Subject: RE: BS: Are we Aunty Mary? From: gnu Date: 04 Sep 06 - 02:33 PM I always was. She was a crusty, crabby, extremely bossy, miserable bitch. We used to call her Aunt Contrary. Even Gramps could barely stand her. Hehehehe.... she wrote a rather good and successful cookbook and thought she was God's gift to the kitchen. I'll never forget the day she cleaned Gramps' iron frying pan, which he had cooked with for over 60 years, with soap and an SOS pad. He threw in out the back door, went out and bought a new one, and told her to stay out of his kitchen forever. |

Subject: RE: BS: Are we Aunty Mary? From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 04 Sep 06 - 04:10 PM Funny to see this thread. When my sons were little, their Grandmother Mary used to send regular postcards to us. They went something like this: Dear Jerry and boys: Yesterday my sister Edna had to be taken to the hospital with an irregular heartbeat. She's in intensive care now. Her son Ronnie hit a deer driving his pickup truck and totaled his truck. Joanne's shingles have been acting up again and she can't leave the house. I wanted to go over to see her but my arthritis is so bad that I can't drive, and my car has a flat tire. Hope all is well with you, Love, Mary We used to kid about those postcards and make ones up like this one. The funny thing is, as we get older, we ARE becoming Aunt Mary, or Granmother Mary. I was talking with an old friend of mine the other day, who I've known since pe-school days (back when there was no such thing as pre-school.) He was laughing about his conversations with all of his friends and all they do is compare health problems. I mean, how long can you deal with conversations about hernias, shingles and prostate glands? Oh, by the way... I'm feeling fine. Thanks for asking.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: Are we Aunty Mary? From: Bunnahabhain Date: 07 Sep 06 - 07:02 AM I think it's like the rules, but for a different group of people. The Rules. 1. You make up the rules, as you see fit. 2. No Man is allowed to find out, know, or understand the rules. 3. If he does find them out, you must change them there and then. |

Subject: RE: BS: Are we Aunty Mary? From: Rapparee Date: 11 Sep 06 - 02:56 PM None of my aunts were named Mary. One grandmother, yes, but I didn't know that until after she'd died. She got an invitation to my wedding and the next day she dropped dead. I do not think that the two events were connected, however. |
