lmao

I was engaged for a year, didn't work out, but if he had died I probably would have gone with him. So to be married 62 years, that's just your entire life and livelihood.

He actually died of some crazy accident. He moved to this assisted living place after grandma died because he didn't want to be alone in the house anymore. He was just walking down to dinner and fell. Went to get checked out, was ostensibly fine, then said "I don't feel so good" and died like 10 minutes later.

Internal hemorrhage I guess.

Ouch, sorry to hear that

Being old sounds scary

>trip

>die

Oh my god, that's awful. I'm sorry about thatt, ophiuchus. Out of genuine curiosity, what did people do before there were assisted living places?

Keep their loved one at home and take care of them?

Lived with their kids I think

Are we just so atomized?

@Selma they lived with kids yeah

Yep absolutely

I won’t go to a home. F that.

3 of my grandparents died before I was born, and only my grandfather remains, but he could never even care to remember my name, and would call me my sister's name who was 20 years older than me. I think you're supposed to be close to your grandparents.

@Selma that's pretty common I think

Well it's just, I don't know, I think families are supposed to stay together and take care of one another.

my grandpa would often mix me up with my cousin, I think it's just old people

Need to keep your mind sharp

I think different generations living together is still pretty common in many parts of the world. Sad that it's not so in the US

that's why its important to study mathematics

He's 89 and still works full time, PRETTY SURE HE'S SHARP.

@ThisIsChris How hard would it be to create a website with a searchable database where you can click check boxes to show certain listing?

Yeah, extended families should be a US thing.

My family and all their spouses and future spouses lived within a few blocks of each other pre white- flight. Chokes me up driving through there.

@Jacob not very hard, if you go through the tutorial on the django website they walk you through doing that. I wouldn't make that in Java though it would take much longer

How short was he?

I really should be very very grateful I'm not 5'2 like he was

@ophiuchus I see being a leader is in your genes

@ThisIsChris hmmm so I have to learn Python to do it?

what if I want to do it, like, now?

He's also the only one standing in the instinctive pose of covering his NETHER REGIONS.

5'2? His power levels are higher than even mine

It means insecurity or demureness I think.

Is there a way to do that in a Wordpress site or something?

It's for my immigration facts database

I didn't break 6' but at least I got bigbrain MIT genes

And the Irish alcohol tolerance

@Jacob hmmmm you could probably find a purpose made plugin, if you're already used to that ecosystem

My grandfather on my mother's side is 5'3 or so
