DUmmy Pam Dawson makes up a story about some old lady. Not her best effort:

A tribute to Grandma Bonnie. One of the best ladies ever. Go with God
Hubby's dad called this morning. She is in ICU (blink, blink, blink, blink, shiny truck gleaming) and we probably better go this weekend if we want to say goodbye to her. She is 88 and has been in poor health for the last couple of years. She probably won't even know anyone is there. She keeps calling for her mommy and daddy.
When we were first married, she used to slip us 2-3 hundred dollars when we would stay the night with her. We would not accept it (does ANYONE believe that?) and try to give it back to her, but we would find it in coat pockets or shoes when we got home. It became a game to her. We would use that money to buy her things, later she just bought things for our daughter because she knew we wouldn't try to give that back.
One time she wanted to buy me a touch lamp. I was indifferent one way or another if I had one or not...but she really wanted me to have one. Hubby is a ham operator and knew that when he used the radio, it would whig out the lamp, so he told her we didn't need it. She looked at him with a really angry look and in the store she told him "you are a shit ass" you just don't want her to have anything. I never laughed so hard in all my life.
Once when I was assistant manager at ALDI, I was telling her about how sometimes I might be the only one in the store doing the cashiering and also the stocking. She asked "how do you go to the bathroom" I told her I went when no one was in and just did what I had to do as fast as I could. Her comment...those people, think their shit don't stink... hehe. She was so protective with her family.
Some of the ideas she and her husband (hubby's step granddad) had were kind of strange tho. They would buy trash bags from the dollar store and tell us how wonderful they were and cheap too, but that you had to use two of them at a time because they might rip. (we never could get them to understand that they really were not saving money)
She is a loving caring woman with a heart as big as gold. If anyone deserves heaven it is her.
We will miss her, but in heaven she will no longer be in pain!!!
Grandma Bonnie, it is okay. We love you.

Her only reply, as usual, comes from a nameless, faceless DUmmy of no consequence whatever. Even the CalPig has ignored her:

1. What a sweet tribute. Sounds like a good long life well lived
may she have a smooth peaceful passing...And it sounds like you and your husband are ready too, and will be celebrating her life more than just mourning her death.
Actually, DUmmy greenbriar makes the imaginary dying woman sound like a very uncivilized, unpleasant, vulgar old bat.
