Mom: You know, it’s a good thing I don’t have a YourFace account, because then I would be on the internet all day long.
Me: Ummm… MySpace?
Mom: Oh yeah, I guess that’s it.

I played with a kid’s iphone today…a marvel.  But it seems you still need a computer for pics.  But it did everything but the laundry.
Love, mom

Pet peeve: people who don’t take the time to change to ‘Subject’ line, from (for example), “Helmet Safety” to “I need Clothes.”  Reason: i’ll have in my mind that we discussed your need to wear a helmet, which is totally untrue. Please help in my quest to put correct subject lines in America’s e-mail.

Haven’t talked to you since your trip.  I hope it was lovely.  I am becoming a nerd.  Really.  I now know how to program actions on photoshop.  You may be interested!
I have two checks for you which compromise the bulk of your inheritance.   One of Nana’s great traits as a Grandmother, is that she thought [...]

Have you ever googled yourself??? I googled “Your Name” and “Fantasy Baseball” and your articles and analyses are all over the freaking internet! When do you have time to write papers for school???

I think that we are going to finally ditch AOL.  I want to save my favorite places and also my old email. The computer is running very slow.  I brought it down to the computer guy, and he recommends that we get a new hard drive.  He said that my hard drive is corrupted.  Who [...]

Backstory:  got a tarot reading in Mexico City, and one of the things I was told was that I should call my mother, which I posted about on my travel blog…
Just caught up on your latest blog posting, and I must say it took me by surprise!  Tarot!  Well, I see you didn’t
mess with the [...]

Hi!
I still haven’t found the book but I was wondering if there were any foodie blogs you could tap into, someone who might be willing to chat online about the book or if there were any other websites you could read reviews, etc.  I am NOT suggesting you meet anyone in person as that would [...]

ok, i got the addresses for work people, and i brought my address books to work, since i still do not have the internet at home.
i will work on my list here at work, so i can send it to you in an attachment, like you did.
i had a huge and i do mean huge [...]

Hi Sweetie,
If you ask me real nice, I might let you caress the keyboard of my computer.  It is sweet and fast. Ahh……..I love Windows Vista.  I figured out your father’s password and gave him an icon on the desk top.  I wouldn’t have done this but the other computer started flashing like a strobe [...]

Loved your blog.  Laughed hysterically. Keep it up.!
Noted a few typos, though.  It is hard to edit your own stuff.  If you would like me to take a quick look at future entries, you could send me a draft, though I know you have plenty of editor/writer friends who would be happy to do it [...]

HI!
I remembered I hadn’t said thank you for the wireless connection thingy that you also sent.  Dad is very excited by that. Apparently we can also use it with the IPOD thingy too but we definitely haven’t figured that out at all!
Once again thanks for bringing us in to this brave new world!
Love you guys.
Mom

Backstory: I sent my dear, sweet Mumsi the link to your website and ever since she has been signing her emails “LOL Mom”.  I wasn’t quite sure she understood what it meant, so I asked her…
I got the LOL from that website about Moms’ emails - some of the Moms used it to sign off [...]

Mom: I had a great sandwich, whole wheat pita, ground turkey meat seasoned w/garlic salt, avocado (lots),lettuce, parsley, cucumbers,waterrcress. Yum-Yum
Me: did you make it
Mom: Yup. I keep a fresh salad in the fridge, with romaine,parsley,cuces, and watercress.Then we put a dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice.  Again Yum-Yum You can used the [...]

I saw that [redacted] fellow sent you a silly email at 2:30 AM.  How sad.
I think he is crying out to be accepted by you.  I think you should invite him over for a bbq and let him know he doesn’t need to be successful or funny or even smart, to be your friend - [...]

Mom: Can’t get the scanner to scan a photo.  What am I doing wrong?
Me: it’s too complicated.  put photo in and try to hit scan button
Mom: Did - doesn’t do anything.  I’ll just mail the photo to your aunt.  It’s a pic of our parents graves. She has difficulty accepting that they are dead.
Me:  That’s [...]
