

[Back]

You know how people always console those who've lost someone close to them by saying things such as, "Uncle Jimmy is in a better place now."

I always wondered why they said that. But, now, I think I know. And it's made me curious -- will that phrase pass out of style once you're dead, and the earth is no longer such a horrible place to be?

???

I’ve been fortunate and have lead a very enjoyable life for the most part.

The point of posting my story was to illustrate to SotT that life happens to all of us and how he perceives/presents his is up to him.

On topic:

I’ll get to see my remaining grandmother this Christmas. Shes the one who instilled in me at a very young age a deep appreciation for the arts. Museum trips every weekend in NYC at age 10.

The one who passed taught me the value of literature as she was a head librarian.

No shit, really?! Thank God you were here to explain that. Whew.

It would only be worth it if you could have a hot wife orgy. I'm guessing the mormons probably don't go for wife on wife action though :(
