WWTBAM Bored

Way back when..... I'm pretty sure even before ABC got rid of the original board, my oldest had her Bat Mitzvah. The Board was a big part of my life and my spare (ahem) time. A number of my fellow BoardBuddies, many of whom are probably long past this Board, got together and actually sent her (through me) a Bat Mitzvah card.

:::: Fast forward, as I wasn't watching time flying :::::

My daughter grew up. She graduated from college. While her college sweetheart graduated and went to law school far, far away, they remained committed to one another. A little more than 3 years ago, they got married. Mind you, not only have I been able to watch my daughter grow up, but we've actually been able to watch him grow up as well. We met him for the first time when he was 19 years old. Tomorrow is his 30th birthday. Wow. But that's another story.

A week ago yesterday. my daughter made me a grandpa for the very first time! A grandson.

People have been asking me for a long time, "when are you going to be a grandfather?" To wit, I would respond, "I've got 4 kids. I'm going to be a grandfather. I'm not concerned about when." And I really wasn't concerned.

But now I am a grandfather. "Papa Ace" is what my grandchildren will call me. No shit. ACE is my initials and they will forever be remembered. Maybe I will be also.

It's all great. It's all fantastic.

I can't believe how time flies.........

There is very little on this earth that beats grandparenting.

And some of us are still here.

Congratulations Ace on Grandpa-hood!

Congrats!!!! You'll be a great grandfather. Wait. You know what I mean.

L'il Ace is gonna have a heck of a vocabulary by the time he gets to preschool....

Congrats! And....

You never know. My oldest sister is the only one of us five kids who gave my folks any grandkids. But you are the master of watch taping, so....

Congrats Ace!

My oldest, of four, made me a grandfather 10 months ago. While they live 1200 miles away we've managed to see her (granddaughter) about every two months, or more. I'm actually in town on business and got to spend time with her yesterday.

Terrific news, Ace!!

Congrats and enjoy, Ace!

That's awesome, Ace. I bet you'll be a wonderful grandfather.

Congrats! I became a grandfather myself in October 2017, even though I am not old enough to be one. My son was only 18 when his daughter was born. But my granddaughter is the light of my life.

Then why were you taping your watch??

& Don't think 4 kids guaranteed you grandkids. My 1 g'child is going to be 16 this year. And Tiny Troll© is 24 ( God I feel old)

I'll raise you four great-grandchildren.

Congratulation, Papa Ace!

Welcome to the world, Lil' Grand Ace.




Oh, geez! I didn't notice this was an old, resurrected thread. Well, I missed it the first time, so...Happy 1 3/4 birthday, Lil' Grand Ace.

Y'all realize the original post is a nearly two years old, right?

As I said, I noticed that just a bit late.

So the real question is, why is eyegor rooting around in the archives, looking for something to reply to?

Probably because, as he alluded to, the old stuff is more interesting and for the most part, less ridiculous.

I was going to reply to Eyegor's grandkid comment, but then I scrolled up and saw I already addressed that issue two years ago....

EYEGOR !!!!

MY MAN !!!!

Just seeing you (I don't really troll the Board much anymore) makes me remember the good old days. And I mean the really good old days. You know, when there was NEVER any politics. Only fun, frivolity, flirting, and Peahen.

Oh yeah, there were about 200 others that hung here as well.

I miss those days.

:::: knocking myself in the head :::::

And there was the phone game, too.

Fuck me.
