Update! County recycling sent out a newsletter with a link for instructions on disposing of medical waste.

The way my wife, her mother and her grandmother like to pack everything in garbage bags. No matter how fucking much the bag weighs they just keep cramming and cramming shit in there until it’s full. Nothing like a 55 gallon trash bag stuffed absolutely full with clothes.

I still had both my grandmas until 2019. My mom’s mom died in Dec at 101 and last year my other grandmother passed at 89.

I don’t know how young my mom’s mom was but my dad’s mom was 16 when she had her first child. She was 13 when she married my grandpa.

Worse than that. Grandpa was 30 I think. If not, he was IN his 30s.

He said when he was fighting in WWII he had a picture in his mind of the perfect girl and after he got out and moved to the town he settled in he saw my grandma walking down the road and it was the exact picture in his head. Purely love at first sight.

They divorced after being together for almost 20 years. She was running around on him. Which is almost understandable. He’d been the only dude in her life since she was literally a kid. Hell, the age my youngest is now! It would only be natural for her to want to see what’s out there. She always denied it but I’m pretty sure she did. He left her and would never take her back. Even when he passed back in 2004 and he had been remarried for 30 years, she was still the love of his life and he was hers.

I wasn’t even thinking about the cousin angle. Just the age. Yeah, you’re right.
