**- ive never actually seen the simpsons...then or now

You have an opinion on something you know nothing about? Holy shtein!

[hbionic]

There's a millionth for everything?

[Diomedes]

I hope not.

Unlike you, I have no interest in sucking a million dicks.

[hbionic]

Alright, I've had enough of you.

Lately, you've been bitter, bitchy, pissy, unfunny, looking for a fight. You need a piece of ass, yesterday! Lucky for you, I made a map of the log cabin in the woods. I'll pm it to you and go get yourself some.

Otherwise, please take an ounce of effort and use it to try to be funny. You make Havas look like Richard Pryor.

[Diomedes]

You're only saying that because he's black.

[hbionic]

I couldn't think of a white comedian.

I couldn't think of a white comedian.

This guy would like to have seven words with you.

Lost my last living grandparent today. She was an Army nurse in WW2, and had been all over the place thanks to the Army. From an emotional standpoint I am okay (you all care), but it sucks thinking about not having that connection to the past anymore. You never fully appreciate some of the things seniors have seen/been through until it's too late sometimes. I've always been a fan of American history and really enjoyed when she would talk about the war, as rare as that was. It was her time though, she was getting bad Dementia to the point where she wasn't recognizing her own children, and that was really hard on her and all of them.

Sorry about your loss Munson.

I agree about our older generation and their experiences.

I'm selling a house and the owner is bed ridden, 90 years old, and arthritic, but she said when she was younger, she went out to an airbase in Michigan to marry her 1st husband, and as they were saying their 'I do's', the soldiers in the crowd announced Pearl Harbor had been bombed. Her husband was shot down in the mediterranean.

Hope you got to enjoy your grandma while she was here.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Munson.  The one thing I can say is that at least a piece of your grandparents do live on when you have children.  My son has been asking a lot of questions about my grandparents lately (it probably helps that we have some of their pictures hanging around the house), and it's been fun traveling memory lane a bit talking with him about them.

[DH]

my grandpa and I went through his WWII pics at length a few years back and he abruptly died a short time after - it would have been one of my biggest regrets had I not looked at those pics, and heard all his stories behind them.

sorry for the loss, munson.

Funny this came up-- the other day I came across some old WW2 naked calendar girl playing cards that I found after my grandfather died. But I wiped it off, and they still look okay. shtein was better made back then.

(Serious about finding the cards again, though.)

[hbionic]

I'm glad you wiped it off. You're a hygenic man Mr. Pink. 

[Rome]

Both sets were gone long before I was born.

My maternal grandfather was a Philly cop then a committeeman after he hung up the holster.  The stories I heard about him and the Dept in general are fairly incredible even for an Irish flatfoot from Germantown.
