Re: UO
So you are always eating stew?
Like, it can't cook a whole chicken with veggies and potatoes.
I told you, I own two crockpots and have never used them or had a meal from one ever. Just dips.

Thanks for the crockpot education guys. I will be trying something soon. Maybe I will start with stew.
For me, at least, it isn't about the 97 year old's education. It is for DS (if he is present). It's a teachable moment about speaking up for others as well as acceptable language.
But I am not going to sit here and flame anyone who doesn't correct granny because I get that doing it for her sake is pointless.
When I turn 85 I plan to start smoking again - though I'm sure it will be like $25/pack if not outlawed by then.
I will drinks strawberry dacquiris with my lunch and eat oatmeal cream pies whenever I want.
I don't have much of a filter now, so there's no telling what might fly out of my mouth when I'm an old lady. (hopefully not my teeth)

None of us force the hug issue with our kids so I suppose she'll die thinking they are all unloving brats.

There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
Without you I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

J. 1.14.13 my reason for breathing
I am on a quote spree. I was in Memphis and walked through the drive through next to our hotel at like 2 a.m. because the actual restaurant part was closed. I took the whole route the cars do, spoke into the radio menu thing and came up to get my food. They refused to serve it to me when they saw I was on foot.
Well, and I was clearly not sober.
/anecdote
I took a class in college one time and forgot to do the assigned reading before our discussion session. Everyone kept talking about JAPs and I sat there in shock as I'd only ever heard old men that were around during WWII use that term and was sure that it was not appropriate. Took me a while to catch onto it standing for Jewish American Princess - thank goodness I wasn't asked to contribute to the discussion that day or thinks could have gone horribly wrong.
Also, my grandparents are gone - but when it comes to old people I tend to weigh the offense against the amount of respect I would normally have for them and determine if it's worth saying anything. Thankfully other than reminding dh's grandma to call a brazil nut by it's proper name we haven't had any issues.
