fucking sense of entitlement people piss me off.

Yep. And even after all that...seniors STILL won't ask for anything. At work their excuse for not using the call bell, or telling the nurses when they have an ache/pain/whatever, is that "I don't want to be a nuisance."

Yeah, man! You know what, if I met one of those little dickheads I'd take a huge piss on his beloved leather jacket just to show him.

Just got back from lunch with said grandmother. OMG she had fresh strawberries from her garden. She grew up in a 3 room cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. She was one of sixteen children, and now she is the only one of those 16 left.
Then and now:

i miss my grandparents, a lot. my mom's parents both died when i was 13 and i was really too young to understand what it meant to lose them at that point. they lived on a farm in Wisconsin their entire life while i was being raised in NY, so i only saw them about once per year... but my grandma and i wrote letters to each other and talked on the phone all the time. she was very artistic and did a lot of watercolor paintings, so i used to send her a lot of drawings and art projects that i did when i was a kid and she was always so proud of me. sometimes i wish she was still around to see that i did become an artist when i grew up, because she said she always knew that's what i'd be.

My grandpa on my dad's side died in WWII in a concentration camp... My grandma on my dad's side survived... but drank herself to death because of the concentration camp.
My grandma on my mom's side is a overly-lovey-dovey-let me feed you until you drop- clepto. My GRANDPA on my mom's side... I love him! He's small, he works hard, he fishes, he smokes and I still crawl into his lap and cuddle with him.
I wish I could have met my hubby's grandparents He was raised by them, and they meant a lot to him. Every story you hear about them you can just hear that they were madly in love with one another... we have a picture of them on the fridge. His grandma died just last year, 9 days before the day we were going to go up and visit her so I could meet her. We talk about the two of them all the time though... I love hearing stories about his grandparents. They traveled all over the place by boat
She grew up in a 3 room cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. She was one of sixteen children, and now she is the only one of those 16 left.
