they're cool dudes though - i always thought it was pretty alpha that my paternal grandmother never learned to drive (and the grandfather kept it that way) |

Date: June 13th, 2012 12:56 PM Author: chestnut liquid oxygen station My maternal grandfather owned and operated a large potato farm. He built all of the barns and his house with his own hands. He once found my uncle sleeping with a mexican farmhand's daughter and he beat my uncle within an inch of his life. He died of a heart attack after hours of lying against the inside of bathroom door. He wasn't fat, but he was so big that the local firemen couldn't get the bathroom door open to save his life. Unfortunately his substantial property was encumbered heavily with debt.
My paternal grandfather fought in Europe during WWII and worked for the railroads after he returned home. His wife died of Cancer in 1990, and even though the medical bills were over 500k, he wouldn't declare bankruptcy. He made payments until he died at 88.

One grandfather was an engineer in WW2 then went to LS, became a tax lawyer for the mafia and a bunch of other shady motherfuckers and raised 7 kids in NYC. I often kick myself for not taking over this business. The other was a high school principal who enjoyed weed, pornography, and classic 'Vettes at his upstate farmhouse where 4 kids were raised. Me: hoping to crap out enough money from shitlaw to have two kids and a house in shitburban NY by 40. |

Date: June 13th, 2012 8:00 PM Author: dun stirring school cafeteria son of senegal OFS. Grandpa was a tough, poor Jew in an Italian neighborhood. Got in tons of fights, won a fair number, once might have actually killed another kid as a teenager (he was surrounded by kids with knives, so he picked up a brick, clocked one of them and ran), etc. Went to fascist rallies and threw rocks at them. Gambled, drank, saw Pacific combat in WWII, built shit, helped design and build his own house, amazing at wiring up badass stereo systems. Went back to school in his late 20s, wound up getting a Ph.D from U. Chicago, made a good life for his family in the suburbs, kept working out until his body couldn't handle it anymore (in his 70s).
