Aunt: like a mom, 'cause your's is gone.

I love this aunt, and we have been a tremendous support to one another over the loss of my mom/her beloved sister; but no offence intended to her, she is not cooler than my mom.

I figured as much. I tried to find something more apropos, but, couldn't seem to.
That's why my much-used... ;) :)

Hmpf! Awkward doesn't cover that. Is there still a Grandpa?

Yes. I have zero relationship with either grandfather, though. My maternal grandparents did not like my mother's choices, including marrying my father, so they were completely estranged until my great grandmother died in 2009, and then they were mostly estranged, but then my grandmother died three years later, so my mom now has a relationship with her dad again (my grandmother was mostly the cause) and he has a relationship with my brother since he is the only grandson. I have zero relationship with him, other than seeing him at family get-togethers at my aunt's.

My paternal grandfather has no relationship with any of his grandchildren. We barely have conversations at family get-togethers; he usually talks to his sons and I talk to my dad's half brother (who I do have a relationship with) and his wife. My grandfather has not seen his other grandchildren in over a decade and has not met his great granddaughters. I think it's partially my step grandmother. Apparently, she didn't like it that my dad, who was my age when they got married, lived there so he could go to school (his mom lived up in PA, and her husband at the time was way worse). After he graduated law school, my grandfather made him move out, but paid rent until my dad could find a job. Also, my grandfather has the beginning stages of dementia, and although he may have forgotten that I graduated, she certainly didn't.

Catch 22, though. My parents met because my grandfather and step grandmother had a son, and my mom was their babysitter. So on one hand, I owe her my existence. On the other hand, she tried to make my father's life miserable, caused friction when my parents were dating, and has since kept her grandchildren away, though keeping the grandchildren away was partly my grandfather. So...screwed up situation. I've also been warned not to trust her.

Also, the last time I spoke to her was a few weeks ago when I mistakenly got a call from her aunt, who was absolutely hysterical, that her uncle had died, and her aunt asked me to call her because for whatever reason, she couldn't. Yup, so 100% awkward.

I need to figure out what these smilies all mean (can't tell on an iPad).

For the longest time I was using this :hungover: (hungover), when I think I meant this :depressed: (whatever it means).

I know what ya' mean. I'm always tryin' to pick the appropriate ones from the relatively limited selection (the other site had oodles of 'em) here, and, I don't have any others saved anywhere. But, by now, I hope everyone kinda' knows where I'm comin' from. :)

I hope, anyway... :confused: :cyclops: ;) :)

I got a new case for my phone. I'm not used to it yet. The touch is less sensitive near the edges and it's messing with my typing. I got it because it's fully waterproof and it's summer and I'm going to be near a lot of water. Plus it retails for $70 but was $25 on groupon. Jury is still out.

If you decide you don't like it, I have one I was going to give PUSH for his birthday (but then I realized he doesn't have hands and therefore could not use it).

So, if I read this correctly, that means you're getting 4-8oz. servings and 1-4oz. serving.
So you can divvy it up that way, or you can serve 4 larger-than-a-cup servings or, 5 smaller-than-a-cup servings...or, as previously discussed, just eat the whole damn box yourself...WOOOHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I LOVE options...!!!!! :joyfull:

:confused: ;) :)

If I did that I'd have to borrow your castoff Big Boy Pants.

It means "depressed".

Also, I think you can hold down on the smiley on an iPad and it will tell you what it means. Not sure though.

No, on an iPad, the description, rather than the picture, shows up in a quote.
That's how I found out :hungover: was hungover.

So, what means "yuck, disgusting"?
As in, my hubby brought me home a chicken sandwich, but it had tomato on it ....

:depressed: ?
:grumpy: ?
