All of mine (4 grands and a great-grand) were Grandma/pa Lastname. That's what they've decided to go with (Although we're using first initials for signing with the baby, since V and H are very similar, but L/R and S/M are nicely sorted into similar sets).

It's real weird for me because "Grandma/Grandpa Lastname" do not yet automatically pull up the right person in my brain.

Wills are a whole lot easier when you only have nephews and a niece to leave things to, and they're all over 18 now, and four of them graduated college so far.

I should probably make a will just to make things easier for Maria when I die. I am the youngest person in my family aside from distant cousins and have no assets except life insurance (she is the beneficiary) and retirement savings. Once my debt is paid that doesn't leave much

I only had one set of grandparents and they were grandma and grandpa. My mom and her brothers and sisters referred to my grandma as Granny. They never called her a mother type name in my presence

I've held off making a will so far because Mom's my only immediate family member and both has access to my bank accounts and is named as the beneficiary of my 401k. In the unlikely event that I settle down, I'll have to make decisions about how to divide the $ up between her and my hypothetical partner.

My few assets are non-estate assets, are not subject to probate, and have beneficiaries designated - which simplifies things.

The tedious part is keeping updated the list of recurring liabilities and the details which will be needed to cancel them. I don't do auto bill-pay, but some of the accounts and subscriptions do auto-renew annually.

For me, the really awkward one was the durable healthcare power of attorney.

It helps to be a married couple with no kids, each of whom has one sibling. It makes wills pretty straightforward.

Did a little research prior to my first Botox appointment tomorrow, and have now successfully freaked myself out a little.

Dana, the Botox is for migraines, right? I've been getting quarterly injections for two years now, and I've never had any of the side effects, just blessed relief.

Yeah, migraines. Every other article was like, it's nothing! Tiny needles! and then every OTHER article was like, it's a bunch of NEEDLES! In your face!

I mean, despite my whining, I think I have a pretty decent pain tolerance. And I'm not very worried about side effects, except I'm not sure I want parts of my face to stop moving. But we'll see.

My grandmothers were named after their locations — Escanaba Grammy and Florida Grammy. My maternal great grandmother (who I am named after but never met) was called Gagoo. Her sister's grandchildren called her Aimee. Their grandkids each had sailboats named after their grandmothers, and on Saturday afternoons, you could see two elegant old women standing on the shores of Lake Michigan, shouting "Go Gagoo!" And "Get 'em, Aimee!"

Oh I forgot I do have one unique naming. The only great-grandparent I met, my Great-Grandmother went by Treasure. She got the moniker from a grand-daughter she was helping to raise.
