Anyone else have a mom (or dad) who sends FWDS, even against your wishes, that contain life-changing notices or witty anecdotes.
I got one today about cleaning off soda cans or soup cans because some guy got yellow and died from eating some sh*t in some place.
Yesterday was about a lady in her 90s in a bathing suit, with multiple pictures of her wrinkly, saggy body parts squished into a Wal-Mart bathing suit.
And the day before that it was about not flashing my lights because of the GANG ACTIVITY.
Point is: I'm going to kill my mom.

Posted: 4/16/07 at 6:03pmMy mother knows how to play on pogo, that's about it. And I'm lucky if my dad sends more than 2 sentence e-mails.
BroadwayBoobs: I'll give all of you who weren't there a hint of who took the pictures ...it rhymes with shameless

My mom also calls me "Matt", and I think it's JUST to piss me off. Just because.
"Look Matt. You need to know this!!!

I really love my mom. She's cool, crazy, and very smart.
Apparently "Don't send me forwards anymore, bitch" doesn't click with her!?!?

Posted: 4/16/07 at 6:06pmMy Mom is 75 and sends me the dirtiest jokes. I am so proud of her!
"Friends are the people you chose as family."....Me.

I really don't FWD anything, am I a good mom?
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

my mother has no idea how to go to a website and even see pix I've posted. When she finds me on AOL, it takes her forever to respond to an IM....now when I see her come on, I run.
She is SO one of the computer impaired.
My dad goes downstairs, locks the door to that room and goes online......God knows where, but I have this horrible idea that one day I'll see him listed on a sex site, EWW!
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

That soda can e-mail made it's way into my inbox as well. Only slightly edited to encourage me to drink from dirty cans more.
It's ok, she just wants my money.
....but the world goes 'round

Not that you have any risk of running into him there...
