Canuck, yy is an emphatic yes.

My gran is 94 btw.

My mother used to think that LOL was "Lots of Love" not "Laugh Out Loud". Nobody really minded and didn't point it out to her until she was sending information about the impending death of an elderly relative....

FruJustFru · 01/11/2016 08:31

I'm now in my 50s but when I first came across LOL in an e mail, from a young, male business contact to me (many years ago now), I admit I did wonder why he was sending me lots of love. It was only after asking a younger colleague, did I realise that he was just laughing about some comment he'd made Blush

JolieColombe · 01/11/2016 09:51

Wow OP, reading back the first few posts you got very cross very quickly. I hope this isn't the behaviour you're modelling for your grandchild...

PortiaCastis · 01/11/2016 10:31

My Gran is 93 and doesn't like the interweb wotnot but she luffs me and she won the war on her own. She did great things for her Country and has an OBE.
She also knows how to spell

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 01/11/2016 15:45

Portia, your gran is the best! I'd accept mothering from her! She's earned it after all, what with winning the war single handedly. Grin

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 01/11/2016 16:27

My Gran was Bad in the war.

She was already engaged to my grandfather, who was stationed a long way away, & they got 2 days' leave to get married. Just after the wedding she got a telegram saying her leave was cancelled & to get back immediately.

So she tore it up & went back the next afternoon.

I thought you were deleting your account, OP.

Clearly we must be impressive enough for you to stay around.

A name change to goadyfucker could be in order.

rumpelstiltskin43 · 01/11/2016 18:25

She'll probably be back again tonight around 2am and tell us all how bad we are again, that her usual pattern.

Topseyt · 01/11/2016 18:38
