1. My dear pokerfan...

Now, isn't that nice?

And I think that it could apply just as easily to all women who have nurtured someone, their own child or someone else...

:D

2. Or even a cat.

Edited on Sun May-10-09 01:22 AM by Heidi

For example, The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger allowed me to sleep until 6 this morning, and then he made me open only two cans of cat food before he settled on a favorite. He must know it's a special day. :7

3. My dear Heidi!

Absolutely!

Any creature that a woman nurtures makes her a mother to that creature...

The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger knows today is special!

And he is very lucky to have you for his mom...:hug:

11. Or a dog, or fish, or a bird, or a snake, or whatever pet owns you,

Happy Mother's Day to you and CalPeg, Heidi!

14. Thank you, my dear SeattleGirl!

That was a very lovely and thoughtful sentiment, and I would be most remiss not to acknowledge it...

Happy Mother's Day to you as well!

Will you be spending some time with your daughters? I'm going to lunch with my daughter and SIL, which I'm looking forward to.

25. Not today ...

I saw them recently, though...

My younger one said she would call...

It'll be a quiet normal sort of day for us.

We really have never gotten into it...neither my parents or my husband's did either...

I'm glad to hear you'll spend some time with your daughter and SIL!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

28. How are your daughters doing, Peggy?

Mine is studying like made for finals.

My SIL made it through the latest layoffs at Microsoft (YAY!).

I wish my own mother were still around, but she does live on in my heart.

30. They're good!

My older one is a professional painter now, and is starting to make a name for herself and her work...

It's tough with the economy the way it is.

And my younger one is very busy with her two boys and her husband, plus a full-time job as a 911 operator/dispatcher!

She does have quite a lot of job security...

Thanks for asking!

I hope things continue well for your daughter and SIL...

31. Good luck to your artist daughter!

She does great work, and I hope she makes a success of it.

And your other daughter: yep, she has job security, for certain!

13. I am LOVING it!

It's so much easier to use and Waaaaaaaaaaaay more reliable than IE ever was!

I would even go so far to say that it's rather elegant...

Thank you for the much-appreciated nudge in that direction...

22. So, he's the mascot for Linux?

And now I'm supposed to use this?

For what?

I'm not really into video games...

26. I forgot, you might be on a Mac

It's just an alternative to Windows. No more viruses, spyware, etc. A Microsoft update that killed my firewall was the last straw for me.

27. No, I'm on a Windows machine...

And I've had no real problems with viruses...

They have happened, but it's rare.

Sorry about your experience...

32. It wasn't a virus,

it was a regular Windows update that crippled my machine.

Of course, some would say that Windows itself is a virus. :) I'm just happy to have an alternative.
