      Addiction’s still around, it just jumped to different things like screen time and gaming. Everything else is getting too expensive to maintain.

      Nah they always bitched. Addicted to the TV. Addicted to video games. Addicted to computers. Addicted to cell phones, etc. The irony being they’re all addicted to their iPads to browse Facebook.

    My grandma killed herself by smoking for 60 years. Got stage 4 lung cancer and relied on my mom for 24 hour care for a year before she finally kicked the bucket. I feel no pity for her and I wasn’t even sad when she died. She was an awful woman who used everyone around her until literally the day she died. Played the victim in situations she put herself in and expected others (my mom) to bail her out.
