Don't Drink the Milk

My grandmother passed away last Tuesday. As matriarch of the family, her house was the gathering place for the family holidays.



She never got her drivers license. She never played with a computer. She wouldn’t know what an Xbox was if you set it in front of her. I can say with reasonable certainty that she never once played a video game. At least to my knowledge anyways.



However, she LOVED solitaire. Old school gaming at it’s best. This makes her a gamer in my opinion, and thus one of us. However, I shutter to think if she ever saw anything I wrote on this website. (Sorry grandmother.)



I remember she would have a couple of decks of cards on the table at all times. Not even full sized cards, but the little ones that are about 1/3 the size of a normal card. She
would play all the time. As a kid, I would grab a deck and play at the table as well. It was good times.



I don’t want to bring the mood down. Just sharing with my friends. I’m not going to put a comment section on this blog because I’ve dealt with the loss and I’m not looking for sympathy.



All I ask is that if you see a deck of cards lying around, and you feel like doing so, win a game for grandmother.

"I think I'm burning out on D3. It's going to be a push just to finish it on normal. I'm towards the end of Act 3 I believe. It's just so monotonous. Story is fucking great, I'll give it that. But I'm not much of a story…"

"lmao That sucks dude, but actually works to my benefit. If you came on singing it's praises, it probably would have pushed me off the fence on it. "
