The granny is dead. Long live the granny!

Are you a member of royal family, with political marriages in your family?
:D Just kidding!
No judgement from me. I don't know about you nor your granma. :)

So you can't be sad if I'm in, right? So I'm in. Thanks, P1na.

I rest my case :)

True dat. My grandpa, supposedly a great, smart and kind guy died at like 40 (my mom was still a kid when that happened). His wife, a terrible selfish manipulative hag, is approaching 90. I sometimes imagine that he got cancer on purpose to escape married life with her without giving his daughters the impression that he didn't love them.

Its funny you did mention Hitler though. As I was reading this thread, the thought crossed my mind that if Hitler were giving away a free game and all you had to do was say "Heil Hitler" and turn in a Jew, there'd be people lining up to enter these days. God help us all if that game was Skyrim or even System Shock 2 (for you non-steam gamers).

Disclaimer: my thought had nothing to do with your giveaway P1na as I too have relatives I despise but instead a particular post above that put me in that frame of mind.

Death - Awaking from a dream
what we also call life
Life is not real - only Death is
When the Curtain has descended
The Nightmare is OVER

I'm in +1 !

In of course!

And to maybe inappropriately quote Tawni Balfour from Heroes of Might & Magic IV when she talks about her late father: might be the thing to wish instead of condolences here!

You are correct. I hace maintained she needed euthanasing for years now.

So she was like the old woman from "Bernie"? Was she also killed by a gay, mustachioed Jack Black?

Jokes aside, even though you did't like her, you still have my condolances, it still has to be tough on you somewhat. And somebody still died, so, you and your family still have my prayers. I think you will feel bad about it eventually, if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't exist.

Not in. +1

Not in. But I offer my condolences, whether they are wanted in this case or not, whether they are wanted now or not. Sometimes, the grief doesn't strike immediately. I was indifferent on my own grandmother's passing for quite some time. Hell, I was indifferent to her in life as well. Granted, she was a meddling, self-righteous alcoholic who, by all appearances despised her children (along with her will, she left a letter telling each of her daughters what failures they were). In the end though, I regret not taking her phone calls or telling her to stay out of my life. Despite her faults, I do miss her. At times, she could be a genuinely caring person, and having my father's mother pass when I was all but too young to know her, it was a nice experience. Her husband, a hen-pecked man that was the only semblance I had to a grandfather, passed a few months after, whether out of grief or lack of direction in his life (before becoming my grandmother's whipping boy he had been in the military), I do not know.

In a twisted way, I hope you are resolute with your feelings. It's easier to hate than it is to mourn. :(

You made me laugh. And you are a terrible person, but you know that already :P

Not in though, since I got the game already, so...ehm...congratulations?! :D

made me laugh, also its kinda weird.
also, count me in. :)

You wish. :3

Can you give us an example of what made her so vile? You've publicised your hatred of her, so you may as well justify it.

Can't really relate, but I can certainly respect anyone who doesn't unduly mourn the passing of relatives, bound by conventions. Count me in :-)
