Only one of those is NOT true?
I'll go with the toilet paper one being untrue. Although I had a relative that would dry TP on the oven door. This was only for HER use, as she would NEVER put TP out for anyone else to use!
hmm...it's a tough one, but I'd have to say that #4 is a falsehood...wow, that parrot has seen a lot of living...does it have a name?
It's gotta be the toilet paper. It's the only one that's just not possible.
Unless she uses newspaper as toilet paper, then maybe.
Do you like her?
Do I like her? Hmm, well, I guess I do, but it's hard to say. I have grown accustomed to her. I know that doesn't really answer the question.
#7 looks possible, 'cause it's so unsure of itself, but that's not it.
Wait a minute. . . . it's the PARROT! If she's cheap enough to dry TP and shop at thrift shops, she wouldn't spend the money required to keep a parrot. Parrots require high heat and no drafts, which usually requires a room of their own.
the pet parrot? can it live long?
Some parrots in the cockatoo family can live up to 120 years.
I'll reveal the answer tomorrow.
Dude, you've got one strange family :-P
I'm hoping the toliet paper re-use is true. If it is I'll send the link to my wife :-D
It's a tough call... I could see any of those being possible... I wonder if you're going to pull something like no it's two hips, and one knee... ?
Keep up this interactivness, it's a good way to keep visitors returning.
I am going to say the joint replacement thing.
I want to say the tp thing but fear it may be true.

Regardless of which is untrue - she sounds HARD.
I hope it's the TP one, as the others are so much more acceptable. Even the kittens (this happens on farms, and is marginally better than adding to the supply of feral cats.)
Actually, she sounds a lot like MY grandmother. Maybe I'll start a similar post about her.
I believe I still have an hour and a half left :-)

Oh, charming. Next thing we know you'll be talking dubyaspeak, finding some semantic loophole in this whole thing.
Drowning kittens freaks me out. Killing small animals is often the sign of a psychotic killer.
Loved the TP one the best, although I know you say it's true now that it's Jan. 2006. I wonder how much of your blog is fact or fiction. Fascinating!
Your Gramma sounds like a few people I've known thru the years. The exception would be that nobady else ever told me about the toilet paper thing before, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out others do the same. I hope she reserves those particular sheets for her own personal use and doesn't leave it out for company to use.
Love your Blog. I'll be back
