8:33 am

i got grossed out by him having a baby with a young woman.. she was like 26 or something
8:34 am
rururocks
keith has always looked like a cadaver
8:35 am
MollyL
Jagger was 73 when that baby was born. That is ridiculous.
8:35 am
rururocks
i wonder if she squeezed him and dust came out
8:36 am
MollyL
Not to many people are still having children when they become a great grandparent
8:37 am
rururocks
it's just stupid.. how selfish in my opinion
8:38 am
MollyL
Well, it is all for the benefit of the mother so she will always have some attachment to his money. A sad way to bring a kid into the world, though.
8:39 am
rururocks
that was my point
8:41 am
MollyL
Wow, Tony Randall became a dad at age 80
8:42 am
rururocks
Richard Gere just had a baby too.. god knows how old he is
8:44 am
rururocks
still.. not really great for the kid
8:45 am

I can't imagine that someone over 60 has the energy it takes to raise kids. But the rich folk leave that to the nannies.

11:33 pm

jane, think pottery
11:33 pm
Nef
Hanging in there, harp. My brother died, it's been really hard on my 2 younger sisters, especially the one who lost her husbandlast summer (she spent a lot of time with Mark after her hubby died)
11:34 pm
grannyrose
oh, nef, how sad. you must be devastated.
11:34 pm
harpjane
It has to be very difficult!
11:34 pm
grannyrose
hi nef
11:35 pm
Nef
granny, my baby brother had ALS; he lived 2 years with that diagnosis.
11:35 pm
grannyrose
that's hard, nef. was his passing peaceful?
11:38 pm
Nef
Yes, granny. 2 of my sisters, his wife & I were with him when he passed. But he raged against dying until the last day & a half before that.
11:40 pm
grannyrose
you and your poor family have been in a very hard place. especially when your brother was expressing his anger. it would have been very difficult to handle, i'm sure.
11:44 pm
Nef
I do have a funny story about my being there; however.
My older sister lives in Helena, MT; about 130 miles from Missoula,MT where all of the rest of my siblings live. She called me at 4:30PM on Sunday (Jan. 20th) & said the mountain passes between Helena and Missoula were too dangerous to drive; could I go to be with my sister & the family? (I live in St. Paul, MN; 1100 miles away). I called the airline company and was on the plane in 3 hours!
11:45 pm
grannyrose
and my manners are sadly lacking. i should have offered my sincere sympathies to you and your family first please forgive. not a good excuse i know, but your news hit me hard. i am the eldest of 5, the other four are male. and i know what a bond can be forged between a bro and his sis.
11:45 pm
harpjane
It's been a rough winter here in western Montana, that's for sure!
11:45 pm
Nef
(It tickled me that she couldn't get there, so she called me to get there first!)
11:45 pm
harpjane
Reminds me of a trip from Missoula to Cincinnati. The ones who drove got there quicker than the ones who flew, due to a freak snowstorm.
11:46 pm
grannyrose
nef, how lovely that your sister felt she could rely on you to be there.
11:46 pm
Nef
It has been a rough year, out there, harp. My brother-in-law had drowned in the high waters while rafting in June.
11:48 pm
Nef
And harp, that sounds really odd that the driving car would beat a plane! :-)
11:48 pm
harpjane
oh, my. I didn't realize that. Our family lost someone in 1996, my brother in law, in a kayak accident on the Stillwater River.
11:51 pm
Nef
Yeah; Fred drowned on Rock Creek. he was with a large group of friends & they had always gone to Rock Creek for that weekend; (it was also Fred & my sisters' anniversary).
11:51 pm
harpjane
The Rock Creek by Missoula?
11:51 pm
Nef
The Stillwater River? In MT? I don't think I've ever heard ofit before. Where is it?
11:52 pm
Nef
Yep, *That* Rock Creek.
11:53 pm
harpjane
Stillwater is south of Columbus. It flows out of the Beartooth Wilderness and joins the Yellowstone near Columbus.
11:54 pm
Nef
Okay, it just doesn't sound like a Montana river (to me, anyway).
11:55 pm
harpjane
Montana is one of those Big Square States.
11:56 pm
Nef
True; but the river names all sound so "western."
