The Best Way to Enjoy New Music
Backstory: My beloved mom is 80 yrs old. She was asking me about my best friend, who lives in another state & I was telling her that I sent her some CDs.
me: She liked the CDs but one had some music I didn’t listen to before I sent it.
mom: Music today isn’t pretty like it was in my day but what was wrong with it?
me: Four songs by the same band, one is great, the rest were terrible. How can the same band make one good song and three terrible songs and they all sound totally different?
mom: drugs
me: LOL. Maybe if I had some drugs, it would have sounded better.
mom: Well I don’t know what kind of music it is but maybe a little marijuana or cocaine would help you enjoy it more.

Jonesing for Valium
Backstory: I’m not on valium or any kind of drug.
Hi Honey -
Do you have any extra valium? And I’m not even kidding!! I have run out and am in desparate need of some sleep. I sleep for maybe 4 hours then wake-up and my mind takes off . . . and I can’t get back to sleep. Too many things going on. I really need 8-9 hours to function well. I would prefer not to have to go to a doctor here, so I just thought I would ask. You could mail them to me – 3 day service.

Grammy Was Thrilled.
Your phone accidentally called my office on Saturday afternoon about 5:45 and recorded a conversation you were having with two male friends. Included in this conversation was discussion of Axing Lexie and being stopped by the policy for smoking MJ.
Grammy was thrilled by your call. She is so pleased when you take the time to call her.
I am glad you are getting paid today. Let me know what is going on on the housing front.
Much love,
Mom

Send drugs
Backstory: I recently moved to México and my mother seams to think that I’m her prescription drug mule. This is one of her emails with a very detailed shopping list.
Can you please see if you can get some Maxalt at a pharmacy? It is prescription here in the states..used for Migraine headaches…. It is not cheap, but if you put it on your charge card and let us know how much it is, we will send you a check to your dad’s house. Just bring it back to the states with you and mail it when you get to Sturgis or something. We stock up when we go to Mexico but had a hard time getting it this year…. If the pharmacist says “it is the same as Maxalt”…do not get it…. We have done that before and it is NOT as strong as Maxalt…. There is regular Maxalt tablets and Maxalt MLT… Maxalt MLT (which means “melt”…like put under your tongue). If you can not get Maxalt MLT then regular Maxalt is fine. The MLT is good for traveling, in a meeting, etc. If you can get between 6-8 tablets that should be good for now.
Thanks…let us know what you can do…
Love
Mom
