I have preserves in my refrigerator that my grandma made. I will never eat them but don't throw them out either.

What kind of preserves? 

I had some hot pepper jelly my grandpa made, but I ate it.

Peach preserves.

Yum.

I have made peach preserves before.  If you had said fig, I would be very jealous.

Why won't you ever eat them?

Because they are a tangible reminder of my grandmother so I can't bring myself to eat them or toss them.

I can see that, especially if your grandmother's gone.  If I hadn't already eaten my granddad's hot pepper jelly, I might have been tempted to hold on to it, too.

My grandmother made me a quilt that I would never get rid of.  I have a small very sturdy table that my dad made for my daughter and he helped me redo two old solid oak Queen Anne chairs.  I have my mother's Hummel figurines.

My grandmother made me an afghan about 20 years ago. I use it on a regular basis.

I'm sorry PPK, but I've got to ask.

Exactly how long have those preserves been in the fridge?

I cannot read in a moving car; I have to look outside. Even looking down long enough
to rummage in my purse for cab fare can make me a bit queasy.
Do you get air sick too?

I don't know, I've never flown!  :chin:
Don't worry about it. Aircraft are cool.

And if air travel doesn't agree with me, I can always request one of those cool little airsick bags!   :2thumbsup:
Better yet, just don't get nauseous.  :zoinks:

What's the secret?  :orly:
I don't know, I just never got air sick. Flying is fun.

I'm terrified of flying.

I never get seasick or airsick or carsick, though. I just really and truly am scared of flying

I'm like that too. I have lots of stuff I can't throw away because of similar reasons.

i need to pay some attention to my floors, and brush my teeth more often. i seem to have very bad teeth for some reason and no amount of brushing is doing a thing to bring me relief!

You need dental care. A proper dental cleaning can remove plaque from your gumline area.  :nerd!:

That's not too long, jelly & afghans, you're grandmother sounded cool.

No one touched my grandmother's freezer unless they were extremely brave or really, really stupid. She threw a fit if you even suggested cleaning it out for her too.  :zombiefuck:

We do not like Bush's Black Bean Fiesta.  Pretty flavorless.
