Grandpa,Nice things some have done during the pandemic? How about cute things? Because of my line of work, I have been putting in a lot of overtime. With that, I have been too stressed to get much rest. One morning I came in from a very difficult night at work...

Grandpa,Things that people have done during the pandemic shut down? Well, when my job shut down, we all got a letter from the boss that said, “Our business is not on the government’s list of essential businesses. You are not defined by your work. You are essential! Please, take this...

Grandpa says:Happy Birthday to my younger brother. I have the upper hand this time because you don’t even know I write this column! But I know that you are 64 years old today and still a full year away from joining me in blissful retirement. Love you, little brother! Grandpa,You...

Grandpa,Last week would have been my 45th wedding anniversary if my wife were still alive. She passed away nearly three years ago. On the date of our anniversary I got a card in the mail addressed to her. It was “signed” by (her brother) who was killed in the same...

Grandpa,Just so you know, I agree with the priest! (See The Voice, June 11, 2020). That man should kick out the queers who kissed each other. Queers should not be allowed to stay in a house where a man brings kids. Stop calling them “gays”, God calls them abominations. Grandpa...

Grandpa,I am a maternity nurse. Several of us have been looking at the stay at home order differently than most. We are planning to be very busy between Thanksgiving 2020 and Valentine’s Day 2021. So much for the six-foot rule in social distancing. Grandpa says: Thank you. My staff members...

Grandpa,I just read an online advice column where the lady was whining that her husband does not lock all the doors and windows, set the alarms, and turn on all the outside lights before going to bed. I have the opposite problem. My other half won’t stop locking everything. I...

Grandpa,Here is a scam I just encountered. I got an E-mail from an address claiming to be from the government. It said that I need to verify my unemployment in order to begin receiving checks to help me through these hard-economic times. Because I am still working and have not...

Grandpa,Have you ever heard of putting chopped apples and nuts into potato salad? My sister-in-law did it and totally ruined a family get-together. I was the only one with enough gumption to publicly call her out on it. Everyone else was too afraid to hurt her feelings. Potato salad, as...
