Grand daughter marries..
« on: February 09, 2023, 07:11:06 AM »
  Last of my grandchildren marries...  Nope, Gramps doesn't like today's tattoos or jewelry either, but I have to keep
   in mind that this is 2023, and not 1953..

  Gramps thinks she is beautiful.... but I may be a bit biased...

Of course you are biased and entitled to be.

My only grand daughter is unmarried now as she ran the worthless----um, can't really say that here, off some time ago. At least I don't see a nose ring. My GD has a tiny one and I constantly offer to get my little sidecutters and get rid of it for her. I don't care for tatoos but nose rings really annoy me. UGH!

Exceptionally beautiful. I agree about the tats, and African bone in the nose not being attractive. I have the same in some of my family.

Yes...I offered my side cutters too..  ..But of course, Gramp can only do/say so much.  I learned long ago, that
  unrequested advice is not welcome. ..But my hope is that the nose ring will go, with another year or so of maturity..
 
  Not to say she hasn't given me concerns too, as children/grandchildren often do. ..But thank the Lord, she seems to be on the right track now.
  I reminisce how as a little girl, I would take her to the park..help her climb up the steps to the high slide...
  Then Grandpa had to play the part of the mean old troll, hiding under the slide (bridge)..and jumping for her..but never quite catching her..as she slid down..

   Then we had to go over to a "stagecoach" built of pipes.  Gramps had to drive the coach and horses, while
  she rode shotgun, and drove off the stage robbers who were trying to catch us..

  After the park, she and Gramps would climb aboard Gramp's lawn mower and ride to the little local store for some refreshments.

  She is a big girl now, and works as a beauty consultant with a beauty products firm..  But Grandpa still treasures his memories....

My grand daughter has three kids, all girls and the oldest of which will be old enough to get her learner's permit to drive this May. I can hardly wait. NO, you can not borrow my jeep. Git outta here. Go ride that fancy bicycle I bought you.

I have far less problem with her tattoo than the grooms "god awful" earlobe holes that will only get worse with time.

  Know what you mean Dee..I'm hoping he gets over the fad, and corrects all that youthful stuff. I inquired, and 
   understand that they can be closed later.
   
   I can't complain however...he's a real hard working guy who treats my grand daughter like a princess..

  No drugs or other forms of a ball & Chain..so I'm grateful for that, and think the rest will work out..

She was beautiful!  Eac time you see her, offer her a Kleenex to take care of the "drip" from her nose.

  ...Been hinting at that for years, but I keep in mind, when she does finally decide to remove it, there will be little or no trace left.
   Not so with the tats...  I hate to see a beautiful young woman doing that, since it is about like she is saying....

   "God you didn't do quite right..so I am improving upon your work".

  ...And that can't be done..

Self mutilation seems to be the order of the day these days. I see it as dissatisfaction of ones self somewhere down deep.
You see it in heathen tribes in Africa, and so on.

Kinda like the underwear showing crowd walking around holding their pants up. Everyone knows the baggy clothes style originated from one size fits all prison, but our young folks are adrift lookin for leadership.

JMO of course.

That is a Beautiful young bride any Dad or Granddad would be proud of.
I know my folks hated the Greasy Duck tail hair, my turned up collar, and engineer boots with the buckle, and horseshoe taps, I put on them.  And some had Tats back in the day. Like Marty loves Mary, and later married Betty, and had to get Mary scrubbed off. I thought about it, but one of the few smart choices I made, and didn't. I do know a few Men with rings in their noses, but they are invisible ::)

   LOL...  Sometimes the invisible nose rings are far more controlling than the visible ones.  Perhaps down the road
  when children arrive, she will tire of babies grabbing for the ring..

Semi related- the felon that was across
the way that is back in college again
had 2 of those ear lobe stretcher doo dads
in place, and a few years ago during
one of his college stays, a fellow inmate
took exception to something and rapidly
removed one side the hard way.
He now has a dangly string of skin
where his stretched earlobe used to be

  Yes...never was keen on taking on any unnecessary  vulnerabilities.
