I think our grandmothers often had tough lives and were bought up with in tough conditions. I know mine was, she was the oldest of 13 children and they lived on the land. <br /><br />In terms of your sister, yes I understand. I have thought the same thing myself when I see people with the parking stickers who do not look physically disabled at all. You just cannot judge though - exceot if they park in disabled car parks without the stickers, lol.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-70052262948626245072012-09-17T05:26:48.161+10:002012-09-17T05:26:48.161+10:00My grandmother, who we called Mother, was as blunt...My grandmother, who we called Mother, was as blunt as your grand. You never knew what she might say. My aunt is like her - blunt but in a more gossipy positive way. Mother would call me fat while shoveling food on my plate. And wonder how I got that way. When I was in a long period of singlehood between my first husband and second (a period of 20 years) she would say, "what's wrong with you, why can't you get a man?" I learned to laugh because she had zinger for everyone and everything. Now that she's gone, I miss her honestly, directness and ability to make us choke with laughter. <br /><br />My sister has lupus and had a condition that left her legs severely pocked and scarred as well as two hip replacements. Most of this isn't visible since she wears pants or very long skirts most of the time. It has been irritating to see people eyeball her when she parks in handicapped spots with her handicapped plates clearly visible. this has nothing to do with the point you were making but I wanted to share it. I, too, get annoyed when people use those designated spaces who don't need it.

No sugar caoting her words either. <br /><br />May I ask a big favor and email me so that I'll have your email address again. I've gone through 2 laptops already and have lost all of my contacts' email addresses. <br /><br />I have some time to burn today, so I'll probably be here reading for a while.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Tasha<br /><br />tashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-58678716655277838572012-09-09T17:11:41.785+10:002012-09-09T17:11:41.785+10:00I've been so busy, but I saw that you'd wr...I've been so busy, but I saw that you'd written something. I wanted to come check it out, but I wanted to really be able to sit down and concentrate on your posts because I love them so much. Your posts are like dessert for me. No, honest! I mean it.<br /><br />My grandmothers were not nearly as much fun as yours. My mom is also on the quieter side... usually.<br /><br />I agree with all the things you've wished you could say. And can I add one. I'm seeing more young women with tatoos up their arms, necks, legs. Not cute little, dainty butterflies or whatever, but Yakuza type inking. Don't they realize it just won't go with a classy strapless gown?<br /><br />I also saw a guy with his face totally inked. He'll never get a job at Disneyland.
