How would one ever know?
Actually isn't that big blonde woman from GoT play chewie now?
I lost my grandmother last night rather suddenly and unexpectedly.
Sorry to hear that :( My condolences.
@dday9 - very sorry to hear that.
Aside from my dad’s mother who passed away when he was 18, this is the first grandparent that I ever lost. So I’m simply happy with the fact that I got to spend 26 years with her.
Plus I have no regrets. In fact, just three weeks ago, after volunteering up at Boy Scout camp, when I was leaving it was right around the time that my grandparents would be going to church, and so I decided to attend church with them. And I could tell that it really made her day. Plus just this past Saturday she was at my house for my one year old’s birthday party.
I guess what I’m saying is that I’m confident that she knew we all loved her before she died and I’d like to believe that have her some comfort.
How old was she?
I'm without grandparents, at this point, but since both grandmothers made it to about 100, I knew them for much of my life. My mother's mother took a picture with a digital camera in the year before she died. She had been born in 1905. There were cameras around at that time, but they were a fair bit different. Just think of the changes in technology she saw in her life. Might be even more for us.
Well, it's weird. She lied about her age and even lied about a lot of other personal things that we didn't find out until my mom was about 45ish. So as far as we can guess she was probably close to 80.
We didn't start learning about some interesting things my grandfather did until he got dementia. Probably could have been called dimenstia for him, since it opened up whole dimensions of his life. He was always pretty taciturn up till then.
Hey guys finally getting a moment to post this up. Bought my wife a Golden Doodle for Christmas that she has been wanting for a long time. Now we have 3 dogs :eek:

Cute pup!
Oh he is! Pics don't do him justice at all. Hes like a teddy bear but dog version
I used to be a dog person until I owned a pure-bred border collie... he drove me insane!
Border collies can do that. Those are serious working dogs. If they don't get to herd things, they can be terribly high-strung.
I got caught in a sea of sheep last year. A herd of several thousand (maybe tens of thousands) were being moved down a highway to get them away from a fire. There were a handful of shepherds and a handful of border collies. The sheep were going absolutely bat-spit crazy, and me driving up to them didn't help. The rancher was in a truck leading. He told me to just drive through them, but as I approached, they started moving back the way they had come, and off into the woods on either side of the road. I felt the shepherds would prefer that I not spook the sheep in the wrong direction, so I parked. It took a while for the sheep to get up the nerve to pass the car, then they went by in a long, flowing, stinky, stream.
At the back of the herd were the border collies, and they were loving every minute of it. The sheep were moved a few miles, the collies ran a few tens of miles during that time. You could pretty much hear them saying, "yeah, yeah, let's move these frickin' oversized cue tips!!!"
That is a perfect description of border collies.
I thought they liked to patrol the border for illegals
