| Hi Everyone! 
Wow, you ladies really tore up the Thread! I feel so far behind, and it's only been one day! LOL!
1st of all, Poor Podmom! Hope your ankle is feeling a little better day by day! Yes, continue what you are doing and it should be better in no time. 
And I saw Black Stallion and Blue Lagoon, and I liked BS so much more, as BL was just Ok, IMHO.
I'm so glad you had a nice time with your Liz, and had a nice Mother's Day, well up until you got injured.
And the "Royal Elevator Ride" was really something!
And awww, how cute that Poddad was trying to impress you with his sliderule! LOL! Aren't Engineers a funny lot?! LOL! They sure are different.
Btw, Satan Jr. is an Engineer too.
And you and MyrnaLynne were definitely twins seperated at birth as you both will be celebrating your 29th this year as well! You both have sooo many things that are alike that it's so amazing!!! 
And that kitty is so adorable, and sooo small! Too cute!
And I've never been in an IKEA either, but they just built one in the next town over, so I'll be trekking over soon to experience it. LOL!
Hope your ankle is feeling better soon.  MyrnaLynne, I'm so glad you had such a nice Mother's Day! Actually you kind of had 2 days of Mother's Day, with the dinner and then the movie, and the beautiful Orchid! 
I think it's so nice to have a day to be honored! LOL! Glad someone thought of it! LOL!
I'm glad to hear that Mrs. Boss's Mom is still around. That would have been awful to loose her Mom the weekend of Mother's Day.
And that's impressive that your Dad went to MIT! He must be a very brilliant man! Was he an Engineer too? Don't mean to be nosy, just curious. 
I'm sorry to hear about Blood Ties being cancelled. But hopefully, like you said, that someone will pick them up!
And that's really ashame that they cancelled New Amsterdam before it even aired! How stupid is that?!
Oh, and I loved the picture you posted of Our Jason with YOU standing behind him!
Were you there to see Jason?
Oh, and I don't try to one up my Bro' in the gift department with his kids, it just happens.
And that box with the 25 presents in it... they were really small little presents, but all pertaining to the theme of what they liked. They really got a big kick out of it... it was more fun than expense.
But when it comes to Birthday Parties, my Bro' and SIL have Great imaginations with the themes... it's just the presents they bomb at. Too bad too because you'd think they'd be great at the gifts as well!
And you mentioned about wheelchairs... My Aunt, ( MOTHER's sister, the one who married the millionare), is giving my mother her late husband's wheelchair when she comes up for Lainie's Graduation Party.
Now here's the thing... MOTHER has COPD, Emphazema, the works, and refuses to use her walker because she says it makes her look old! And my Bro' told her: "You ARE old!" LOL!
Anyway, but when she's out shopping with me, she does fine because she uses the shopping cart to help her, and she goes at a normal pace then.
Well, now that she found out that she's getting the wheelchair, she's convinced that she can't walk in the stores any more and wants Lainie and I to do ALL her shopping FOR HER! Grrrrr! She's just waiting on that wheelchair! Grrrrr!
And I KNOW her,,, she'll want to be carted all over the place in that stupid wheelchair! Grrrr! She's going to give up on walking all together and that's very bad! She hardly has any stamina now because she's a couch potato! She won't even go get her own mail down the hall! She makes Lainie get it for her. The only time she moves is when I take her out shopping, but looks like those days are gone now and she'll just atrophy, and she won't listen to reason. Grrrrrrr!
That's the worst thing my Aunt could have said to her. But she complains a lot to my Aunt, so I'm sure she has my Aunt convinced that she has one foot in the grave and that she needs that wheelchair.
That Jordan Furniture Store sound amazing! I've never heard of that chain, so I guess it's just on the East Coast. With a store like that, who needs an Amuzement Park?! LOL! Vero, I'm sorry to hear about your computer trouble, but thank goodness you have such a kind neighbor to help you out like that and get it up and running again! 
Wow, I didn't realize making bread was so complicated for you! No wonder you buy store bought bread... I do too! And I wouldn't even have to go thru' half of what you'd have to do to make bread.
There was a craze here in the States with these bread machines coming out to make bread making so easy... just put the ingredients in and turn the machine on and wait a little while and POOF, fresh baked bread!
I never got one of those machines, but my No.2 son wanted to get me one, but I told him that I really didn't want one. I think he was impressed by them, but I knew the newness would wear off and I'd have yet another appliance sitting around with no room for it.
And good luck to your sister on her SAT's. Hope she does well. 
And I don't know if I already wished you a Happy Independence Day, but Happy Independence Day! 
And yes, I'm VERY HAPPY that I'm NOT WITH Satan Jr. any longer. My sentence is OVER! Too bad he still causes my grief every now and then tho'! GRRRR!
And at the rate the East Coast has been having rain... I think THEY could send you some water! The poor things have been saturated with rain, rain, and more rain! I think they should start building an Ark!  Scottie, I'm so glad you had such a nice Mother's Day! That restaurant sounds lovely! And plus the gift certificate for the Spa is just wonderful! You made out really well! 
Too bad about all the rain tho'. You had a nice, but soggy Mother's Day.
Well, with all my complaining about my Mother's Day plans, I actually had a really nice Mother's Day after all.
AND, the best part was, that my No.2 son came after all! He made me VERY HAPPY that her did! And I know he ONLY did it for me.
Well, at the restaurant, the service was slower than a snail, I'm talking REALLY SLOW! But the food wasn't bad... I enjoyed what I got, and so did MOTHER but half of the family said it was bland, and the other half said it was good, so there you go. 
Then it was back to MOTHER's for cake and visiting. We all had a nice time as we don't get together as a family that often.
All in all, it was a really nice Mother's Day. 
Hope Everyone has a Great Day!
Hugs to All,
