Okay. My grandpa has been gone since '93. She is dating a good friend of the family! My grandma is 76 (a young 76), and the guy she is dating is a 70 year old.
I am really happy for her, because I don't want her to be alone for the rest of her life. So that is good ( :cheers: ). . . but I can't allow my mind to think about it beyond that. :? Just, way, way, way too strange!
How would you guys feel about that?
I say, "YOU GO GIRL!!!!!" :cheers:
I think it's wonderful. No need to think about anything beyond her being happy! :thumb:
Uncle Rico: Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
Napolean: What the flip was grandma doing at the sand dunes?
Uncle Rico: She was on a date.
=======================================
My wife and I are in the middle of the British TV series "As Time Goes By" with Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. Have a look - it might help you to feel better about it all. :dunno:
It was funny, my mom called today, just back from a month long stint in Mueller State Park, CO.
It went like this:
Mom: So, have you been dating anyone.
Jake: Sheeeeshhh. No. No, not really.
Mom: Well have you talked to grandma? She's dating Dave!
Jake: WHAT??????
So odd. Grandma is going to movies, dinner, museums. Maybe she'll lighten up on me about going out so much. She is forever giving me a Bible for Christmas, bookmarked at Romans 8. Maybe when she realizes how hard it is "to be out there" we can share a common bond!
:lol:
My grandma has been gone for almost 10 yrs and my grandpa started dating fairly shortly after she died. My uncles got suspicious one day and while grandpa and date were out of town they went to his house to discover that grandpa had several Empty bottles of Viagra. So basically grandpa is getting more action than I am. How sad I am 25 and my grandpa is 79!!!
:lol:
:?
I really don't want to think about that. <twitches>
Yeah...could be depressing to think that your grannie is gettin' mo' boo-tay than you...
Sorry...just couldn't resist! :lol:
last time i visited my Uncle Wally, i found out he was dating (my Aunt passed away in 96). the great thing is his girlfriend has the same name his wife did, so he doesn't have to worry about blurting out the wrong name.
Nothin' strange about grandparents dating, some things take a little longer but generally that's fine.
Go Grandma! :thumb:
Yeah, I'm very happy for her. It was the same strange feeling after my parents divorced and my mom started dating my step dad. I was happy for her, but it just takes some getting used to.
It is one of those, "smile and shake your head" type feelings.
Well, I think it makes the happiness even more complete when those around us are accepting and nurturing.
/end grly moment :P
:mrgreen:
Ya it's sad that grandpa is getting more. This is a frequent topic of conversation between the cousins at family functions.

Those are the kinds of conversations that I run away from at family events.
Your gramma dating is no big deal. The shocker is that I'm dating. (http://forums.carmudgeons.com/images/smilies/shock.gif)
I was talking yesterday with a guy I know who bought his mom's house from her. He said he's going to make his bedroom her old bedroom. I just could not have nookie in a place where I know my parents used to. :nono:
Who are you dating, Road Stergal?

No? It is a little creepy, but only a little.
My brother is the creepy one in the family... He used to screw his girlfriends in our parent's bed... Just wrong. In fact... He screwed his girlfriends in my bed too... Bastard!
When my grandpa died, my grandma ended up dating and marrying his brother not too long after. Normal? No. :o
My dad's side of the family is all kinds of weird. Isn't that the story with everyone?
Dave :cheers:

Well...I hear davipu's heading up there soon....
This is how rumours get started. :mrgreen:
Rumors are good. They keep people distracted from the important stuff.
Absolutely...we do less damage when we're occupied by silly things. :P
yeah rumors are good for distractions
bloody gas prices..
We ain't seen nuttin' yet.... :o

Sad? Yes.
Surprised? ;)
I can't honestly say I'm surprised. But I am way more picky than he is anyway. If I wanted to just have one night stands and random sex I could but I prefer not to. Looks wise I am way picky also.
i had a (not bad lookin) 60 year old neighbor when i was a teen in miami, we talked alot while doing laundry in our duplex's shared utility room out back. ive always seen guys like in thier 30's going into her place. she mentioned her former husband very seldomly. i said one day being the smart ass that she didnt seem too lonely these days. she said well, i do love and miss nick alot (he was 63 while she was 58 when he died) . but even then its still basic mathmatics.
:? i was like ok, now im really confused, she says yeah, its a known fact, 30 goes into 60 more then 63 goes into 58. this kinda stagered me at first then i laughed. 3 weeks after she walks 2 men about same age out to thier car grinning at me all gleefuly. being the smart ass again i said to her More mathmatics betty? she says absolutly chuckie boy, but now were working on Times tables.

It's really great reading how "older mature" people are still "gettin' it on".
If you "got the jack", then you can still "get the crack". Hahahahaha.
HELL...........I am an old crusty Curmudgeon!!! Did I spell that right?
I can remember (long ago) sex on a washing machine, sex over a log in the forest, sex in the clover on a hill, sex smeared with swamp mud, sex in the ocean...............BUT.....................
It's bad though when it's degenerated to "hall sex". That's when you pass each other in the hall and scream........F*&K YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tee hee hee............:)
