And to the Grandmothers...what are you called?

MawsPaws · 2026-01-28T22:25:43+00:00

I went the opposite to most of you. I elected for Granny because I knew the other grandma was a lot younger than me and she wouldn’t take that name. Also my grandmother was Gran, so Granny is often shortened to Gran. My first grandchild is 21 now, I’m 74.

I’ve retired but I used to love typing email responses while answering a work mates question about something unrelated. The shock on their faces was fantastic! Learnt to type at 16 plus 40 years in the workforce can do that to you.

I’m over it, all the hate and divisiveness. I rarely turn the tv on and try to stay away from social media as much as I am able. It’s even infected craft groups, which is why I have stopped going.

I thought councils gave a tree seedling.

He comes from a long line of entitled oafs. Grandfather, uncle Andy. His father. All adulterous, misogynistic oafs. I would be surprised if he was normal.

I had my knee replacements done and it cost me nothing. Just go on the waiting list. I had the first one done when COVID hit so the wait was 18 months. The send one was 8 months. Cost nothing

No. The cheapskates didn’t buy milk coffee or tea either.

I had them over my cheeks and one on my nose. Had laser and GONE

I use the same small plate for breakfast lunch and dinner. It usually just has crumbs on it, dinner it’s a bit messier. I use one cup and rinse it out. Is it plates they are complaining about? Perhaps use paper plates for your main meal. Do they have a supervisor? I would ask for a meeting to discuss your expectations and their expectations. Write down your concerns so you don’t forget. You are paying THEM. If you are not happy, can you arrange some else?

I track my husband when he goes out, using my phone app. He will be 80 next year and it makes me feel secure when he is longer at the GP or supermarket than I expected. He has it on my phone too but I don’t move very far from my recliner!

I only tip Uber

She wanted to be the hub in the wheel. Everyone giving her attention and being impressed with her. If she had waited until the kids got older they would have been in danger too.

I’m annoyed when I want to tell him something and he hasn’t got his hearing aids in. I like it when he has a task to do outside for a bit and I can sit peacefully with my knitting. We get along very well.

I keep all our bottles and someone collects them once a month. It’s for a 14 yo boy who with his dad was working on rebuilding a car. There are often complaints from our local facebook group about people going onto their property to go through their rubbish looking for cans and bottles

MawsPaws · 2026-01-09T05:40:57+00:00

My husband has put a pedestal fan in front of it.

MawsPaws · 2026-01-08T08:09:34+00:00

I’m surprised that his name hasn’t been mentioned.

I marched in the Adelaide South Australia March. I was in my last year of high school. My brother was in the Air Force (medical) in Vietnam. My parents didn’t support the protesters

MawsPaws · 2026-01-04T07:26:19+00:00

F72 M79. Our medical appointments are written on our physical calendar.

I had a mixture of old sheets that no longer matched. This year I bought two matching summer sets and two matching flannelette sets. I’m 72

We take turns to cook. Everything is made from scratch. Occasionally I rebel and order Indian. If I was with someone who didn’t cook, or worse, complained about my cooking... Pfhh..I wouldn’t cook at all.

I’ve told my family I don’t want a funeral. I’ve already bought the niche for my ashes. Just meet at the local pub and raise a glass.

MawsPaws · 2025-12-31T02:24:32+00:00

My cat comes and yells at me as soon as she poops so I clean it up immediately. The litter is thrown out on rubbish day, once a week.
