Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had/have Grandma Pie* and Grandpa Pat on one side, and Grandma Lilla and Pop on the other. My more Southern cousins use Nana Pie.
My aunt is going by "Gigi" which stands for "Groovy Grandma" in her head. My parents are as yet undecided, but then who knows if/when they'll become grandparents.
* everyone calls her Pie, including her husband. Childhood nickname that stuck.
Congratulations Glamcookie and DW!
Congratulations, GC!
I had Bapa and Miss Di and PJ and Miss Mary (to everyone). Not sure what my parents would have been to little ones.

First 'anti-stab' knife to go on sale in Britain
The first “anti-stab” knife is to go on sale in Britain, designed to work as normal in the kitchen but to be ineffective as a weapon.
The knife has a rounded edge instead of a point and will snag on clothing and skin to make it more difficult to stab someone.
It was invented by industrial designer John Cornock, who was inspired by a documentary in which doctors advocated banning traditional knives.
Mr Cornock, 42, from Swindon, said that the knife will cut vegetables, but will make it almost impossible to stab someone to death and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries.
He said: “It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone.”
Not by stabbing, anyway. I'd think you could still slit someone's throat with it.
