The Great Paranoid Pumpkin
Backstory: After a late night out, I let my phone die; apparently, this means that I died too. I really don’t know why she signed this as the Great Pumpkin.
Hi,
Probably everything is fine and I am just in a panic, but….
I sent out my usual good morning text this morning and there was no reply. No matter, thought 7 was too early, but there was no reply at 9:30 either. So I thought I would give you a call, and it went straight to voice mail.
So, you can see that a paranoid person, such as myself, with a vivid imagination, could become worried.
There is probably a logical explanation for this, such as you are busy and your phone is dead.
Just want to make sure you are okay, so can you please send me an email and let me know that you are okay?
Sincerely
The Great Pumpkin
Post-Breakup Advice for Chronic Masturbators
Backstory: I broke up with my girlfriend and when I shared the news with my mom, she accused me of being a chronic masturbator!
Love goes through a lot of changes and seasons. Did you once have romantic feelings for her? To whom do you compare her? She is a gem, a treasure of a person, albeit not a Christian.
Honestly, and this is hard to write, I saw a stack of your mail at Tom’s when you were on your long trip. I saw the magazines, and no real woman could ever measure up – nor should they ever have to or be compared to a model, a prostitute, or other woman who has allowed herself to be subjected to the lust of strangers in return for money. It breaks a woman’s heart to see her man’s head swivel at the image of another woman – an image he likely tucks away in his mind to masturbate about later.
Mom’s Mind Is Out to Sea
Backstory: My Dad was a Navy Captain and was always out to sea, so Mom got used to writing telegrams. All her e-mails are one paragraph and include ALL the news fit to print, no matter how diverse the subject. Her stream-of-consciousness updates always delight me.
Thanks for the stroke material. I was worried too which is why we went straight to emergency yesterday. Dad’s b/p and other responses were good. Did you access Jim’s attachment with all the photos? That place sure does photograph well. The inside, while incredibly charming, needs lots of TLC (e.g. paint, floor refinishing, new appliances). But it really is like a mini-estate. ANd the price is a bargain. I think they paid more plus the new roof but now they have three houses and prefer the latest one. Did you see it? Meanwhile I am laid low with IBS. I started to cook a complicated Chinese meal and then said to hell with it, we’ll have frozen pizza.
Diet Foiled by Autocorrect
Going on major diet tomorrow. Guess what?? Was typing tomorrow and left off the “t” and didn’t get the “m” in and it autocorrected to Oreos!! Woohoo! I am not joking
Climbing & Unwrapping Are Skills of Mine
one quick thought - just to let you know I’ve come down off my high horse and am eating my Godivas like someone is going to take them away. I wrapped them in a bag and put them on a high shelf, however, it seems climbing & unwrapping are skills of mine.
so I’ll be on a major sugar high for a while and will call you crying when I crash.
love
mom
p.s. do you have spaces between your toes? can you spread them open?
How’s That Boy You Were Seeing?
How’s that boy you were seeing? I can’t remember his name, the one that works at TGYF of Rudy Tuesdays or Applebee’s. I know he likes the red sox tho.
Mom/pill pusher
Backstory: My parents’ dog has been really sick and not eating lately, so I emailed Mom to see how he’s doing. Clearly, she is more worried about this dog than she ever was about her human child.
Hadn’t eaten one bite of anything until just now. I heated up a scrambled egg I’d made for him this morning. Ate about half of it. He threw up in the night and then again this morning after our walk. Dr. N called a while ago. I’m now to give him Prednisone 2 x a day, back on Pepcid 2 x a day, along with all the other meds. Also, tomorrow I’m going to Whole Foods to find a special type of Magnesium for him to take. His Mag is low, which Dr thought was because he wasn’t eating, but it could be low and that’s why he’s not eating. Chicken and egg???
Chat with you tonight.
Love,
Mom/pill pusher
Would You Take My Thinning Hair?
Mom: Believe me, if I could have your symptoms for a while to give you a break, I would totally do it.
Me: i am so touched that you would want these guts of mine
Mom: I would take anything of yours, but honestly, would you want what I have in return? A bum leg that is cold and purple? Thinning hair? A sagging ass? Dark circles? A bad memory?
I Didn’t Just Fall Off the Turnip Truck
Me: This wedding is going to be a Tanya & Alice Production
Mom: oh yes, a T & A production
Me: Do you know what T & A stands for?
Mom: TITS & ASS
Me: Yes mom
Mom: I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck tanya.
It’s Not Called Mom’s Nipple Book
Backstory: Mom had breast cancer and then subsequent breast reconstruction. Three years later she finally had the nipple construction and was so excited she posted about it on facebook.
Mom: Did I horrify you?
Me: No lol I already knew. I don’t care. It’s your nipple do with it what you will.
Mom: Yeah but no one wants to see their Mom’s nipple on Facebook.
