Question
Limited OT, please.
Okay.......I'm getting snipped.
My GF's okay with it, but I'm kinda concerned how I break it to my little rich and cranky Grammy that the line will now end with me. I'm 40 and she still thinks any minute I'm going to get married and produce an heir. Hate to tell her but no little future Jon Boy nor Angus will ever appear in this lifetime. My sister has two children ( one boy and one girl ) but because they don't have the family surname, my Grandmother pretty much thinks they don't really count. She thinks we're all blue bloods and therefore "special" and already has big plans for my future MALE offspring. ( baby girls would be pampered but basically ignored, of course ).
Now isn't that special?
Any ideas how I can tell my Grandmother ( after the surgery, of course, as she'll try to put a stop to it if she knows ahead of time ) without endangering my life, my peace, and of course, despite my lame protestations of not wanting it, my eventual huge inheritance? I wouldn't put it past her to have me committed, pay the doctor off, or her feign a stroke or heart attack to stop me, so I prefer to tell her when it's a done deal.
Also, has anybody here had a vasectomy and could maybe give me some assurance that it's not really all that painful or dangerous and that ( big ) Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs will all still work correctly?

You initiate a confrontation with JSinger and when he responds in a like manner he is "common"
I guess I am having trouble with the math here.
It just doesn't seem right when everyone else gets to travel on a two way street and poor JSinger is expected to obey the one-way signs.
Your last line made me realize I sort of feel like Frogger in a video game.
Or like I'm lost in some town in the Twilight Zone.
I just wanted to get advice on my vasectomy. I never thought about starting a riot.

Just like it would have been easier for you to say something along the lines of:
"Your issues with your grandmother should not be a reason to get a vasectomy. It seems a bit childish."
instead of:
I get that you like to tell people about your "tell it like it is" attitude, but there's a fine line between offering the truth and being a bitch. Just saying
Yep, it''s all in how you put things when you disagree with someone or you want to impart some advice that might come off as unkind unless you word it differently with an eye to being tactful. I never understand the blatant snarkiness of the lounge even before the person posting a thread says boo to anybody. All you have to do is ask a simple question and......well, you know by now after reading all this.
And yes there is a fine line, but she enjoys the trip crossing it, I guess. Maybe it's a challenge or something in an otherwise dull life.

As to your husband not being able to get the surgery, I don't understand doctors about that as they don't hesitate to tie a woman's tubes if she requests it. Double standard, I guess.
I think I probably won't even tell my Grandmother I had the vasectomy when it's over, like you say. Nothing good can come of telling her and not like she's going to examine me to see, although if she suspected whatever, I wouldn't put it past her to try ( and probably succeed ) to get information from my doctors. She'll never need to know, probably, and might be better off not knowing at her time of life. Any money she's set aside already for a future child of mine will just revert back to her estate when she passes away, as there's a clause in the will that addresses my own inheritance and the child or children's in case she dies and I don't have any, or later never produce any "issue".
( Hoo boy, do I got issues!
She does love me in her own way, just not in mine. Funny thing is that I still love her despite all her ill treatment of me and especially my Mom, over the years. Just goes to show how deep words can cut as my GM never ever laid a hand on me but the scars of her words are still written on my heart.
Love never makes sense. It just is.

Are the pitchfork and torches for me or them?

If I'm so immature I would have squandered all my money on drugs, alcohol, gambling, women, partying, or plain foolishness. I also added that I have no criminal record, a good reputation, and don't abuse drugs or alcohol. Does me stating that make me bragging or does it offend you or is it just the money part that's the problem? I've already stated I'm not rich whatever, only my Grandmother is. I can't help that. I'm just a little fortunate and smart enough to take care of what I do have. That doesn't make me a braggart, just me being honest and able to defend myself with facts. If my stating those facts make you uncomfortable or resentful, I can't do anything about that.
Just saying.
