Happy Mother's Day, mothers! :cool:
I was on Facebook earlier, seeing all the updates for Mother's Day, and I decided to post a contrarian Facebook update, in which I said, "Screw Mother's Day" and elaborated on how it's a Hallmark holiday that enables bad mothers. Then I made some scrambled eggs, coffee, and pancakes (burnt on the outside, battery in the middle), secure in the knowledge that my mother doesn't frequent Facebook.
Exactly one hour later, I got a call from my mother. It's Mother's Day, makes sense.
"Hey mom!" I say.
"Hey...watcha doin'?"
"Oh, just made myself a big breakfast. How's the special day treating you?" I ask.
"What do I care?" she says. "It's just a - quote - hundred-year-old tradition co-opted by Hallmark."
I chuckle, because I've talked about this with her before (usually before I give her a present). But then dim laughter behind her voice piques my interest.
"Well, I love you mom, but it's true."
"Are you sure, Jim?"
"Where are you?"
"Oh" - and I hear real triumph in her voice - "I'm just visiting Omaha, and I happen to have your grandma and aunt on speaker-phone."
:lol:
DaMU's mom calls him before he can call her on Mother's Day. What a dick.
My dog caught a bird today. Okay, it was a pigeon, but still, kind of crazy. He was holding the bird in his mouth, and I wasn't sure what he was going to do. Neither did Marty.
I yelled out to him to let it go, and he did. What a peaceful dog.
Now he's barking at me to play more.
I didn't call my mother today.
It's such a stupid holiday.
I think I've broken my little toe, and I'm happy that I have a few painkillers left from last time I had a groin injury.
But I can't wear shoes, and if I have to spend $100 on a pair of sandals for work now, I'm going to throw a fit.
I got you a present.

got that for my father in law for christmas a few years back.

i quite like 'tyrannosaurus rex brain' and 'enough plutonium to make a bomb'. but with some of the others like 'quarter of the human immune system' and 'vol of bacteria living in your gut' it seems like they could've done better
I might have a house on Monday.
I MIGHT HAVE A HOUSE ON MONDAY.
Holy cats, I need to pack.
This is just perfect. I'm so happy! On Saturday I was in the city and my sister and I went up on Federal Hill to play with the cannons, and I was looking over the harbour and I said, "This is a beautiful city."
And then I realized, I do think it's a beautiful city. Somewhere in this whole mess I really got sold on Baltimore.
It has its... charm.
The connected area of Fed Hill, Inner Harbor and Harbor East/Canton is indeed nice and sometimes beautiful. But that's about 10-20% of the whole city.
Facebook just suggested that I add two hot skanks in bikinis that are obviously fake accounts, because apparently my dumbass cousin is friends with them.
Do old people still have sex? Often?
I mean, assuming both partners' bits and pieces are still in working order. Do couples in their 60s and 70s still get bizz-ay?
