Funnily enough for all of my entries, first and last names all came to me quite quickly. I'm too afraid to google them now to see if I made up any of the last names :pac:

My age is not my only problem. My memory doesn't help at all.

Just a reminder that this will be open until 6pm on Tuesday for anyone who hasn't gotten around to enter yet but hasn't already. Hoping to do the reveal Tuesday evening if it doesn't clash with anyone else's reveals, so won't be accepting entries after the deadline.

Great turnout so far...

Had been hoping to do this reveal on Tuesday evening shortly after the Sign-Ups close, but just in case people were definitely expecting it on Tuesday, just wanted to give the heads up that there's a good chance I may not get around to doing it this week at all.

My Granny died during the night, only 50 days after my Granda passed away, so I may not be in the hosting headspace this week, and of course depending on wake/funeral arrangements.

On the other hand I may very well welcome the distraction for an hour or so on Tuesday and fire off the reveal as planned, so I'll play it by ear for now.

Keeping the deadline as is (6pm Tuesday) if anyone else is still hoping to get in an entry just send in a PM before then.

beakerjoe

Fcuk LeVar. My sincerest condolences.

You do what ever helps you heal. Losing two loved ones so close together will never be easy.

I'm so sorry LeVar


Looking forward to the reveal, whenever it is. There's no rush.

Well all be around if you need the distraction.

HildaOgdenx

I'm so sorry to hear about your Granny, LeVar.
May she rest in peace.

Ahh LeVar, terrible news, so sorry.
We will be here whenever you feel like it

Zaph

My condolences LeVar. You do whatever suits you, as always real life > the internet.

Reberetta

My sympathies, ASLB.

cee_jay

LeVar, so sorry to hear that, mind yourself.

Kolido

Very sorry to hear LeVar. Thoughts are with you, take care

Electric Nitwit

Sorry to hear that mate. My grandparents went close together too, it was very tough at the time, hope you're doing OK

Ectoplasm

Oh LeVar, my deepest sympathies and condolences on your loss. Grief is a b1tch at the best of times and right now it's compounded by the weirdness. Always around if you need a bit of a rant and rave. Take care of yourself.

Oh LeVar. I’m sorry to hear about your granny. Sending you (((((hugs))))) xxx

KathleenGrant

Really very sorry to hear about your granny Le Var. It was very common when i was younger to not know all your grandparents. (All but one of mine was dead before i was born.) But nowadays people are lucky enough to have them round longer and they are really close to them and adore them. Was this granny on the same side as the grandfather who passed recently?

Sawduck

I'm so sorry to hear that LaVar, my condolences to you and your family. We are all here for you if you need us, don't worry about this game do it in your own time

Mam of 4

So sorry for your loss LeVar.
Look after yourself and take some time to do what is best for you .

Tauriel

So sorry for your loss LeVar. RIP

Irish Aris

My condolences for your loss LeVar. . . may she rest in peace. . .

Cheers folks, at the risk of sounding like a sap with feelings and sh*t, this little Forum Games corner of the internet has been a like second home for me over the last year (especially since I can't venture too far beyond my actual home), playing and hosting games has been a great distraction from all the bullsh*t going on in the world) and a lot of you weirdos have become good friends despite having not met any of you in person (or maybe its a case of being lucky not to have to blind myself by seeing your ugly mugs in the dim lighting of an over-crowded bar ; see even when I'm trying to be sincere I can't help but be a sarcastic prick... :pac:)

KathleenGrant wrote: »

Yeah, my mam's parents. Wasn't very close to my Dad or his family growing up, so my Granny and Granda filled that other parental role, and I went to live with them for a couple of years during and after college (as we had a full house at home and I gave up my bedroom there to my niece for a few years). I was also their first grandchild, so was fussed over and worried about more-so than the others, long after I was big enough and bold enough to be able to look out for myself...

Up until last year the whole family aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, all went around there for lunch every Saturday, which had been the tradition for at least my whole life anyway, and there could be up to 27 people there for lunch every week (sometimes people would be away, or working, or have something on, but the majority would still be there without fail), so the Pandemic and Restrictions had made it extra tough on them. We expected Granda, he had Parkinsons for a good few years, and then Dementia in the last year or two, but Granny had been fine up until a few days ago, so it kind of came out of left field.

beakerjoe

Please tell me if Im talking out of turn, aka please tell me to fcuk off, but I firmly believe in true love and its power to give people strength.

My Mam has been in hospital since 18 May last year and shes battled Delleium, infections, Covid and pneumonia. Its always been touch and go, and that while shes fighting away I know hiw quickly things can change.

Be separated from my Mam has afffected him. He cant visit video calls only go so far and hes massively lonely. Things could easily turn for the worse for her. And I fear if anything happened to her, the grief would kill him.

Right now the hope of her coming home may slim in the near future but its keeping him going. Hes incredibly optimistic and that belief gives him the strength to carry on. He loves her so much that it gives him strength.

If anything happened her, I fear he'd lose his own will to live. So I can only imagine what your granny went through losing her love of her life and how you must feel losing them both so quickly.

Im not a majority religious guy, but I do believe there's more to death than bleekness. I believe that loved ones will meet again somehow after death and that they are with eachother as they should.

I really hope you are ok LeVar. Feel free to act the sarcastic prick towards me anytime if it helps.

aaronjennings

Man, I am so sorry to hear that LeVar, my condolences to you and your family. You do whatever you feel is best for you

HeidiHeidi

Ah jeepers, condolences to you ASLB. That's hard at any time, but particularly now in the current climate. But what a lovely picture you painted of you all!

RIP to both your grandparents.

(((((HUGS))))) to you too, beaker x

I agree with this. I mentioned that I lost my grandparents close together, and I firmly believe that was no coincidence. Now that a few years have past I happily romanticise that fact, it actually makes it a lot easier for me

There is a fab community of generous spirit and positive care here. I'm sad that the world isn't bringing ye the good things ye deserve, and I hope ye both continue to feel support here in whatever way ye need it at these times. I'm skulking in a hospital bed being cheered up by reading funny and possibly accurate (;)) castings in movies myself :pac: thinking I was so lucky to stumble in here in Jan when I needed a little distraction and kindness. Ye are both, as with all of the people here, firmly in my oxycodone covered thoughts tonight! Hugs all around!

Get well soon ari... oh and when you're done with the movie castings you should check out the ongoing Walrus you entered

I hope your Mam pulls through and that they both have many more years together, and you have many more years with them.

So they were grandparents to you by birth but so much more in reality. That is very tough. And while losing your Granda was very hard you had probably come to terms a little with losing part of him because of the dementia and having other health issues made it more expected when he did pass. But losing your Granny unexpectedly is very hard particularly because of the closeness of your bond with her.

They sound like amazing people. It's lovely that they were the centre of your family's life for Saturday lunches. People are very busy these days (before Covid anyway) and if that number of people gathered every week that speaks volumes about how special they really were. What wonderful memories you will have of those times.

Still very tough days ahead for you. Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself physically and emotionally.
