it's a sweet gig.

That's crazy! We let our parents pick theirs. Although my mom became Meemaw whenever my kiddo couldn't say Grandma. My brother's kids called her Grandma growing up. My niece had her first child a couple years after my kiddo was born. Since he had started calling her Meemaw, that's what my brother's grandkids will call her.

Congrats!

Congratulations on getting one past the goalie.

Congratulations! Being a grandparent is awesome aside from the being old enough to be a grandparent part.

I think his son did that or do you have some insider information that we all aren't aware of?

Glorydayz is going to a father again Grandpa

We called my grandpa Grumps. ROFL

What position was used to conceive?

If I ever had grandkids, I would insist on being called Grandfather Rain Man, Sir. It's never too early to instill a sense of formality.

Huge congratulations!

Congrats!
We got our first grandchild during the first year of COVID. That little bugger has me wrapped around his finger.

Congratulations

Congratulations! :thumb:

Today, SSI. I moved from PADI to SSI recently with the business, so I've dropped my PADI status to Alumni. We don't have enough people demanding PADI to make the dues worth it, so only one of us keeps their PADI active to work with those people. If I move to a different organization that's PADI, a fee and a skills examination will put me back right where I was, so it was a no-brainer.

All good. All of these organizations work off of Navy dive tables with only slight deviations to NDL table calculations, and don't we all dive computers these days anyway? And, honestly, PADI looks to be taking SSI's lead on allowing instructors more flexibility in skills assessment timing because, well, SSI has been cutting into PADI's dominance over the past 5 years. Again, I don't care, I just love to dive and love to teach people how to dive. The only downside to SSI is that you can't be independant, you have to be part of a dive operation that's "SSI". And PADI is being pressured into the same by some of their larger organizations that aren't happy that independent instructors who are working out of their garage are undercutting their prices.

That's a good point, I may have to tell them that if I don't get to pick my name, they have to agree that it's only one name used by all.
