Cookiesmeller takes nonagenarian grandma to all the National Parks

granny has cookie face too 😁🥰

This story sounds VERY fake.

It's as fake as Granny's dentures.

These stories make me feel like a selfish dickhead.

Sounds nice. Article says the 2 were estranged for 10 years after his parents' divorce. Would I donate to their GoFundMe? No.

So she had to wait 92 years for someone to take her vacation?

This will end in tears when a bison gores them both in Yellowstone.

Cookie smelling is beside the point in this really heartwarming article. I mean, to have such a loving grandson.

Well, no one will ever love me this much.

On the other hand, it sounds like the Bataan Death March, so we good.

The Japanese were evil. They killed without remorse.

No one expects the Bataan Death March.

The grandson is a Jap??

Grandma, you in danger, gurl!

I tried this. Didn't work.

He's gonna take her to granny dump mountain

Tough crowd.

He brought her along to lure and procure the young local boys. I've heard this song before.

Kidnaps*

And we’re luring, and we’re procuring…

[quote]A few years back I learned of a shocking legend: when elders in rural Japan reached age 70 their sons carried them up a sacred mountain and left them on top to die of exposure and starvation. Obasute-yama, or “granny-dump mountain” is mentioned by a mysterious 11th century writer named Lady Sarashina and the 17th century haiku master Matsuo Basho.

I shudder to think of my fate, dying at 70, so young, had I not left Tokyo a child.

We have something similar in Boulder.

Who is paying for this? Is he milking granny empty before she dies?

Quite an aspiration really. I'd like to visit them all as well. The National Forests are breathtaking as well. She's very lucky to be so spry at her age, and still capable of enjoying them. A huge Mazel Tov for their reconciliation!

OP, just call him a f-ggot, with the “a”.

[quote]Would I donate to their GoFundMe? No.

They have a GFM? Yuck. I thought this was sweet until I saw this. They are not a fucking charity. Sit home and play scrabble with your fucking nana, asshole. Strangers should not have to pay for your attention-whoring ass. So sick of this cyber-panhandling bullshit.

Imagine making a donatia so two strangers can go on vacatia!

R23 Right. I'll continue my support of the SMILE surgeries, as well as for the animal causes I support, and my local food bank. I don't really like this trend either.

Spoiler alert.

RIP

R25, I do the same with pediatric cancer and Alzheimer's research. This habit of idiots expecting strangers to pay for things like "destination weddings" is just disgusting. People have no shame anymore.

R27 It's over the top. It's a trend spreading like a virus, and then many of them make money posting the trips on various social media platforms as well. Shameless is precisely what it is!

It’s a sweet article, and he’s cute, and now I’m sitting here a little teary-eyed missing my own grandmothers.

But granny had ‘never seen a mountain’? How is that even possible? She ain’t headless.

R29 - Up close and in person, Rose.
