thedame007 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Well I just about lost control of my bowels!!! Then I realised it is March in the UK and I already passed this years test! Can the mothers of the world not share a bloody day so this doesn’t happen again?!! Or would there be such a spike in flowers forcing people to send a bunch of nettles... 1

Well...I was sitting here, my eyes cloudy from the volcanic haze....or perhaps it was just the smoke from my cigar. The wine-in-a-box was flowing just as fast as I could suck it through a straw. I skimmed through your post and saw the words “different countries”, and “mother’s day”, and “specific dates”, and hastily formulated a quadratic equation in my head that brought me to my erroneous conclusion. Upon further consideration, I now see this could never be correct, as a quick search on the ethernet tells me there are only 195 Countries in the world, eliminating the possibility that there could be a Mother’s Day somewhere in the world every day. My mother, bless her heart, thinks I have a strange sense of humor too.
canadianbeaver Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 I am a mom twice and I always used to say to my mom, “Happy Day, you Mother!” It made her laugh. CB 1 1

She was beautiful and brilliant. Great picture. My paternal grandmother was the daughter of a coal miner in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. She was 100% Irish and literally as tough as nails. She started “sipping” beer at age 12 but was never a big drinker. My Dad always tells me he never once saw her cry, not even at her husbands funeral. My paternal grandfather (her husband), a third generation coal miner as well whom I never had a chance to meet, was of German descent yet spoke with an Irish accent as he grew up surrounded by Irish coal miners...the closest he ever got to Ireland was when they later moved to New Jersey. Always been fascinating stuff to me. Thanks for sharing and happy mothers day to your Mom.
