Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I wanted more about the whole family, not just the oldest lady and her daughter. Fascinating!
But definitely you could have stuff like that without living crazy long. Or, you could have my family where my grandmother died at 92 and only had a grandchild, since she and my mom were both old for their time when they had kids, and my sister and I still haven't had any....

Also, I have no further comment regarding msbelle and games.

I do not know anyone in my family who was married before 20. Odd I think for 3-4 generations of a Southernish family.

games are meant to be played by the rules, with the full attention of those playing and to the best ability of all players. not trying is as bad as cheating. Games of pure chance with no skill required are for punks and infants. Losing sucks, but can be accepted with social accepted behavior. Winning rocks and should be celebrated up to the point where opponents are slightly annoyed.
sidenote - large or noteable wins should be brought up on social occassions for years afterwards. Shugg Knight! What?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I've known grandmothers well under 40 (I think the record was 36),
I have students who are 12-14 years old who have told me I'm the same age as their grandmother and I'm 44. I was 41 the first time I heard that.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My aunt (80) is a great-great-grandmother, her daughter (my cousin) is 60ish, her granddaughter is a month older than me (40), and the great-grandson who became a father a year or so ago is 20ish. (Of course, my aunt had her first at 16ish, and the second cousin who's my age had her first at 18, so...)
My poor Mom is 70 and despairs of even getting to be a grandma, and her sister's a great-great.
In Conclusion, families is weird.

people, this Friday afternoon is not going to entertain me on its own. Dana and sara have twitchy eyelids, Jesse and Lee are off work and avoiding work respectfully, Kat had to endure CHILDREN"S CHIOR!!!, Robin, Consuela, Sophia, and probably more have work stress.
Come on people, post like the wind.

I now want to watch msbelle and Pete play board games together. Let me be clear, *I* would not be playing. But it would be really fun to watch.
