    As a coincidence, my Mom turns 88 today. The only gift she requests...


    BEAT THE HOLES!




    I can't buy her anything. She won't take it. No rational reasons. It's never that she doesn't like it. It's always --- "The wrong size...Wish I could use it...Not my color". What she really wishes is that I would not spend money on her. She won't even allow me to pick up even something as basic as a carton of milk for her, if I'm at the store already, without paying for it. I can't get her anything and it is a frustration. Oh well. Hopefully her large wish above comes to pass.

    Give her a hug, tell her you love her and make her a card from Print Shop. Two outta the three won't cost you a cent and the third will be a few pennies worth of ink and paper. I will bet she will appreciate your love AND frugality.


    And if that doesn't work, take some random tarheel out behind the barn/house tonight and knock the living #$%^ outta him.

    I've gotta leave now and pick up some flowers, already have the card. Need to get back before the women's game.

    Flowers are a great low/no cost idea, too, especially if they are from a neighbor's flower bed/garden.

    You could also give her a thread of her own. You know, Mama Mojo's Birthday Thread. Then all of us can serenade her (and pad our post counts).

    If that doesn't work, you could get her a lot of pillows.

    Funny ... I seem to have gotten a lot closer to Morrocco than I have to Bali.

    Ymm, NASCAR today too!

    the continuing saga

    When I came back from church, I found that Arrogant Guy had both of his cars parked in his single car space again. I went by the office to tell them and spoke again with the person I talked to yesterday. Apparently when she called him yesterday he copped attitude with her, too. Told her that his two cars together weren't any longer than a truck (extended cab, maybe). He doesn't seem to get the problem: he's parking two cars in a one car space and blocking the road. One of the other office folks went down with me and looked - his second car is about two-thirds out of the space. Arrogant Guy is going to be talking to the leasing manager next. I got the impression that the office people are on my side. The person that called him yesterday and got chewed out is going to be talking to the leasing manager first and filling her in on what's happened. Dude's attitude isn't going to help his case.

    I can't believe all the coincidence here. There are currently two pillows down there, at her place, for repair!

    Just got back from riding my bike in the park. Riding into 20-30 mph wind gusts is a bit of a workout. I am so out of shape!

    Ugh...I'll be happy to see Lawson go. He realizes that he needs to be aggressive when they are switching on him. I think Cota realized the same thing years ago.

    He's just a junior...I think it might depend on how they do in the tourney.
