My Grandfather just passed away...
So, yeah. What else can I say? I don't feel like shouting, screaming, crying, or anything of the sort. I'm saddened, but not devastated - don't feel the need to walk around on eggshells around me or anything like that.

He was quite the character. Don't know how much it shows online, but my (and my dad's) sense of humor comes from him.

I trust he's in a much better place now.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

My old grandpa's on his last legs. Slowly losing his marbles, as they say. Every now and then it occours to me that before long I'm going to be in a black suit and saying good bye for the final time. And while I certainly regret that my last conversation with him may indeed be the last one we have, I have this nagging idea that perhaps the prospect ought to fill me with more horror then it actually does.

I suspect that I won't cry when he's gone, but I know for sure that will miss him. In the mean time I will visit him when ever I can because I know he's on borrowed time.

So there you have it. Not sure if it's relevant to you Sarnie but nevermind. My condolences, for what they're worth.

So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Truly sorry Sandwich...I know what its like.

It looks like he had a good long life and thats pretty much all you can ask for.  My grandfathers were the same way.

Dang... sorry Sandwich :(
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

My condolences, Sandwich. By the looks of the pictures he was a really kewl dude. I know what it's like to lose grandparents, because I´ve lost all four of 'em, in 5 month intervals. The most horrible two years of my life, I might add.

So, good luck there.

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
You don't know what you doing
Babe, it must be art

While I hate all old people, I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say your grandfather wasn't a complete cock.

See, I'm good at reading people, even with just a photo, and he looks like an okay guy.......aside from the whole Jewish thing.


That's the least-offensive post you're getting from me.

Well, it never really hit me till they actually cremated my grandad.... although he spent a long time in hospital as his liver was failing (amongts pretty much everything else), so it was probably a relief in many ways that he wasn't suffering any more.

Anyways, my condolences to you Sandwich.  

Trick is to remember that they lived, not that they died.

No, the trick is to remember that they were screwed from the start.
