Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
(although maternal grandmother was Gramma because that's how she spelled it, not how I said it).
When we first started writing on cards we went with the "Gramma/Grampa" spellings because of pronounciation even though we knew "Grandma/Grandpa" were more correct.
We are from New Jersey, after all. We need to conserve the letter "D" whenever possible... we're saving them up for all those eliminated "T"s.

My kids have Grandma Debbie and Grampy Don, Grandma and Grandpa (lastname), and Grandpa Toby and Grandma Terry.

My grandmom was GG to her greats who were around while she was alive too!
Both sets of grandparents were Grandmom & Grandad to us sometimes with the last name appended if there would be confusion. My parents are Granny & Grandad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How was it, flea?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I had no Grandfathers, and called my Grandmothers Honey (she wasn't the Grandma type) and Nanny Gay (Gay = her last name). My parents are Granny and Papa. My mom is far too young (and looks younger than she is) to be Granny, but that's what she wanted. MiL will be called Grandma.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Grandma and Grandpa on one side, Poppa and Nana on the other. I have no idea what my putative children would call my mother.

I think my mother would want to be Mémère, like her mother before her, but like her father, Pepere or whatever the equivalent is would NOT work for my father, so who knows.

My mom is Bubbe, my dad is Pa Bill. E's parents are Grandma Pat and Grampa Bernie.
My grandparents are (or were) Granny/Grampa (also Gumpa or Pumpa), Nana/Granddaddy, Grandpa Dave/MiscFirstName. (Grandpa Dave = my dad's bio dad. By the time he died he was on his 5th wife. We didn't see him much.)

Oh, my stepmother's parents were Meme and Pepe (add French accents).
I was out cold for the tooth removal. Ver' niiice. Now my nose is back (numb nose = so weird!) but lips still numb, feel a little sore but not bad. Have taken various pills as preventative. All in all just fine. I like pudding, and an excuse to eat lots of it. We'll see if actual pain kicks in eventually.
