As some of you know, my partners 86yr old mother mother fell down crossing the street between Peter Cooper and her favorite coffee shop. She was in the hospital for a week, then a nursing home rehab place that wasn't the best, and today she goes back to the hospital.
This thursday he's flying to NYC for 10 days to help relieve his sister as she's been doing everything, and to see his mom. He's very upset and freaking out....and it doesn't help that his dad passed away two years ago this month.
Please, just think good thoughts........while his mother may drive me crazy, I have never met a more unique character in my life.

I want to get him a ticket to The Color Purple to take his mind of things just for a couple of hours........is that appropriate?

E - I think you had a rant and a question.

First, do not claw your face. Think about all the money that you have spent on moisterizer??????

Second, yes!

Surprise your honey - that would be nice.

I have a few people you could claw if you are offering.

And scream away - that is always fun.
