Anyway, congrats to nan. :D

Thanks all! I will pass on your regards! She is still scarily alert, and it will tell you something about her health when I say she still lives at home (with her 72 year old son!), and the party for her is in town, and she will get there by a bus put on by her club! She can still walk around a fair bit.

Nan, Gran, Grandma... all the same thing really. Always called her Nan. I will see what I can do about a picture, el_pappje! :lol:

It wasn't until we looked into that we found out you have to tell the authorities when somebody hits 100 - they don't know automatically. :?

Get her a strippogram, or better still get her an inflatable doll.
