    Just when you're ready to explode, they do something that just makes you want to hug them and tell them how much you love them.

    My grandma died last week, but she left behind some goofy memories:

    Job advice to a cousin - Sell condoms, they're all the rage!

    She learned to drive at 59, and was a bit heavy on the gas pedal. When a cop stopped her because she was speeding he asked her Where are You Going? She replied Away from You. After talking he felt so bad about giving her a ticket he asked if she knew someone in city hall that could get it cleared up :D

    She used her first computer at 94. She died at 98, and was Skyp-ing relatives in Italy a week before she died, while being hooked up to an oxygen tank.

    For 38 years she was a subservient wife. If my grandpa told her to do something she did it. However, it seems that instead of relying on others to do that after he died, she decided to try things out on her own for the next 39 years.

    Both grandmas lived well into their 90s, and I think their strong social networks of friends, and family kept them emotionally healthy. Very inspiring. :)

    Sorry for your loss. Your grandmother sounds like she was an amazing and inspiring person :)

    A hot shower, some mersyndol and climbing into bed after 2 huge nights at work and being awake for 33hrs straight. I am absolutely exhausted.

    A martini deep, still in my bathing suit....in Aruba....
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
