Your poor old Gran may be struggling at the moment but it sounds to me as if she has a lot of spirit and wit, rather like her beautiful granddaughter.

Take care!

You said the condolences help, so I'm offering you mine. You have one more person rooting for you in the midst of all this.

The best advice I can offer, regarding your Grandma, is to talk to her whenever you can. I don't know what your relationship is with you Gran, but from personal experience you can learn a lot from grandparents. When my Nan moved back into the area after living in a different province for years I visited her a lot. I learned that she was a candy striper in her youth, and saw pictures of her and my grandpa of when they were young. It may not seem like very important information, but now that she's gone I treasure those memories, and regret that I didn't make more time for her. Grandparents are trying to cope with aging bodies and minds; they also have to attempt to come to terms with the fact that they are about to face the greatest mystery of life: death.

I can't say what everyone needs, but I think anyone could use a friend, and a sympathetic ear, to help deal with the transition.

Just some random thoughts from a stranger. Good luck.

welcome back

My Condolences, and best wishes to you.

Be ok.

I really liked Walk The Line.

Hey, how the hell are you.

I haven't been being a good "friend" and reading folks journals lately.

I've not seen either movie - they won't let screaming infants in the theater. Go figure.

My son was in town the other day and we thought about going to see Munich, but opted for dinner together instead, 'cause I was not interested in the intensity.

i think it's cause when i went to work monday morning, he wasn't on the radio. i think he made his move finally, which makes me sad. i grew to like him a lot, and i'm even contemplating buying sirius just to listen him.

Yep. The picture itself is scary. Well worth the price of admission. Which, for me, was free. But hey, $50 doesn't sound too bad for a scary movie that's actually scary.

Lo, for you control their destinies!

Lord of the Bagels! You Rock!

Being the Boss always has advantages!

Happy New Year, Sweetie!

1.) That's a fuckin' weirdass dream.

2.) Naw, they never dock pay, least far as I know.

When you were in the Land of Og, was there a dude with a mohawk holding a drink any where?

Great stories, my family stories are either waaay too clean to be interesting or are fights.

Thanks for the compliment on the new tattoo, I'm pretty pleased with it myself. I can't wait to get it colored in February.

Very entertaining. You are just too damn cute.

I have a friend who is a resident and one of his biggest complaints is that people are always pushing for antibiotics and when he tells them they won't work for their situation they think he is lying to save the hospital or insurance companies money.

I think this culture thrive on stupidity. It keeps people buying lots of things they don't need.

Unfortunately, I think it's a common problem. I recently got a prescription for antibiotics (for an animal bite, not a virus) and was told three times each by the doctor, the pharmacist and the person who bought the pills for me, "Now, make sure and take /all/ of those" And I had to be like, "Yeah, I know, or else the germs don't die and they come back as supergerms."

ed norton... averybody loves ed norton.

Wonder if he has called his mom?

Hey, read your messages! and I finally got inked!

Nice, two for you, one for them.
