I recently found out that my son and daughter in law are pregnant and I'll be a grandfather for the 1st time in March. Everyone asks me if I'm excited by the news but I don't think I am. I think it's brought home to me how old I actually am. It doesn't make me grumpy as such but everytime someone asks me what I would like to be called, Grandad, grandpa, grandpop, Poppa and various other options, I think I'd like to be called Grumpy. I think I'd like that.

The damn stupid "Euthanasia" laws in this country. I have spent the last 5 days watching my father-in-law sucome the the evil that is caner!! at present , he is no more than a breathing corpse!!!!
Doctors say he may live till friday but they are not sure
How much longer do we have to watch loved ones suffer , when there is nothing but pain for them!1
I would have stopped my dog from having to suffer this yet, a human has to linger on with no choice
sorry guys just so p***ed off right now

Hi Teddy, It's a highly contentious moral question which few of us could answer but be assured that many of us have asked the same questions at the bedside of our loved ones at times past and you have our sympathy with sharing this. Bryan B.

Lone,
Unless there is an underlying reason. Statistically if you have made it to 75 you are odds on to make it to 85. Seriously!
My old guy is 90!
