Thanks For Nothing

My 84 year old mother, who weighs about 90 pounds soaking wet, told me during our phone conversation today that I needed to lose weight. Something about beer and calories, long commutes, chips and dip, no exercise, blah blah blah blah.

I didn't think that was very nice. So I'm making her assemble some new exercise equipment when it arrives on Tuesday. That will teach her. I hope she doesn't have a hard time getting that treadmill and elliptical machine down to the basement. I don't want to see any scratches on the wall or on the machines. Tell me I need to lose weight.... Hmmph.

Yeah, ok, but is her motorcycle BIGGER than yours??
Hey Solo! No, but actually I think her turbo red walker with the wheels and the built in seat goes faster than my bike.

The sheer nerve of that woman! Hope she has the good sense to apologise with a packet of chocolate biscuits?

My dear old ma once gave me a tube of spot cream for my birthday - bless her, eh?
