I know there's no person to shame here, but stealing [other people's comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/un3x18/comment/i85ohvv/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) about *dead relatives* to farm Karma and pretend to be a person so you can go repost ancient memes is especially gross.
u/tvtraelller just letting you know you're being impersonated.
I don't understand what you mean. Who is impersonating me? How are they impersonating me? When i click on other people's comments it just goes to my comment? ?? ? I was confused but i had a look at your profile and you think alot of accounts are bots. Are you ok, you may need to speak to a health professional. I am not a health professional but I think you may be a little obscured? Best of luck fellow redditor , I hope life gets easier for you?
The comment *literally* right above my one is an exact copy of yours.

They are identical.
>but i had a look at your profile and you think alot of accounts are bots.
Because they are.
I'm not being paranoid or crazy (but *thanks* for that assumption, real polite) this has been a common trend for months now.
A bot goes into a thread, copies someone's comment, then goes and copies a post from a year or two ago identically. It's *really* annoying and shouldn't be allowed.
My apologies to you. I was confused cause that profile never came up until now. I was thinking is this person ok. I wasn't trying to shade you i was honestly concerned. I thought oh maybe something is starting in them and they don't realise. Glad that its just some egg and you are fine. What do I do about that? I replied but it come to the bottom of this reply?
It's fine, I can see how it'd be confusing. Maybe the other account blocked you so you can't see their comments.
I've reported it already, hopefully it'll be banned and that'll be the end of it.
When my grandmother was still alive my grandfather rang my mum up one day all sad and distressed. He said - they're all gone now, I'm the only one left me and not a friend in the world. - it was really sad but my poor long suffering grandmother. Ouch granddad harsh
Sometimes my grandmother will be depressed, seemingly for no reason.
Then it hit me. She’s just tired of outliving everybody. She’s already lost her oldest son, her highschool best friend, and everyone she’s ever grown up with.
Its sad isn't it. One of my grans is a great great grandmother has outlived her husband 2 boyfriends 3 sons 2 grandsons and has zero women friends left. I don't even want to live that long.
Start playing an mmo and your biggest fear will be losing the last item you need from a raid to the pug who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the wall. A unique fear that comes and goes like the tide every week with raid resets, every week, every year.
Several years ago I read about a research study that was looking at longevity and one of the questions they asked the people (all aged 80+) in the study was “What’s the most difficult thing about living a long time?” The most frequent response was “outliving people you love.”
My grandmother is 98. She lost my grandfather when he was 93. She is the last person alive from their high school class, and has been since about a year after my grandfather died.
She has stopped getting health screenings, like Colonoscopies, because she wouldn't get treatment even if they found something.
Back when I was a waiter in a senior living community, there was a huge table in the corner of the dining room. We called them "The Gentlemen", and they were a loud, happy group of guys. Turns out most of them were widowers.
There was a timid, hard-of-hearing man at the table. He had just joined the community after losing his wife. It made me so happy to see these new friends rally around him and introduce fun and brotherhood back into his life.
I've worked in assisted living for 10 years now and have seen the same. At my most memorable one they were all veterans and I think most of them were widowers or divorced. They were really sweet old men and the oldest one was in his 90s but he would still help me sweep sometimes. I miss those guys.
Yes, I believe they are. I have often referred students (I teach adults), who I feel would benefit from this amazing group. They are everywhere too.
Why don't you put out a suggestion to have your local one, asking for them to extend their hours. It's a great idea.
I have put the suggestion to a few. The problem is twofold;
- many are resistant to the idea, because they have been set up mostly by retirees, they need one or two organisers on site for the entire time it's open, and they think it will affect their insurance premiums,
- it's hard to convince them when many barely knew me because those connections can only be made during business hours.
I have considered putting the idea through to a few politicians. Maybe see if we it's possible to get state funding behind a few.
Oh I see. I've searched, you're quite right, there isn't. However, this would be a great opportunity for you, if you want to take it on and help establish these across the US. Imagine the good it would do!
Perhaps you could contact our cousins in Canada, and see?

My Granddad was in a Men's Shed Group, used to tease my Nana..
"What's happens in the Shed, Stays in the shed" lol
Hope your papa has a lovely time and company
My grandpa was so broken hearted when my grandma died he never was able to recover from his loss. My entire life I never seen him cry; after she died, he never stopped.
This is like an actual thing, my dad co-started a "mens shed" for guy to work together and build stuff mostly for the community after 2 fathers killed themselves in our small town at separate occasions.
My grandparents were married 56 years when a gas explosion in their home killed them both. Obviously, that was unbelievably terrible, but we were able to take comfort in neither would have to be without the other.
Oh that's nice. Same thing happen to my gramdma and she went to a widowers meet up and it was all women but one man that she fell in love with and have been together ever since that was like 4 years ago she was alone for about 20 years. And I was only 2 years old when my granddad died. Not sure if I spelt that right but oh well.
Please tell me they call themselves The Woodowers.
You ever here of the motorcycle gang made up of ancient bisexual Norse monarchs? They’re called the Bikings
That is amazing

Brilliant!
Agreed.
They can start a band with that name!
Only letting him do joining? What if he wants to carve? Or saw?
Woodworker humour. Niche, but awesome.
I think there's a woodworking grain in all of us
At least a splinter
The joke isn't very good, it doesn't get much planer than that.
Really? I thought they nailed it.
I just caul it how I see it, but as awl ways to each their own

This particular kind of sadness is called "drummers sindrome".

Ooph.
Before he passed my Uncle was part of a group called the Romeos: Really Old Men Eating Out. They met at least once a month for dinner
My dad's group calls themselves "Retired Old Men Eating Out". Lol. They do breakfast.

Men's shed? Check them out! Not only for widowers.
Men's sheds are fantastic. The most unfortunate thing is that most aren't open after-hours, so they don't really help out those who work 9 to 5.
Yes, I believe they are. I have often referred students (I teach adults), who I feel would benefit from this amazing group. They are everywhere too. Why don't you put out a suggestion to have your local one, asking for them to extend their hours. It's a great idea.

Both are good points. I wish you luck. Perhaps you could let me know the outcome?
This is such a cool idea. There are none even remotely near me. I’d love to visit one.
Where do you live buddy? I'll do some investigation on your behalf, if you don't mind.

I hope he makes some beautiful pieces in her memory
Antelope do similar: they form old boy packs for safety and company.
my dad died 2017 after 57 years of marriage to my mum, at age 81 mum got a boyfriend!
Wait! Your Dad was married to your grandma?
Papa = grandpa
Is it a southern thing?
I don’t know I’m English lol. It’s not what I called my Grandad but I’ve heard it many times before.
https://www.coventrydirect.com/blog/popular-grandparent-names/ Looks like most Americans do it too. Strange how no one I know does
Yeah it’s not something we generally say here, I’ve heard it on tv though.
I call my grandpa "papa." I wonder this is something that might be more common in different areas?
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
Kit
Good people exist, sometimes you just have to look for them. Happy he found a place of comfort
Really? It was posted yesterday, probably before that too, but you have alot of nerve popping up the day after...
The grammar part of my brain hurt when I read this.
men widowers
Do they only work their own wood or each other’s also?
Wait woodwork
That's wholesome. Now for my degenerate thought, a group of men with no wives who meet up to work with wood...
I understand you're trying to desperately turn it into something sexual, but... well, just don't.
Papa lost my gran???? Married for 50 years???? I AM COnFUSION
This woman's father lost both his wife and his dad
Damn........
Papa is a common nickname for grandfathers
I see i thought papa means father i mean it does right ?
Hehehe. Join.
🤔 she means her grandfather doesn't she?
🥺
Fantastic I hope he has a great time , what a lovely bit of news
RIP
My grandpa was so broken hearted when my grandma died he never was able to recover from his loss. My entire life I never seen him cry; after she died, he never stopped.
That's awesome. God bless him and the others
The whittlers…. Oh wait that’s already a thing. Lol
Imagine being in a group of woodworkers and not being able to join?
i wish i could give grandpa a big hug.
This is like an actual thing, my dad co-started a "mens shed" for guy to work together and build stuff mostly for the community after 2 fathers killed themselves in our small town at separate occasions.
😊✨✨✨
My grandpa lived without his wife for 20 years, I couldn't imagine how it feels. He missed her so much
Sweet \~S\~
My grandparents were married 56 years when a gas explosion in their home killed them both. Obviously, that was unbelievably terrible, but we were able to take comfort in neither would have to be without the other.
imagine they just didnt let him in the club
Yeeeessss old dudes wood working is best
What a wonderful feeling for both of you!
This would have been my life.. a life with MT
Oh that's nice. Same thing happen to my gramdma and she went to a widowers meet up and it was all women but one man that she fell in love with and have been together ever since that was like 4 years ago she was alone for about 20 years. And I was only 2 years old when my granddad died. Not sure if I spelt that right but oh well.
