The hospital is that way during the day. They have 3 different chef stations with whatever they feel like making that day. Us night shifters get boned and only get the grill and salad bar/soup.

"Josh, did you have enough to eat?"
"Yes Grandma."
"In my opinion or in yours?"

Who does that?! Lady, if I'm not capable of determining how much I want to eat at age 30, you better make sure I have a restroom attendant to wipe my *** for me, and a mouthguard/helmet in case I decide to sprint into a nearby wall...

My grandma is 97 and yells stranger! stranger! when I visit.

she remembers only a couple people. My grandpa is 102 and sharp as a tack still. Hard to get around and about blind but mentally all there.

That's impressive! My grandma still lives alone, shops and cooks for herself, is fully active, and is still able to drive, as well or poorly as she ever has. She's tiny, probably no more than 4'10 now that she's shrunk with age, so her feet barely touch the gas pedal in most vehicles. As a result, she sits with her elbows resting on the steering wheel and turns the car whichever direction she looks. That's not a product of age. She's been scaring the crap out of me with that for decades, swerving from lane to lane, wherever her neck takes her.

The rest of my grandparents have been dead for a while now. It's a shame because after my grandpa passed away, I finally became seriously interested in WWII and amassed a pretty big collection of books on the subject. I'd love to ask him about his experience. He was a radio operator and machine gunner in the pacific theater. Alas, that opportunity is forever lost.

That makes me want to get off my rear and record my grandpas stories. He was an officer in the air force stationed in GB. Said he came back from the war with a 44" waist. He loved the food over there.

Had concrete guy over to give a quote for a couple new parking spaces. He said "dont feint when I give ya the quote, this is kinda a big job". I was expecting $10K or something absurd. $2700 final total.

Dude, dont scare me like that, that was not nice.

**** these stones and the last of the logs. Guy is taking the shrubs, logs and pushing the stones into the woods were I dont give a **** about them. Weeds will cover them in a week.

With age. If the mind stays sharp, the body fails. If the body stays healthy, the mind fails.

6 dollars for dry chicken and a tiny corn on the cob.. the hospital changed their food service people a few months ago, trying to be more healthy... it just pissed people off because less selection and way way overpriced.

Our chef at night works at a meat market as a second job. We all pitch in and he picks up Tomahawk steaks ~3" thick and we grill after the cafe closes.

Isn't that always the story when they change services. Someone is trying to maximize their income. Give you less and charge more.

Before they get thrown out.
