• Becoming a grandmother: maternal grandmothers' mental health, perceived costs, and personal growth.

• Grandmothers Share Skills That Help Them Save Money

Grandmothers are masters of handing out hugs and kisses. They're also masters in the kitchen, with a needle and thread, in the laundry room, and at handing out advice. They know how to make a home and keep it in running order. More often than not, they know how to do it without spending much money. Younger generations seem to have missed out on some of the lessons that their grandmothers knew so well. Those everyday, practical skills - sewing a missing button on a cuff, roasting a chicken, getting a garden to grow - can help stretch today's household budgets as well.

• Thanking Our Grandmothers

I wouldn't be where I am today without my grandmother who raised me single-handedly. She was not rich. She was a low-level hospital laundry staffer. She was not highly educated compared to my father who was an appellate court judge, former dean of graduate studies at Eastern Kentucky University and is now a United Nations human rights judge prosecuting war crimes. Grandma's only credential was possessing the loving heart for a child. We can preach all the bestselling sermons in the world or host the best black-tie dinners, but if we can't do anything concrete to salvage Black America's future, the ministry is a big joke. Theatrical homiletics at the pulpit with frenzied cheerleading elders should be held to the compelling demands of Scripture to fight for the weak (foster children) and ...

• These Grandmothers Are Packing Heat

The adjectives that come to mind when you watch "Grandmothers, Incorporated" are "cute" and "entertaining." The show, which is having its world premiere at the Billie Holiday Theatre in Brooklyn, makes for a nice experience at the theater, though there are some slow moments. This show definitely has good qualities and some funny scenes, but it doesn't have the smooth, consistent entertainment level that productions at the Billie Holiday Theatre normally have.

At nighttime, the prostitutes on Van Houten Street make up a broad range of ages and backgrounds -- from grandmothers to former office workers to hard-nosed entrepreneurs. Many, but not all, of the prostitutes are addicts. And one small group professes to stand alone. Fashion plate

• Lesbian Grandmothers From Mars; Ok, Only One of Them Hails From Butler County. But They're Coming -- To Say Same-Sex Marriage Is Fine

We have met three groups," says [CARRIE ROSS-STONE]. "The one type is vocally opposed to the point of protesting us with signs -- mean, disgusting signs. Then there is that group that's silent but feels that way too. Then there is the third group of fence-sitters who just don't know what to believe. That's where I think we're making a difference. They're most interested in our story. We certainly do not look like the negative stereotypes [of lesbians] that are being slung about. In some cases we're told we don't even look like grandmothers." (Well, they're new grandmothers, with a grandson only one year old.) "Plus," she adds, "when we describe to people what protections we want, people are surprised that we don't have them" -- that is, the more than 1,000 privileges, from tax breaks t...

• Takes Five; Amy Peterson; Grandmothers Helping to Make a Difference

Amy Peterson, who wants to link grandmothers here with Ugandan grandmothers struggling to raise their AIDS-orphaned grandchildren, returned Wednesday from a 12-day trip with what she feels is the ultimate visual aid. It is a photo taken by her daughter, Sarah Walls, 23, and its power lies as much in what it does not show. Clustered the way Wisconsin families are when Dad or Uncle Bill pull out the camera at holiday gatherings, seven Ugandan women and their many grandchildren gaze out with soulful eyes. Hauntingly absent is an entire generation, the parents who died of AIDS. (To see the photo, go to www.jsonline.com/434745.) Peterson, Janine Arseneau and Sister Marie Goretti Nakitende co-founded the non- denominational Grandmothers Without Borders this year, with encouragement from the...

• Grandmothers Play an Essential Role... [Derived Headline]

Grandmothers play an essential role in their grandchildren's lives. Wisdom passed down generation to generation influences decisions that parents make and can have a significant impact on a grandchild's growth and development. Though much parenting wisdom remains tried and true, times have changed. Breastfeeding is one aspect of infant health in which the paradigm has shifted. A grandmother can use her influence to the benefit of baby's health by being supportive of breastfeeding and passing down advice to her daughter or daughter-in-law that is based on contemporary information.
