Absolutely Anything Else 2!!

I'm game but what was up with the other one? 

Some other threads were active like the COVID thing. 

Hopefully the COVID themed ones will fade away along with the virus.

Then  AAE and AAE Part 2 and AAE Rides Again will live on - forever!

Exactly, hope it all fades away like a bad dream.
My grandparents were alive in 1918 and they never spoke a word about the Spanish flu.

Same here but as they are all gone I'll never know. 

But as usual, kids don't appreciate their elders until it's too late. 

And while I am here, yes, you Fluffyettes, you know who you are!

I had to give No. 1 HU Fluffyette a dishwasher lesson yesterday.  She had complained she didn't know how to use it and took the training session (or lecture as she calls it) with good humour but there's a fundamental check I stressed during the session - one has to have discipline to collect up the dirty dishes etc from all over the place  and put the stuff in it,   i.e. it only works effectively if there's stuff to wash inside it.    The rolling of eyes  makes me think that particular clearing up concept is perhaps a step too far.

My only great-niece is now 13, the years my niece was afraid of.
So far, so good, she is a great young lady.
My niece is raising her mostly alone since she is a widow but gets a ton of support from her in-laws and father.
They all are people of means and within reason, my great- niece lacks for nothing.
Dance lesson, violin lessons, piano etc.
I was afraid when I first met her in the flesh in Las Vegas 3 years ago that she would be a spoiled little brat, was I ever wrong. So glad to see her be humble and kind as well as a young lady to be proud of.
Even so I had wanted to give her my grand mother's diamond ring, would be what,. her great-great grandmother's ring? I am afraid even as a  VVS quality ring of 3.4th carat, it would look like a cracker jack toy next to what her granny on her father's side is going to leave her.... Oh well, still hoping someday before I kick it, I get my own grand daughter.
My niece as a child would always say, I have 2 grandmother's one is rich and one is poor, I love the poor one more. That would be our side of the tree.
My niece posted some photos of her visiting her father a few days back, on his yacht off of Morro Bay, Ca. I didn't notice any sort of quaratine going on over there...
