In 2003 I went back to Ireland to take care of my mother, who was dying from breast cancer that had gotten into her bones. I was with her for three months.
After she died, I was a basket case for a couple of years.
One favorite memory: she told me that when I was a baby, every time I started getting colicy, she’d pour a little glass of sherry, and then dip her little finger into it and feed me drops of it until I calmed down.
I’m sure that this would constitute child abuse in today’s day and age. Still, I find it cute.
I’m lucky to still have mom (and dad) at my age, and they are both vibrant and contributing citizens at 82 and 85. On their way here for rib eyes and burgers today, too.
– Dar sweets, when you get a chance would you post an open thread so we all can discuss the current news imbroglio stampede (which shall not be uttered and soil this moms tribute.) – :)
some people don’t have a mom and a dad they have like a stepfather and a mom and a dead real daddy or they have two dads (gay guys) or they have two moms (lesbians for example ellen and portia) or they have a dad and no mom at all or more likely they have a mom and for a dad they just have a food stamp allotment and some section 8 monies
gay people have kids too Mr. Blake so there’s lots of kids celebrating mother’s day with a person or persons of the lesbian persuasion it’s not my fault i had NOTHING to do with it
but mostly I just wanted to say I don’t really have a problem using Parent 1 and Parent 2 on forms though honestly I don’t have a preference either way really
this is not the hill now is not the time
mother’s day is a good day I think to treat your mom super special cause of lots of times by the time you get to the point where you really really super appreciate her more than beans and fishsticks it turns out they have the lifespan of your average golden retriever
Haps? I truly don’t give a fuck about what orifices you like to get slammed in, but I’m sick to DEATH of you bringing up shit that has nothing to do with the topic.
MOM? I love you, and I know you read this, so? please excuse my language. I’ll wash my own mouth out with soap, thank you.
y’all should go eat those wretched microwaveable pizza rolls and wash them down with yellow tail wine from target what they import from australia cause even aussies won’t drink it and then for dessert you can have something tasty but only if you clean your plate
if you want you can dip the pizza rolls in ranch dressing
No date yet. We’re busy figuring out how to erase 3000 miles first, as well as sorting out some elderly parent issues. But we’re committed to getting the band back together.
Right now we live in two of the worst states an American could possibly live in. The logistics will be interesting, but I’m eyeballing AZ.
i am not going to sink to your level Mr. serr8d I will honor this thread in the name of mothers everywhere cause of how Mr. sdferr said so eloquently
he said motherhood is the very cradle of property rights and I believe him
here is a nice singing what I first thought was about moms but I don’t think it is but i think he could repurpose it really easy with just a few tweaks
Thanks MOM.
Happy Mother’s Day, Darleen and all you other mothers.
Ah mothering, the very soul of the property right.
In 2003 I went back to Ireland to take care of my mother, who was dying from breast cancer that had gotten into her bones. I was with her for three months.
After she died, I was a basket case for a couple of years.
And I still miss her.
One favorite memory: she told me that when I was a baby, every time I started getting colicy, she’d pour a little glass of sherry, and then dip her little finger into it and feed me drops of it until I calmed down.

My sympathies, batboy.
I feel very blessed my parents (mom above) are still here … they just celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary! Mom’s 81 and dad’s 84.
– Any mom or dad that survives raising their spawn should get medals.
BBH
I forgo the medals as long as I am supplied wine & chocolate. :-)

In memoriam.
Last January 31 was the 11th anniversary of my mother’s passing. I rather doubt she’d approve of my remembering that date, but that’s on me anyway.
I think Wife of Slog and I will be celebrating a late Mother’s Day for her mom after W of S gets back from chasing tornadoes for grad school credit.
I raised my girls alone from the ages of 2 and 2 months, but I’m not a MOM. Someone upthread said he/she is lucky to still have one, and so am I
THANK YOU MOM for all you did, all you taught me and all your help with my own babies. Crying now, bye!!!
happy mothers day from baracky
Obama’s Department of Education Eliminates “Father” and “Mother” From Student Aid Forms
What are they now, nr? “Sperm donor” and “punishee”…?
parent 1 or parent2 or parent#. polygamy friendly almost. so let out an allan ackbar
Rapist and rape victim.
some people don’t have a mom and a dad they have like a stepfather and a mom and a dead real daddy or they have two dads (gay guys) or they have two moms (lesbians for example ellen and portia) or they have a dad and no mom at all or more likely they have a mom and for a dad they just have a food stamp allotment and some section 8 monies
Ellen and Portia don’t have kids and never will. Portia said so.
they probably like to travel a lot
Happy? and I mean this with love and respect for you , fuck off. This is a moms day thread, not a gay days thread.
I may have gotten the last one wrong, if so., apologies. However, the point stands.
gay people have kids too Mr. Blake so there’s lots of kids celebrating mother’s day with a person or persons of the lesbian persuasion it’s not my fault i had NOTHING to do with it

Mr. *Blitz* I mean… I apologize I dunno how I got confuzzled
Every thread the electric hamster comments in is a gay day thread.
categorically untrue
gayly colored pikachus are the new white this summer

‘feets, you should go eat a big electric yellow dick and leave this thread to us breeders.
Aside from celebrating my own soon-to-be-sainted Mom, I’ve been doing a bit of long distance celebrating with my Baby Mama/Ex-wife cum fiancé.
It’s official: Life is weird yet wonderful.
y’all should go eat those wretched microwaveable pizza rolls and wash them down with yellow tail wine from target what they import from australia cause even aussies won’t drink it and then for dessert you can have something tasty but only if you clean your plate

Wait, what? Have you gotten engaged, Pablo?
Congrats!
Oh, also, lots of love for the pw moms. I hope you all had a good one.
That’s wonderful, Pablo. Congratulations.
Let’s have one day a year that doesn’t turn into a political pie-fight.
Let this be the day.
Thanks, bh. I got roses and brand new moccasins.
You know they love you when they get you nice moccasins.
Yes. To the woman I married 20 years ago. Go figure. And thanks.
That’s great, man. Cheers.
When’s the big day?
Congrats, Pablo! And Happy Mother’s Day to all the pw moms!
after W of S gets back from chasing tornadoes for grad school credit
To paraphrase the old joke, what would she do if she caught one?
No date yet. We’re busy figuring out how to erase 3000 miles first, as well as sorting out some elderly parent issues. But we’re committed to getting the band back together.
Right now we live in two of the worst states an American could possibly live in. The logistics will be interesting, but I’m eyeballing AZ.
It sounds exciting! I love new beginnings.
Pablo!!!
Life may be weird, but if you guys have found each other again and it’s good… CONGRATS and best wishes for many many happy years!
Bring it home for a pet. Just like she does with cats.
…the obvious name would be Taz, but we’ve already had one (1995-2012).
Happy Mom’s day to all who have, or who are, or know, a special Mom.
Oh, and for ‘feets, Dan has reason #832 why Gays shouldn’t be allowed to ‘nurture’ children.
Cheers!

I think I might could be autistic
Whaddya mean “sink”?
you be nice Mr. Ernst
you be the man your mama raised you to be
this caustic expostulation is ill-becoming a learned and serious-minded man such as yourself
Headline: Well-poisoner unhappy with results of well-poisoning.
My Mom didn’t raise me to suffer fools gladly.
Fool.
He said caustically.
thank you for your reply Mr. Ernst and speaking of homophobic british army guys here’s a great movie you can netflix
