My grandmothers are both 93 (my grandfathers are both dead). But then Stephen's *father* is 83, which is weird for me.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

My last grandparent died in 1986. I think they were all born 1900-1910, though I'm not positive about my dad's mother.

My grandparents were born 1909-1919. Great-grandparents were 1879-1892.

Our wings are not tired.
3 of my grandparents were gone before I was born. The last one died when I was maybe 6. It is great that my kids have been able to have grandparents. My sister was a grandmother at 39 with her grandkids being older than my kids. Wide ranges of ages. My mom will be 87 next month.
DH had grandparents. His paternal grandparents lived with us for about a year. It was like having grandparents for the first time in my life. And an extra set of hands for helping with my new baby, which rocked.

My grandparents were born between 1895 and 1906. DH (who is less than two years younger than me) had grandparents born in the 19-teens and 1920's. I have no living grandparents; he has one.

My 2 known grandparents were born 1910-1915, and the last one dies in 1996, I think. Since I don't know my father's family, I am not sure, but google leads me to believe he was much older than my mom, and he and his parents are also already dead.
My mom is 65, and I , guiltily, feel like moving farther away from her rather than closer. I hate being an only child.

All of my grandparents were born in the 19th century, needless to say, they all died before I was born. The only great-grandparent I know about was born in 1851.

In my college German classes, I learned that, unless one is careful, instead of saying that you want the vacuum cleaner, you might say you want a blow job.
In Japanese the wrong inflection will take you from "sponsor" to "pimp" as my friend learned when she thanked her sponsors in front of the local Chamber of Commerce.
My grandfather was born in 1901. My Mom's life in Georgia during the 30s might as well have been in the 19th century. They had mules and didn't get indoor plumbing until the late sixties. My ex-GF the medical student? Her father and uncle were in Holland during the Nazi occupation and had to sneak out at night to steal turnips to survive.
