( continues...) she said, with what passes for extreme clarity in the world of my Grandmother.
My mother and I dissolved into laughter, and the conversation then continued much as it ever does.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Yay, vw! You're still the vw that could. How are you going to reward yourself for completing this class? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but you put a heck of an effort into it and you deserve a treat.

Fay, you should introduce your grandmother to Verizon wireless. She and the "can you hear me now?" dude are a match made in heaven.

Hee! Mom asked me basically the same thing.
I'm gonna take a nap. 'Cause I've slept like crap the last couple of nights, due to my asthma. So, I just took some heavy duty cough medicine, and after I eat a late lunch, I'm gonna crash for a while.
I'm not very exciting, am I?

Punishingly Intricate
congrats, vw! hooray for passing and for being okay with not doing as well as you might have wished!
Fay, that is hilarious. No matter how conflicted or disappointed you might feel about the nature of your relationship her that is really a priceless moment. (and I know everybody is different and all but I really don't understand grandparents who don't absolutely dote on their grandchildren. My one grandfather may have called me the anti-Christ once but he loved the hell out of me.)

Ok. Apparently only pregnant women get sundresses with built-in bras. Hello, people! Some of us are well-endowed and would like a built-in bra in their sundress. Stupid fashion people.

OMG, Fay, bwah! I can also relate to the not-funny bits, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm doing pretty well about not beating myself up, which could I guess be seen as a bad thing, but with me, I think that's good.That is very good. I am as proud of you for just passing this class as I have ever been of your aceing others. Sometimes you learn more when you fail at something.
My mother and I dissolved into laughterThis is lovely. I know you wish your relationship with her were different but this is just a charming moment from a difficult time.

What is even happening?
Oh, Fay, I'm glad that's all it was. When I was reading your post, I kept thinking, "Well they need to get her taken care of right away. That is a stroke." I'm glad it was just her teeth.
