Sure her name wasn't Clampett?

Re: Don't Mess with Granny

Impressive achievements, but far from a pleasant visage. But she must have had a hard life.

Re: Don't Mess with Granny

This is the closest challenger I can offer. I thought SHE was chilling until I saw your candidate. My girl got her Lenin in 1944, though I still don't know why.

Gents,

I believe ph3s meant to say Granny worked in the dairy industry. And they say milk is good for you...

My HSL dairymaid group is to one who seems to have enjoyed a much better socialist life.

Re: Don't Mess with Granny

Thing is though,most our babas and teeyohtyas looked like that. As for a hard life, this perhaps is debateable. Certianly true during the war years. As for work, no disputing that they worked hard all their lives. however, they enjoyed life also. Family units and extended families socialized, neighbours socialized-great food and drink.

Nowadays, do we even know our neighbours?
