I don't know what to do with that. Does that mean you might know my Great-Great Grandpappy?

According to your profile you were born in 1968- that makes me 16 years older than you. Old enough to be your mother, :eek:

No, I wouldn't know your GGGrandfather. Heck I didn't even know any of my Grandfathers, let alone any of the Greats. My GGrandmother on my mothers side passed away while I was in my late teens - she lived too far away for me to get to know her, and in the last 10 years of her 100 years she was senile. She knew me when we lived in the next city from her when I was born, then we moved to the West coast. My Grandmother (mothers mother) is the only one I knew, and she lived with us.

All the rest of the grands (greats included) passed away before I was born.

As for Pam and I being old- she is younger than me, and neither one of us feels or acts old, no walkers, canes or wheel chairs or even motorized scooters for us.:P Those who continually bring up the age remarks as though it is a great burden to be older, are not secure in their own age. :D
