Need to Know

This is the highway to success and happiness in relationships.

For many years I've had a love affair with words, especially words that are difficult to define.

Frank Fory M.D, my medical school professor of pathology wrote on the blackboard a quote from Sir Stanley Baldwin.

GRAND Reporting

IRS Audits GRANDfather

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.

The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.' The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops. Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.' Read More...

Nicknames

View Nicknames | Submit Your Nickname

What do your grandchildren call you? Some have family or ethnic traditions about what they're called. And grandparents are sometimes given the darndest names by their grandchildren for reasons that can be quite mysterious and inexplicable to those over two years old.

Since our inaugural issue, we've continued to compile a list of the myriad names that Grands are called. Perhaps it will inspire you or your own children! If your own 'grand' name doesn't appear on this list, send it to us by submitting the form below.

P.S. If your grandparent name is already listed but you have a special story to tell about it we'd love to share it with our visitors. Don't hesitate to submit it!
