Well, you've read the notes, you know what sort of a day it is, you know that mothers everywhere will be treated with special care, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home, which will be right after they celebrate Mother's Day for Cows.

And the word of the day is: USURP!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers...and mothers-by-proxy...and mothers in absentia (I looked that up)!!

George · « **Reply #3 on:** May 08, 2005, 02:05:43 AM »

But then, does it make sense? I mean, for instance, Happy Mother's Day to fathers whose children have no mothers.

Anyway, I'm going to bed now. Goodnight, all!

Happy Mother's Day.

I am now watching BREAKFAST WITH THE ARTS.

Glad to hear that TMM was enjoyed last night. I like the movie, but have never seen the musical stage show, although I do have the CD!

GODZILLA - all the music! Wow! I have the Best of Godzilla cd which will have to suffice for now.

Today I have a cleaning day (another) at the barn theatre followed by the board meeting, so I may be scarce as the day goes on.

Hopefully I will see some photos before I go.

Topic of the Day.....what is your favorite photograph of your Mom?

Matt H. · « **Reply #11 on:** May 08, 2005, 07:39:59 AM »

I like the movie of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE a lot. The Russian Wedding sequence could be dispensed with but otherwise, I find it a fun musical romp. Wish it could have had a completely new movie musical score rather than just a couple of new songs and a lot of standards, but I still like it and watch it now and then. Might even pop it in today.

Matt H. · « **Reply #12 on:** May 08, 2005, 07:40:53 AM »

Yep, Happy Mother's Day indeed. I lost my mom in 1999, so I use this day to reflect on some wonderful times I spent with her.

I have a picture of my mother taken for a high school yearbook when she was an algebra teacher. It was taken right before she married, and I have to say it's the most flattering picture of her I've ever seen.

Matt H. · « **Reply #14 on:** May 08, 2005, 07:43:59 AM »

I know I plan to watch a couple more ANGEL episodes today, but other than that and (possibly) THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, I have no idea what movie I might pull off the to-watch shelf to look at today.

Good Morning!

Another groggy morning for me, but I'm up... And the matinee is in about 90 minutes so... And I still need to eat my breakfast - Steve made bacon and potatoes - I shall make some fresh eggs for my self in a jiffy... In any case...

DR Jane - Great news about Bogie.

As for favorite pic of my mother... There's one of her and my godmother in Paris, in front of the Louvre - the "old" Louvre, circa 1972. It's actually a great picture of both of them.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2005, 08:14:23 AM »

Well, let me get some food into my stomach and then I have to get ready to head in for the shows...

Laters...

Mom pic...

Way back, before the Mine Train Ride (or whatever it was called) at Disneyland became the Great Thunder Mountain Not-Really-a-Rollercoaster, my Dad was able to get a pic of Mom just as the train was passing under a waterfall. A gust of wind blew a spray of water on Mom, and the look on her face is priceless.

Mom passed away several years ago, and Dad has fortunately remarried a wonderful woman named Paulann. But I don't have a good picture of her...yet.

hmmm...I don't know which is my favorite picture of my mom...but this is one that I like very much...my mom Carroll and my dad Willard circa 1965...

Surfing around the web...

I think I've found a restaurant that I would not care to dine at. Too claustrophobic, somehow.

And they'd probably serve seafood, which would make me uncomfortable under the circumstances.

Good pic of your father, Michael. You resemble him, in many good ways.

Very nice photo, DRMBARNUM.

Am I the first mother to post today? If so, thanks for all the Mother's Day wishes. DH Richard gave me a lovely card and 2 (count 'em, 2) bags of dark chocolate M&M's (my new favorite).

DH and I consider ourselves very fortunate to still have both mothers. His mom today is in northern Ohio with her oldest son, celebrating the christening of her first great-grandson (born last Dec. on her 88th birthday). Later this afternoon, we're going to pick up my mother, and our DS Rob, and go for Graeter's ice cream near the University of Cincinnati.

My mother has a somewhat irreverent sense of humor and one of my favorite pictures of her was taken at a Halloween party when she was co-leader of my Camp Fire Girls group. The other mother was dressed as a princess or something else lady-like, but my mom is wearing a striped convict outfit and one of those grotesque rubber masks. It says a lot about how much we laughed (and still do - she's a fan of Chicago and The Producers) while I was growing up.

I'm up, I'm up. I'm up and we're not even at page two yet by ten-thirty CA time? Skammen. There are more mothers here than I imagined. Well, hopefully we'll pick up some steam.

USURP, baby, USURP.

I have now sent my photos from my phone to my e-mail address twice, and yet they have not arrived (and are not in the spam folder). What gives?
